a proper introduction

I’ve been thinking about blogging for ages. Well not really, as I’ve only discovered some good blogs recently. I’ve been particularly inspired by JD’s blog at www.getrichslowly.org/blog. One problem in trying to emulate JD is that he is a very competent writer and I am less so. I guess that just means I’ll need to do more editing.

Personal finance blogs are mostly US based. I’m going to write from an English perspective, purely because I am English and I live in England. So I’m not going to talk about 401(K)s and Roth IRAs like everyone else does. Instead I’m going to talk about pensions and ISAs. But most other similar rules apply.
