A Prospective Monkey

Hello everyone,

Been lurking on this website for a couple of days now. Decided to sign up because I was sick of not being able to read an entire forum.

Little background about myself: Separating in March 2016 with eight years of military service. I was stationed in San Diego for the entire eight years. I decided after this last enlistment that making it a career wasn't for me. Nothing against the military, at all, I loved my time in service.

After I separate I will be utilizing the G.I. Bill to go to school full time once I separate. I'm not sure where, but I can PROBABLY bet that I won't get into a "target" school, because I did not take high school seriously. At all. That's fine. I'm not worried about it.

I've always had an interest in finance, and now I feel that I am ready to take the plunge. I won't be commenting too much on forums for a while because there is so much information to read first. I look forward to meeting some of you, and learning. Mostly learning.

Have a good day!
