More about Kelsey:
I am a senior in college at the University of Wisconsin- Madison (go Badgers!) where I am majoring in Consumer Science with a concentration in Personal Finance. I am happy to be graduating next May, but I’m also scared and sad that this part of my life is coming to a close. But I’m excited to start a new chapter.

Why did you start blogging?
I never really knew much about blogging until I began my internship and they started talking about adding blogs to a specific website. I decided to take a look and started blogging about running and working out. I found a great running community online and found myself enjoying sharing my struggles and successes with strangers (even though my friends don’t understand this concept). Then, I began a blog with my favorite quotes. Now I read blogs about fitness, finance and celebrity gossip and share my stories on mine.

What do you think is the most important personal finance issue for our generation?
I think the most important personal finance issue for our generation is debt. Not just credit card debt, but also student loan debt, mortgage debt, car loan debt, etc. All of our overspending and debt will come back and haunt us at some point, probably in retirement when we realize we don’t have nearly enough saved as we need. Our generation needs to understand the concept of spending within our means and learning to save instead of spending everything.

What do you do in your free time?
When I’m not doing homework, working or sleeping (which is pretty much never), I love reading, running and hanging out with my friends and family. I also enjoy watching TV and movies. I love making lists for myself, my two favorites are my “books to read” list and “things to do before I die” list. I just wish I had time to start crossing things off on them!

What are your personal financial goals?
I have a lot of little financial goals, but my main goal is to make enough money to live comfortably, but at the same time, to be able to enjoy my life.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would absolutely love to travel to Greece. I love ancient history and I also love the landscape, especially the stark white buildings that contrast with the blue ocean. I would spend my days there exploring ancient ruins and walking around the cities.
