Ever since July 2012, I have been focusing on building my savings account, my investments, and my net worth.

My credit card was a SonyCard, which gave me points to get free Sony electronics. This was a win-win for me because I love electronics and I love being able to “afford” the things I want. This card was the beginning of a long journey that I will never forget.
