Christopher Musico is a recent college graduate
from Seton Hall University. After a short stint at a media relations
agency in New York City, he went back to his true love — writing — by
joining the staff at CRM
magazine, a Manhattan-based business trade publication focusing on
customer relationship management strategies and philosophies. Now an
assistant editor at the magazine, he focuses on contact center
technology and customer service strategies.
Before working at CRM,
he had prior experience in newspaper, television, media relations, and
corporate communications. He has always had a great passion for
personal finance, ever since receiving lessons on how to save, budget,
and stay in the black from his parents.
With the recent economic
conditions forcing twentysomethings like himself to juggle pay cuts,
furloughs, student loans, and everyday bills — all the while trying to
enjoy life and save for upcoming life events — he recently launched Living With Common Cents.
The blog will share the latest news in personal finance and budgeting,
along with a blow-by-blow account of his own personal financial
journey.
Really, he wants to bring sanity to the masses one ledger item
at a time.
I sincerely believe that twentysomethings like myself have been failed by schools to this point when it comes to practical personal finance lessons. The only reason why I feel I've been able to avoid unnecessary debt and stay afloat is due to the lessons my mother taught me back when I turned 18.
In this aim, I would like to share the tips and tricks I've learned both from others and on my own. In an age of smartphones, Twitter, and "intuitive" software, I believe all you need to start your own path back to financial success is a good attitude, a piece of paper, and a pen. Seriously.
The best way to start learning about me is by checking out my blog, Living With Common Cents. I update it once daily.
Personal finance--related articles can also be found on Associated Content, Ezine, and Speak Without Interruption.
Work-related pieces on customer service, contact centers, and other CRM topics can be found on CRM magazine's Web site.
