My name is Philip (yep, that’s me there) and I live in southeastern United States.  On this website and others I refer to myself as The Weakonomist.  Am I full of myself?  Probably. 

I am in my twenties and work for one of the largest banks in the United States.  Yes you’ve heard of it.  I don’t say where I work, partially to hide any bias but mostly to keep from feeling the need to explain my company’s actions every time we’re in the news; which is often.  I’m not interested in promoting my bank over others, as I really don’t believe we’re the best. My time here is put to better use bashing my industry, as we really screwed some stuff up.

I didn’t got to a fancy university, but I went to a good one.  I majored in Finance and minored in Information Technology.  Yes I am good at both.  No wonder I started a money blog.

This blog is a hobby for me. My interests include personal and behavioral finance, along with cars, technology, astronomy, history, and learning. I do get out of the house though; I jog regularly and love to have a drink with friends.  I have an amazing girlfriend that is very supportive in this hobby, she’s even read the site a few times.  The picture is actually not of me (surprise!) but of my best friend, mentor, and accountant.  He is wise beyond his year (not a typo).  Occasionally I’m going to write about my personal interests but will do my best to put a Weakonomics spin on it.

I freely admit that I do not know everything about finance and money. I don’t have the best grammar or spelling. There will be opinions presented on this website. They are my opinions and my opinions only. They do not represent anyone but me. I am not a financial adviser.
