The Weakonomist
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.
