Newbie from Madison Wisconsin

[Shane Kalepp]

Hi guys,

I'm from Madison WI and currently a senior at UW-Whitewater majoring in Finance. I hope to become a financial adviser after I graduate. Right now, I'm just taking as much information and knowledge before I potentially take the leap. As you may know our country is in the trillions of dollars in debt with student loans and I happen to be a part of that percentage and my main focus is that after graduation. Once that is accomplished it begins the investing aspect of my life both in stock market and hopefully real estate. 

I've just started listening to the podcast about a week ago and have went back to many of the past shows that are achieved and love it! What amazes me the most is how tight knit this community seems to be. Before actually making an account I just did some browsing around the forums and was shocked by the help/assistance other members would give out. Along with the forums, I've noticed the amount of information this website has, specifically the learn section.

If there is anyone around the Madison area I would love to get some sort of mentor willing to help. I love learning and I'm an extremely motivated individual. 

Lastly, everyone have a safe and fun July 4th!!
