This week I’m excited to tell you about Ryan Johnson, a fellow blogger on personal finance in New Zealand. He had a very interesting start to his working career as it involved a pack of 52 playing cards. He is self taught when it comes to investing and is putting careful thought into exactly where to invest his savings and he openly shares that with me today. With student loans now paid off he has bucked the home ownership trend for now and has chosen to rent rather than buy a home. Month by month he is building a strong financial footing and he has learned a tonne about investing along the way.
