Blogging Story: Marie Denee

4This blogging story comes to us from Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista.
Blogging for me started as a research project in 2008, while pursuing my Masters in Marketing. I knew I wanted to have a site for the fashion forward plus-size woman that spoke to my fashion aspirations.

I think my quarter-life crisis was a good catalyst too (I just turned 25 in January). Now I’m in the process of getting my name out there and building up traffic to the site because I know I have a lot of good content and a fresh perspective I want to share with the world!
My story is one that my community can learn from: learning financial literacy the HARD way! Back in college, I got through everyday expenses with a credit card and NO budget. BIG MISTAKE! When my new real world salary wasn’t as much as I thought it would be to miraculously pay off all my debt, I needed to change my lifestyle by:
1) Spending LESS than I made
2) Paying down the credit card debt ASAP
3) Building up an emergency fund and other assets so I actually had something to show for working my new “9 to 5″
