About Me

More About Me

I am a 50something woman living in Istanbul, Turkey.

I have never been married and I have no kids. A decision made when I was 8. Why? I don't know. My family was excellent. Must have been the neighbors. Lol!

I got obsessed with the Personal Finance World after finding several great Personal Finance Blogs and started a blog in Turkish back in 2007 but, apparently my country folk is not so much interested in being debt free or making smart choices when it comes to finances, so, I took that blog off-line.

I have a rather small family. Lost mom in June 2020 and the family feels tiny now. I miss her terribly. There is a huge hole in my life. 

My dad passed away back in 1994 but, I still miss him dearly. I have been blessed with the best parents in the whole wild world. 

I love my sister from here to the moon and back. She is the apple of my eye. She lives in Izmir with her husband.

I use a pen name T'Pol. I am a bit of a trekkie but, the real reason why I picked that name was both simple and stupid: As I was trying to figure out a pen name, Star Trek was on TV. So much for my creativity.

I live alone in Istanbul but, recently started contemplating to move to Ankara.

In my previous career, I have traveled quiet a bit and I especially like visiting the US every once in a while since I have lived there for 3,5 years and my BFF lives in upstate NY.

Needless to say, I am a very independent person. I hope I can stay that way. I guess I must concentrate on my health more to be able to do that.
