I picked 19-25 because blogging has made me feel accountable for my financial actions. I write about all my major purchases and I feel the need to justify them. If I am going to be a financial role model, I need to practice what I preach. So, this year is the year that I have really taken strides to become financially responsible.

Those four years in between I was just floating along, living paycheck to paycheck, racking up credit card debt, then paying it down only to rack up more, and financing brand new cars.

I'm going to mark "under 18" because I have pretty much always been responsible with my money... but if you mean financially responsible for myself (living on my own) then I was 19. Hmmm.
