I knew I had found my life's passion after writing my first column for The Washington Post. The response was like nothing we had seen in the business section.

I think we were all shocked at how many readers wrote in to say that they too had a Big Mama who taught them about money.

My first piece of career advice is find your gifting. Find the thing that you are skilled at and figure out if you can make a living doing it.

I like the idea of having a paperless society.But to be paperless means you have to be so careful with your identity.
