An Interview With Young Entrepreneur Jun Loayza
Monday, August 25th, 2008
[display_podcast]
Jun Loayza graduated from UCLA in 2007 with a degree in Economics. After working for an international consulting firm out of college, he decided he needed a greater challenge—which led him to team up with some college friends to start the company Future Delivery. The company builds fun and productive technology for students and young professionals and recently launching their first project, FD Career.
This wasn’t Jun’s first taste of entrepreneurship. He and his friends also started a consulting company back in college. Jun recommends that the best time to start a company is as an undergraduate, not only because there are helpful resources at your university to get started, but also because it's a great time to experiment and get to know yourself.

Brazen Careerist , the twenty-something blogger network that I'm a part of, has been featuring articles on various cities from the perspective of young people who live there. I recently wrote an article on what it's like to live and work in Chicago—and why Chicago is more manageable than many other large cities.

Is Technology Erroding Our Savings?
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008
How many of your current bills go toward technology that didn't exist ten or 15 years ago? Taking a look at my personal budget, 7.5% of my total monthly spending goes toward basic cable, internet and cell phone bills—all of which have only recently become staples in our lives.
If that doesn't mean much to you, consider this fact—if I were to take the money that I spend each month on these "new" technology bills and start putting it into my savings account at just 3% interest, I would total over $41,000 in additional savings after 30 years. And this doesn't even include all of the latest techno-gadgets that I spend my money on.
To calculate your own spending, check out the Compound Interest Calculator.
Just something to think about.
