About Balance Junkie

In search of a better balance in money and in life . . .

Balance is something we all seek in life.  We live in a world that is increasingly busy, complex and filled with choice. The thought of finding balance is a very appealing idea but yet it remains a very difficult state to achieve.

The struggle to find time to devote to all aspects of life work, family, friends, health, religion, faith, achievement, etc is what this blog is all about.

Many years ago, Kim Petch started this blog as a personal finance blog.  Today, this blog continues where many personal finance blogs stop.  Although money is an incredibly important and complex part of our lives, we believe that life balance is about more than just money.

About Kim

Kim is a Canadian.  She lives in Southern Ontario with her husband and 3 sons. Her formal educational background is in English Literature, Education, and Psychology.  Like many other financial bloggers out there, she came upon her knowledge of money and markets both accidentally and by necessity.  She hopes that her writing helps others to make a change in order to improve people’s personal financial and life balance sheet.
