This is Alicia's first post in our Customer Blogger series. Over the upcoming months, we'll be following Matt, Alicia, Nancy, T.J., Susan and Alison on their savings adventures. 
Alicia Starkville, MS Age 26 Bio: I'm a college graduate with no debt! I took an office job to pay off my student loans and have been slowly saving for no particular goal other than to have a savings. My husband is pursuing a PhD, so as of right now I am the breadwinner, and English majors were never meant to be breadwinners.
