Hi, been interesting to read everyone’s introductions above and learn a bit more about the people using and behind Emma.

So here goes my little intro,
My name’s Nat,
Background about me would be that I’m just finishing up working at a UK bank, which was both digital and customer facing, to begin my MA in finance beginning September.

Looking forward to seeing how I’ll change my use of Emma with a termly income rather than the monthly income I’ve been used to.

Outside of this I’m massively into American Football (Go Pack Go), travelling & exploring new places

Heeey Stefano! Welcome to the Emma Community :raised_hands:

If you could only eat one kind of pizza for the rest of your life… what would it be?

154

That’s a tough question :smiley: Having one with all the toppings would be great :smiley: At least I may remove some of them and still change every time. It isn’t cheating, is it?
For sure We can avoid Pinapple though. :smiley:

155

Hahah that is totally cheating :joy:But that would be an epic pizza!

I have a confession to make… I love a pineapple pizza :flushed:(bad I know)

Hi

I’m Glyn. Just recently joined and loving the app!!

I’m retired but always had a thing about managing my finances - must be from my time as an engineer and using spreadsheets.

Love to travel but mainly to colder climates although had to put a hold on that at the moment. For my sins I like to follow Manchester United and can even claim to have been born in Manchester

Hey Glyn!!

Love to hear this! :raised_hands:

Laughing that you had to describe this as a sin…

Manchester United was the first football team I “followed” (although I didn’t really follow them, I think I just wanted the Beckham 7 shirt :see_no_evil:)

Hopefully you got the shirt? My retirement present to myself was a season ticket although not really able to make use of it at the monent

:wave: hello! It’s pretty cute how you’re making this into a community.

I’m Julian, another London based software engineer, also another keen traveler: I have lived in France, Germany, Italy, Bristol (that very foreign country…) and recently moved to London after spending all of my savings travelling around South East Asia for 6 months. My new found love is spicy food :hot_pepper::fire: so feel free to recommend any of your favourite restaurants in the city! :innocent:

Savings have often just been a fluke for me (I’m very bad with money) but I’m now making an active effort towards saving for the future. I once tried to build my own budgeting app, but as you can tell that didn’t go so well! I’m loving the Emma app so far, as well as the customer service - I hope it continues!
