About Linda at Stock Market Gal
Hello! I’m Linda Davis and I want to tell you a little about myself. I am a mother to 4 children and grandmother to 5+ grandchildren. As an Air Force brat, I have lived all over the US and spent a good chunk of my childhood in Germany. I always had a love of math and was intending to pursue that in college until I picked up the flute in my senior year of high school and music became my passion from then on.
I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom while my children were small. I took care of all the home finances: paying bills and making and (trying to) keep a budget for a family of 6. I even dabbled in real estate, buying a house for our own kids to live during their college years as well as renting out rooms to other students.

While my kids were little, I ran a private music studio teaching piano and flute lessons to make some extra income. After teaching privately at home, I jumped part time into the public school system when my youngest was in preschool and then became a full time music teacher when she started 1st grade. I currently teach full time in the Dallas Texas area.
As you can see, I have no degrees in finance or business. Just some personal experience in stock trading and self education. I am divorced after 33 years of marriage and am trying to figure out how to manage my share of the division of assets. Since I waited to jump in as a full time teacher to raise our children, my teacher retirement pension is relatively small, and I will be splitting most of it with my former husband. So it’s imperative that I make the best choices with my money.
