I have been writing about money for over 15 years and recently at WalletHacks.com. I graduated in 2003 from Carnegie Mellon University with a Masters in Software Engineering and I use my analytical skills to navigate the financial world. It's through this education that I try to distill complex financial ideas into simple steps regular folks can use to take control of their money and build wealth.
