I help people get out of debt, start investing, and reach their financial goals.
A few quick points about me:
*I got into $10K of credit card debt while in college and in the years after graduating. I dug myself out by getting real with myself about my depression and low self-esteem.
*I blew $30K foolishly modifying a car because I thought it was a cool thing to do.
*I bought a house at the peak of the housing bubble and ended up selling for a loss of $25,000. In fact, my lender went bankrupt on the day I was to close. My realtor found another lender and I closed a week later.
*My wife and I grew our net worth to over $700K by saving and investing consistently (even in down markets).
*My wife and I are planning to retire early with our goal by age 50.
*I helped the 1% reach their financial goals working for a high net worth financial planner.
*I've worked in the financial services industry for over 15 years and have been blogging for 10 years.
*I currently reside outside Philadelphia, Pa.
