Background:

I have a lifelong passion for personal finances. I still remember opening my first bank account in second grade and being handed the little paper bank book where the teller would record my transactions. My dad explained the concept of earning interest to me and it seemed like a magical thing. I was hooked. However, I went in a different direction when I entered the professional world.  I received a Master’s degree in psychology and started my career as a corporate trainer/instructional designer. As I worked my way up the corporate ladder I found out that I loved working with budgets as much as I loved teaching people.
