From childhood, I’ve been captivated by the world of money and investing. Growing up in a blue-collar family, my father instilled in me a strong work ethic, while my mother passed down her zest for life and unwavering positivity. Although I dreamed of becoming a stockbroker, my career path led me into the corporate world as a tax professional.
Despite my day job’s focus, my passion has always been personal finance and helping others achieve financial freedom. I met my better half early in life, and we started a family when we were very young – teenage parents, in fact. Balancing work, family, and finances was challenging, but we were diligent about saving for retirement and avoiding debt from the start. These choices have paid off, setting us on a path towards early financial independence.
My journey included taking night classes while working full-time, but we remained dedicated to our financial goals. Now, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned to help others, especially young people, see how saving and investing early can transform their lives. Even without a huge income, consistent saving and investing can make you a millionaire over time.
