About 

I learned about money working for people much wealthier than me. After graduating college with a marketing degree, I landed in the SF venture scene and worked my way into financial services for the ultra-wealthy. Being around so much money with a near-empty bank account made me realize I had to sharpen up. I started asking questions and leaned on what I’m good at: research. 

Over five years, I made financial decisions by talking to my rich friends, searching online, and through trial and error. As I documented what I learned, I realized these findings weren’t complicated and could have been taught to me much earlier. In fact, they should have been taught to me when I was still in school. 

My goal for this website is to help those who, like me, weren’t taught personal finance skills growing up. Whether you’re still in school or years past it, you can apply the lessons on this site to get your finances on track. I put the best of what I’ve learned – and the sources I learned from – into the content I wish I had when I was just getting started. 

If you have questions or suggestions for improving the site, shoot me an email at [email protected]. 

Best of luck,

Josh Manley
