Why I Started Moneysplain

Hi, I’m Mike, a father of three and the writer behind Moneysplain. Many teens and young adults feel intimidated by money, and I’ve seen how much of a difference even a little knowledge can make. I’m passionate about financial education and helping people make choices that steer them away from debt and consumption and toward saving, building wealth, and achieving long-term stability.

Regular learning, even in small doses, leads to better decisions and outcomes—more savings, less debt, more flexibility, and less anxiety around finances.
