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 know how much of a difference even a little knowledge can make. I’m passionate about financial education and my goal is to help teens and young adults 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.
