I’ve succeeded as a freelance personal finance writer because I acknowledge what many financial writers and financial experts don’t: Achieving financial independence isn’t about dollars and cents, or financial literacy. Whether the goal is to start investing, saving for retirement, or building wealth, financial advice must inspire action.
I write personal finance articles on topics like retirement, investing, tax planning, charitable giving and building wealth for Forbes, Money, USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Fifth Third Wealth Management, Prudential, Wells Fargo Advisors, Thrivent Advisors, FTB Advisors, Discover, Mint, Acorns, LearnVest, Society of Grown Ups, Refinery 29, Goal Investor–to name a few.
