About Our Founder

Robert Farrington

Robert Farrington, America's Millennial Money Expert®

Since I can remember, I've had a passion for investing and all things related to personal finance. Throughout my teens, I focused on ways to make money: I sold stuff on eBay, I took on freelance writing, and more. I used my earnings to save, invest, and pay off my student loans in 3 years.

I started this website to showcase common sense student loan and investing strategies. Student loan debt is the #1 dilemma holding back young Americans from investing and building wealth. 

Through my years of helping others, I've come too the conclusion that developing multiple income streams - investing, side hustling, and entrepreneurship - is the key to building wealth.
