Hi, everyone! My name is Sean and I’m the founder of RichesandReason.com. I started Riches & Reason to help people understand their finances and grow their wealth. Full disclaimer, I’m not a certified financial planner. I’m just a regular guy who taught himself how to effectively pay off debt and grow wealth. I hope to openly and honestly shed some light on a topic that can be daunting and difficult to talk about.
My Story
I grew up in a stereotypical middle-class household. Financially, we weren’t much different than the majority of America. It wasn’t until after I graduated college with a marketing degree and $44,000 in student loan debt that I realized my financial habits were not very conducive to effective wealth-building.
After a year and a half of post-undergraduate floundering, I landed my first marketing job for $32k/year. At that point, I had a steady income (as modest as it was) and I needed to learn how to make it work for me. Fast forward four years later, and my net worth is positive and growing.
My Mission
My personal goal is to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible. I’ve learned a lot on this personal finance journey so far, and I want to use this website as a vault for the knowledge I gain along the way. I hope these concepts inspire you to invest in your future and take your finances seriously. If you have any personal finance questions or comments, leave them in the comments section.
