Personal finance for people earning good money and building a life
Manage your own money.
You don't need to make it a full-time job.
You make good money. But buying a house, paying for childcare, and figuring out what to invest can still feel like a lot. I break down the numbers so you can understand your options and make the call yourself.
Former financial advisor. Dad of two. Making these decisions too.
Sound familiar?
The questions my friends keep asking.
Smart people with good jobs ask me this stuff all the time. Nobody explained it to them. That's why I started Finance Dad. These are the conversations we'll have here.

How the Wealthy Actually Do It
Does having more money make this more complicated?

I want you to come away thinking, “I can do this.”
I spent four years at UBS advising wealthy families. Now I'm in my mid-30s, with two young kids, a mortgage, and the same decisions a lot of you are making.
I don't use a financial advisor. I think a lot more people could manage their own money if someone took the time to explain it in a way that made sense.
That's what I'm trying to do here. Show you the math, explain what matters, and help you get comfortable making your own decisions.
How I got hereLet's work through it.
I'm working on the first articles. In the meantime, you can read a little more about me and how I think about money.
