Dear Do-it-Yourselfer, Are you frustrated with the financial education that’s out there?

Long, boring books and whitepapers too general be useful. Videos or newsletters that make personal finance seem like rocket science. So-called free classes at the library followed up by endless sales pitches.

I don’t hold back education, so you have to come back and buy stuff from me. Whether you are just getting started or about to retire, I have a class to help you progress to the financial future you deserve.
