My name is Brandon and I struggled with money for years and made many financial mistakes. I’ll share these in an open, instructive, and fun way. I believe that experience is cheap if you’re smart enough to get it secondhand, so let me pay your tab on a few sessions at the school of hard knocks so you don’t have to.
No Silver Spoons Here
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I’m guessing maybe neither were you. I did learn how to take care of myself and work hard, but I struggled to figure out how to make good choices with money. Now I’m on a mission to help people win with money. I started Start100K out of a burning desire to help others.
Regular People & Real Dreams
Start100K is for hard-working people like you – regular people with real dreams. I know you’re willing to work hard to make your American dream a reality. I also know that’s easier said than done. I’m here to help you take control of your financial life once and for good.
I Can’t Promise Happiness, but I’ll Sure Try!
Money isn’t a silver bullet for happiness, but learning to maximize your earning potential, avoiding financial pitfalls, and understanding basic financial concepts will change your life for the better. At first, I didn’t know what a stock or bond was (don’t worry if you don’t either). I definitely didn’t understand how “the market” worked. Now, I’m not scared of it anymore. The more I learn, the more I can use financial tools to my family’s benefit.
Love and Empathy – Not Guilt and Shame
Here, you’ll find financial education and motivation delivered with love and empathy, not guilt and shame. Start100K will help illustrate confusing concepts in a simple and accessible way. Don’t feel afraid of not knowing, I didn’t either at first.
Paying Rent With a Credit Card to Buying Cars With a Debit Card
I remember paying rent on a credit card. I hope to keep as many people as I can from feeling that same stress. Later, we were able to buy our family van with the swipe of a debit card. It only took a few years (and some hard work) to get there. If you’re feeling stressed, don’t worry, it can get better. There’s likely not a magic wand to fix what’s going on, but there is a path forward and I’m here to help.
