In Jacob’s own words

An expert in teaching others how to budget, save money, pay off debt, invest and take advantage of credit card rewards, I love to help others find the best ways to manage their money.

In 2018, I quit my job and my family decided to sell everything (including our home) to take off on an adventure. We traveled the country in an RV for nearly 3 years, visiting over 38 states, 20+ national parks and eventually settling in the Gulf Coast of Florida.
