•I’m not a finance professional or an economist — and that’s exactly why I write.
I’m an easily overwhelmed lay person trying to make sense of markets, money, and the economy. What I aim to provide is that same lay person’s perspective on complex financial and economic stories.
My goal is to empathize with — and relate to — the many readers who feel that every time they read the news, everyone seems to understand what’s happening… except them.
By writing about these topics and asking the questions that feel “too basic,” I try to translate financial news for people like me.
If something in the world of money feels confusing, intimidating, or overly technical, I will probably write about it.
And I always welcome readers who know more than I do to correct me, challenge me, and teach me in the comments.
