Who Am I?
My name is Chris A! I was born in Chicago, IL and currently reside in Columbia, MO! I make several figures a year consulting individuals and various audiences on how people should really approach their finances.
I have been doing instructing personal finances since 2015 and started this blog since 2018!
On this blog, you will learn financial knowledge and education that will help you think and solve problems for any financial predicament you find yourself in!
What True Personal Finance Is All About!
Personal Finance is a loaded phrase these days! You have so many people who are doing FIRE, Saving, Investing, etc in order to get their money together and no longer have to work! That is an incorrect belief!
Being Financial Disciplined doesn’t require you to have a Financial Doctorate! All you would need to do, like me, is to build your financial foundation from the ground up!
My Financial Background Before My Financial Stability…
My parents came from Africa, from the western region of the continent to be exact! I grew up with divorced parents and raised mostly by a single mother in a poor household! I remember time and time again the utilities would get cut off rather that is gasoline, water, and electricity!
Although my parents both graduated from college, my dad with an associate’s degree (3.7 gpa) and my mom with a bachelors (3.3 gpa), they both were incapable of increasing their income and Quality of Life! Even though they both pushed me into college and university, I saw first hand the limits Academic Achievement may have in acquiring benefits that most people would enjoy! I would even begin to realize the importance of truly controlling your finance and learning the subject to not only help myself, but others!
So I decided to consult people on Financial Intelligence and eventually write a book! I knew that if I couldn’t make a living with a job into my elderly years, I would need to become a professional and develop my financial intelligence to make a living for now and my elderly years!
