History

I’m David; I started Money Under 30 in 2006 to blog about my personal experiences juggling meager entry-level pay with a ton of student loan and credit card debt…all the while trying to enjoy my twenties.

I didn’t always manage my money well. I learned many lessons the hard way, and others on my first job at SmartMoney magazine. I feel blessed to have learned the dangers of debt and the importance of saving so early. Now, my mission in publishing MoneyUnder30.com is to help other young adults to do the same.

MoneyUnder30.com is growing rapidly. Today, we’re expanding from a one-man blog to a multifaceted Website featuring hundreds of articles and tools to help you take charge of your financial life and find the right financial products when you need them.
