Welcome to Money Under 30, I’m David

I created this website when I was 25 and struggling to get on my feet financially. Since then, I’ve helped millions of readers pay off debt, save money and start investing. My work has been featured in places like The New York Times, The Washington Post and NPR. Click here to learn more about my story.

My favorite articles cover establishing (or re-establishing) your financial foundation: Managing credit, budgeting and saving, and long-term investing. Click here to explore my best advice from over the years.

For years, product recommendations were a big part of this site. I’ll be focusing less on reviews and “best ofs” going forward, but you can get my personal financial product and service recommendations here.
