I love retrospective posts, when someone turns 40 and shares what they wish they knew at 20 or 30, and today’s post is one of those. Aaron of Mr. Stingy turns 40 and shares what he wished he knew at 30.

Who Are We?

Jim Wang was born and raised in New York and founded Wallet Hacks in 2015 and Bargaineering in 2004. As a long-time fan of the personal finance community, he felt the absence of a strong content curation service and sought to build Apex Money to fill that void.

J.D. Roth was born and raised in Oregon and founded Get Rich Slowly in 2006. JD loves to write, and it shines in his work on Get Rich Slowly, but he also loves to read. As the chief content curator of Apex Money, it’s this love that shines through in the content we share.
