6+ years at NerdWallet and The Penny Hoarder

About

Jamie Reeves paid off $78,000 in student loans on a $52,000 salary — an experience that turned them into a personal finance obsessive. After six years at NerdWallet and The Penny Hoarder, Jamie went independent because they got tired of financial content that treats money like an abstraction. Jamie writes about money the way real people experience it: stressful, emotional, and full of trade-offs that spreadsheets don't capture. Every article shows the math AND the feelings, because financial decisions are never purely rational.
