Why I Write About Money

Growing up, I realized that financial education was something most young people never received. We learned algebra and history, but no one taught us how to manage money, understand compound interest, or build wealth.

After years of studying the principles of successful investors—especially the legendary Warren Buffett—I became passionate about making this knowledge accessible to teenagers before they make their first financial mistakes.

My mission is simple: to give every young person the financial foundation they need to build a prosperous future.

Financial Literacy is a Life Skill

I believe that understanding money isn't about getting rich—it's about having choices. When you understand how money works, you can make decisions that align with your values and goals.

Warren Buffett didn't become successful because he took wild risks. He succeeded because he understood fundamental principles and applied them consistently over time. These same principles can work for anyone, at any age.

That's why I write for teenagers. The earlier you start, the more powerful these principles become.

"The best investment you can make is in yourself."

— Warren Buffett
