A book or film that changed my life is...

``Your Money Or Your Life`` by Vicki Robin and Joseph Dominguez is a great book that goes beyond the technical aspects of personal finance to think about the 'why' of money.

A social cause I care about is...

Ensuring that everyone in America has access to quality financial education and advice!

A unique thing about me is...

I have a lot of experience traveling on a tight budget and love to share and hear tips from others!
