Vik Varma

Passionate About...
Budgeting Investing Taxes

Hello from Colorado! My background is in engineering and technology, but I’ve had a passion for finance ever since I opened my first IRA at 14 years old! I have a wealth of financial knowledge built up over the last 30+ years, and I love sharing it with other people. I want to help people take control of their own financial lives and help them understand economics and how money truly works. Outside of talking about finance, I love to travel and explore the world, whether that is on a cruise to another country or simply a hike in my backyard.

Get to Know Vik

What is a social cause you feel passionately about, and why is it meaningful to you? Financial Literacy. It is ridiculous that we tell people to take control of their finances, but then never give them the education to actually do it.
What is a book or film that changed your life? The Star Trek TV series. It opened my eyes to a world of technology and engineering, which I eventually made my career.
What is something unique you'd like us to know about you? My family and I were on the second cruise ship quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020.
