MyWisdomWallet Mission & Client Vision
We were not born with a silver spoon in our mouths. No trust fund or anything like that. Nor were we systematically trained in personal finance. I suspect our parents assumed we’d “catch” the wisdom they’d learned from their own “school of hard knocks.” Instead, we had to learn from that same cruel slave master, the “school of hard knocks,” ourselves. We say it’s time to break that pattern!
That’s why we created MyWalletWisdom… to spare you, our readers, from having to go through your own school of hard knocks. And to share financial success and money smarts strategies that enable you to achieve your dreams and goals faster than we did, get your dream life on sooner, and enjoy the people and experiences you love.
Our Mission
The MyWalletWisdom mission is to spare you many of the stupid financial mistakes we made and empower you with financial knowledge… so you can retire early (if you want to) with the lifestyle you desire and the freedom you crave.
No one learns these money smarts in school… nor early in life when they give you the most bang for your buck. Our mission is to change that paradigm and revolutionize your life.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see you be wildly successful managing your money so you can achieve your lifestyle goals. Even if you’re starting out deeply in debt. And even if you don’t have a “CPA” behind your name.
We see a better life ahead for you, when you’re equipped with life-changing financial smarts that can make your most important dreams come true.
Our Values
MyWalletWisdom is intentionally NOT one-size-fits-all personal finance advice. Why should it be? You’re unique, with your own set of dreams, challenges, and priorities.
Also, personal finance is not rocket science. And those who act like it is may have a hidden agenda. We present money smarts info that’s easy to understand so you can act on your new money smarts immediately.
Stick with MyWalletWisdom and you won’t become a statistic.
