How Wealth Pilgrim Is Different From Any Other Blog

There are 4 ways this blog will help you improve financial situations very quickly:

1. Like other personal finance blogs, I  write about my personal experience, but I also write about the experiences of the hundreds of other people I’ve worked with over the last 25 years. I’ve seen investment strategies that work and I’ve also seen what doesn’t work.
2. I’m a professional and a practicing Certified Financial Planner, but I’m not writing this blog to get you to hire me.   I’m committed to keeping this blog impartial and educational.
3. I believe that most of us, regardless of net worth, have a strained relationship with money.  We either worship it or ignore it.  Few people are “right sized” when it comes to money.   My experience tells me  that financial problems can be a lot like addiction: They’re created by a set of habitual behaviors that can run — and ruin — your life.  Even if you are not a money addict, I think most everybody could have a healthier relationship with money.
4. This blog will discuss how to implement a “recovery” plan for your finances.  This plan will arm you with the knowledge you need to make better financial decisions.  Over time we’ll talk about everything from mutual funds to community property laws.  And you’ll also learn about ways to make more money.  Finally, we’ll discover better ways to think about money and how those attitudes influence your financial outcomes.

You may have already read the popular books by well-known financial writers (people like Suze Orman and David Bach) and found yourself frustrated. Their core message is straightforward, even simple: Earn more than you spend and invest the rest. And that’s SOLID advice. Indisputable. On the money. But if you’re in a predicament financially, the glaring simplicity of it raises deeper, more difficult questions:

“Why can’t I do that?” and “What do I need to do to make it so that I can?”

Let me help you answer these questions, giving you practical wisdom along with the foundational steps for achieving financial recovery.

That’s what Wealth Pilgrim is about.
