Welcome to Student Loan CPA.com.  This website is exclusively for members of the student loan generation.  If you are one of those people, you know that money isn’t what you thought it was!

The purpose of this website is to help you think about money in a way that allows you to pursue your dream life.  It is about how to earn, save, spend, and invest your money to create the right kind of wealth - yes, even if you have hundreds of thousands in debt.  Whether your ambition is to become a CEO, business owner, professional, or a stay-at-home parent, you’ll need the right knowledge and mindset or money will continue to stand in your way.

Articles here reflect a long-term, strategic view.  This means more discussion of how to pick a great career, and less about which careers pay the most; more articles about how to decide where to spend your money, and less on clipping coupons; more articles about when you shouldn’t put money in a 401K and less about how employer matches are “free money” you must accept at all costs.  My writing is meant to provoke thought, so it almost always goes against everything you have been taught.  Remember: very few people get rich by following conventional wisdom about money or doing what television shows say.  To beat a large amount of debt, you will need to to do what people do to get rich.  

Over time, this website will also contain personal blogs as I cover my experiences in my career and in my life.  I already use myself as an example for many articles, but you will also see how I go from graduating college deep in debt, to digging myself out of it.  It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen soon.  How soon is soon?  I’m not telling.
