Team & Contributors

Millennial Money is run by an incredible team dedicated to making money less stressful and financial freedom available to all.

Our mission is that everyone should have access to high-quality financial guidance no matter how much money they have, what they look like, or where they came from.

Money isn’t complicated, but there’s often conflicting advice on what you should do, and many people who are so-called “personal finance experts” or “money experts” are just trying to make money off you. That’s not us.

While we do sometimes get compensated when you click and sign up for a service, it’s at no cost to you. We are always honest in our reviews and only recommend products we use ourselves or that we believe are the best in class.
