WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com was launched on July 23rd, 2007. I was a stockbroker and financial planner working for one of the big bank-owned brokerages back then. Now I work for an index fund manufacturer and have a development deal on the table for a TV show with the W Network. What a journey it has been so far…

The original goal was to write about anything to do with money that would educate, empower or entertain people. It remains the prime directive for this blog today.

By popular demand, I am including a master archive which catalogues all the posts I have ever written on this blog. You can also use the search function (located on the top right of the page) to look for specific topics to read about.
