Personal Finance Experience
Cassidy has researched and written more than 1,000 articles on banking, loans, debt, and more. She first became interested in the personal finance industry after paying off $18,000 in debt within 10 months of graduating college.
Cassidy later went on to triple her salary in two years by ditching her eight-to-five job to write for a living. Today, she runs her own copywriting business and a finance website for freelancers.
