Personal Finance Experience
Taylor's interest in personal finance began shortly after she graduated from college and was faced with the reality of her student loans. In an effort to create a better financial future for herself, she dove headfirst into the world of personal finance and started learning as much as possible.
What started as a personal passion has since grown into a career as a personal finance writer and educator.
