From the editor
I’m an American accounting student on the CPA track with a passion for investing and for understanding how the financial markets work. I started this site because I was tired of searching through twenty different websites just to find information that was actually relevant to me. I wanted one place where it all made sense.
I share my own results in the spirit of transparency, not as a promise: as of October 2026, my personal portfolio’s five-year cumulative pre-tax return is +326.39%, compared with +80.13% for the S&P 500 over the same period.
I also know where I stand. I’m young and still early in my investing career, so I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t have the experience of a seasoned veteran. I love learning, though, and I bring the drive and dedication to keep doing it.
My goal is for this site to be a resource for anyone who wants to understand money and take more control of their own finances. I’d love for you to join me on this journey and help increase knowledge equity in personal finance and investing.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Please do your own research or speak with a licensed professional before making financial decisions.

A note from Learn to Love Money
We started Learn to Love Money out of frustration with jargon and clutter, to help everyday people cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. The free content gives you exactly that. Upgrading will extend it with deeper research, more courses and tools, and one-on-one support.
Premium
Every blog, course, and tool
Platinum
Hands-on, one-on-one
Questions, answered
Instant access to the free blog posts, select free courses, and the Investor Type Quiz, plus our new posts and tools in your inbox.
Premium unlocks every blog, course, and tool, including subscriber-only posts. Platinum adds hands-on support: one-on-one mentoring and full portfolio reviews. Both are coming soon.
The free content will always be there. Paid plans fund the deeper research and tools that take much more time to build, so we can keep making all of it.
Only when there is something worth reading, such as a new post, course, or tool. No daily noise and no spam.
No. Everything on Learn to Love Money is for educational purposes only. It is not personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.
Yes. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can leave whenever you like. Paid plans will be cancellable anytime too.
