I'm not a financial advisor. I'm just someone who's been broke, tried a lot of stuff, and want to share what actually helped. Everything here is based on my experience and research, not credentials.
Nothing here is guaranteed. What works for me might not work for you. Every person's situation is different. Before signing up for anything, do your own research and make sure it's right for your life.
I'm just here to help. If you find something useful, great. If not, no pressure. I hope you find what you need.
