History
I first offered to do Brunch & Budgets for my friends waaaay back in January 2012. This whole thing started off as a way to help my friends with their finances and I could have never, ever imagined that I would have the privilege to turn this into a business helping people with their financial lives. I dug up the old email and want to share the last paragraph of it because it's as true today as it was 6 years ago: I LOVE talking about this stuff, so if you hate talking about this stuff, hopefully I'll rub off on you, just a little. Or at least one of us in the room will be happy. Seriously though, I think we've all spent enough time getting screwed over by the financial system and part of the reason why I love to talk about this stuff is because, corny as it sounds, knowledge really is power, especially when it comes to money. It's not going to be easy, but I promise you, it's going to be worth it.
