For this web and TV publication, I wrote regular personal finance news stories and consumer advice columns to save people money, time, and hassle.My stories were often featured on MSN, Yahoo!, Business Insider, Christian Science Monitor, and elsewhere. I did a few radio interviews for my work. Fun stuff.
