Our Story

Jon Dulin founded Money Smart Guides back in 2011 with the simple goal of helping people improve their finances. During this time, he discovered that many people struggle with the basics of finance and not understanding it is a lifelong journey. Once you pay off debt, the journey is not over. It’s simply the end of a chapter and the next chapter is jut beginning.

Since its founding, Money Smart Guides has grown into one of largest online centers for people to learn about money.

I didn’t realize I had a negative money mindset until I read about the differences between the wealthy and poor. I started to implement some of the ideas and am seeing s positive change in both my finances and happiness.

Kevin M., Florida

I avoided investing because I didn’t understand it. Luckily I found this site that explained it to me in a way like never before. I slowly started to invest and over the years, have built a small nest egg. While I’m not rich, I finally have hope I can retire one day.
