My videos
I create videos with the intention of helping everyday wealth-builders be successful with money. From getting out of debt, budgeting, investing for the long-term, or even how to build a better mindset around money, my goal for each video is that you can take action with what you learn.
I started on YouTube about two years ago because I was excited about creating educational content as a hobby after reaching financial independence. Since then, the Money Monk channel has earned around 18K subscribers and growing.
