About J. Collins
Currently, I spend my days as a financial writer and enthusiast, sharing insights on personal finance to help others navigate their own paths to wealth. But my life wasn't always centered around finance.
As a youngster, my first foray into the working world was mowing lawns in my neighborhood for a few bucks. Not long after, I graduated to a newspaper delivery route, taming the dawn with my trusty bicycle.
Over the years, I dabbled in various jobs, starting as a sales associate at a bustling retail store, and later trying my hand as a barista, where I learned the fine art of making the perfect cappuccino. From there, I went on to become a customer service rep, honing my patience and communication skills, before diving into roles like event coordinator, project manager, and freelance writer.
My career journey has taken me through the hustle and bustle of city life, with meaningful detours to serene small towns. Along the way, I've managed to explore incredible places around the globe, from the serene landscapes of New Zealand to the vibrant streets of Barcelona.
My education in Creative Writing from a state university has been a cornerstone of my ability to tell compelling stories that resonate with readers. While my alma mater occasionally contacts me for updates, perhaps in hopes of exciting achievements, I'm forging my own definition of success every day.
Here's a favorite quote of mine: "Not all those who wander are lost." It perfectly captures the essence of my journey, both personally and professionally.
In my personal life, I've been fortunate to have a partner who shares my love for adventure and exploration. Together, we've built a family and a life we cherish, one filled with laughter, love, and the occasional spontaneous road trip.
Through my writing, I aim to demystify the world of finance, making it accessible to anyone eager to learn. My greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that my work empowers others to take charge of their financial futures.
