ABOUT THE FOUNDER AND AUTHOR

She believes that matters of the home are also matters of the heart and wants to help as many individuals and families as possible with a solid educational foundation to help build a successful home and financial future.
"I believe that everyone should have access to the most accurate information and advice when it comes to matters of finances and housing. There is a lot of misinformation, fraud and greed out there. I am on a personal mission to set the record straight and make finances a priority for all families, starting with our children.The best way I know how to reach people, is to write. Financial & Housing Literacy need to become a focal point of discussion in this country. If we lose sight of this, we will continue to fall behind in the world, and see increasing poverty, despair and economic woes. It all starts at home, and it all starts with you. Thanks for reading and sharing." -Alanna Brown
