About the Author
Hi, I’m Evan Louise Madriñan—an avid reader, curious learner, and writer. My writing journey started as a finance and investment blogger, crafting blogs on my website since 2020. While I may not boast a laundry list of credentials, what I do possess is a deep love for storytelling and a genuine desire to share knowledge and ideas with others.
My mission is to show you that even as an average employee, you and I can learn to master our own money and achieve the life we want for ourselves and our families.
Everyone has a story worth telling, insights worth sharing to enrich others’ lives, and knowledge that should be accessible to all, regardless of one’s formal qualifications, level of intellect, age, or social status.
