On board the pod today is JMoney from Budgets are Sexy. JMoney is probably one of the most recognizable names, or should that be Mohawks in the fire community. After a somewhat impulsive purchase of a home in his early twenties, J became focused on improving his finances and became inspired by what he read online, causing him to start what eventually came to be the incredibly popular blog, Budgets are Sexy. J became a millionaire in just 10 short years reaching financial independence before the age of 40 and reaching over 30 million readers along the way. As a result, Jay has won many awards, including 12 Industry Plutus awards, including 2012 Financial Blogger of the Year and the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jay is also no stranger to online businesses having built, acquired, worked on, or sold dozens of websites over the past 15 years.
Projects J has worked on include his namesake blog Budgets are Sexy, as well as other popular sites such as Rockstar Finance and CoinThrill. JMoney acts as an advisor to the Plutus Foundation, consults for several fintechs, mentors and coaches other bloggers, and, even brokers, and coordinates online business sellouts.
I suppose J and I share a few things in common. We both have ADHD, a passion for money and enjoy dabbling in some online businesses in semi-retirement.
So jump on board, JMoney is full of energy and we had such a fun chat!
