About Me — Matt McDonough

Hello! I am a CPA by day, writer by night, and adventurer on the weekends. I’m on the lookout for fun ideas to read, please send anything interesting my way!

I am proud of my 160-character summary, but I have so much more to say.

What am I Doing on Medium?

I am writing due to my frustrations with the world of personal finance. Personal finance became a passion for me post-college. I soaked in books, watched videos, and eventually learned my way from survival mode to my comfort zone.

However, my young adult life could have gone much smoother if I received some formal personal finance education.

I picked up a writing habit during the Covid-19 pandemic and struggled to find an avenue to express my thoughts. I considered creating a website to make my mark on the world wide web, but that is currently too technologically advanced for a simpleton like myself (hopefully there are updates to come in the near future).

Then I poked around Google, found Medium, and have not turned back. I enjoy reading other posts as much as writing on the site, so please pass along any exciting writers or publications to follow!
