Hi Millennials! My name is Sheldon Martin and the name of my website is Moneythemillennialway.com. I will be using this platform to help Millennials and other generations understand how to minimize your debt by, understanding and leveraging credit to create assets, investing, utilizing personal finance, gaining knowledge about retirement, and to overall gain financial literacy and eventually become financially free like I have. In under two short years, I paid off $20,000 in student loans that I had to borrow in order to pay off my MBA while also saving more than $50,000. YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY, FINANCIALLY FREE BABYYY!! Through education and sharing different strategies, you can too, pay off more debt and be on your way to financial freedom.
I was born and raised in San Diego, CA and stayed busy playing sports and being a part of different programs and activities growing up. After continuing my athletic career, I received a scholarship to play football on the NCAA level. After graduating from undergrad, I later received a Master of Business Administration in the summer of 2016 as a 22-year-old young adult.
My passion for finance started as a young child. At the age of 8, my grandmother opened me a savings account and we made an agreement that she would match $1 for $1. This is the point where I started to understand the benefits of saving and earning interest on the funds that I invested. As I got older and continued my education, I noticed that I was not able to have educated conversations about personal finance or entry-level investing with just about anyone my age. Many times, adults that have been in the workforce for 10 years or more would have a hard time having a conversation about investing and how to make their money grow. The times I do come across someone that wants to invest their money, they don’t know how to start, where to go, and what options they have. This often results in individuals giving up on investing because of their lack of knowledge in the field. This causes that action to never be performed.
After realizing this information, I started to dedicate most of my time spending countless hours educating myself by reading books, investing in different markets, attending many webinars and on sight educational sessions to further my knowledge in different aspects of finance such as credit, investing, retirement, and personal finance.
Although the name of my website is Moneythemillennialway.com, this can help and benefit anyone trying to gain a better understanding of the different ways you are able to gain financial freedom. After gaining endless knowledge about finance and managing a successful portfolio that beats the market year after year, I am dedicating my time to helping you all obtain financial freedom by maximizing your knowledge base to make educated and sound decisions to make your money grow and work for itself. I will do this by educating you all on different strategies, methods, and techniques.
