About the author:

       My name is Paul Williams, and I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I have a passion for teaching people about personal finance, especially from a Christian perspective, and see this website as one way to pursue that passion. Even though I received a degree in financial planning from Virginia Tech, I am still human and I am just as susceptible to mistakes as any other person. Also, please remember that the advice in the articles on this website may not apply to you in your specific financial situation. I hope to use this website as a way to personally discover God’s views on personal finance and help others do the same.
