Hello, I’m Jared Dillian.

I help investors make sense of the markets, and I help everyone else make sense of their finances.

My mission is simple: help you think smarter and stress less about money and investing.

And I do it in a way that’s entertaining and a joy to read.

I grew up kind of poor, so I know what it’s like. It stinks.

But it only takes a few decisions to radically upgrade your financial life.

The secret lies in adopting the right attitude about money and getting a small number of big things—the most important decisions—absolutely right.

Once that happens, your stress disappears and your money grows.

About half of my readers are professional investors and money managers, the other half are people who are looking to get out of debt, save for retirement, and take control of their finances.

If that sounds like you, then you’re going to love every minute of the Jared Dillian Letter.
