Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

My name is Sam Dogen, founder of Financial Samurai. Financial Samurai is one of the largest independently-owned personal finance sites with about 1 million organic visitors a month. Everything I write and publish is based on firsthand experience because money is too important to be left up to pontification.

Everything you read on Financial Samurai is free to help the maximum number of people achieve financial independence sooner, rather than later. However, I do make advertising revenue and have partnerships with products I work with on my Top Financial Products page. Further, I wrote an eBook entitled, How To Engineer Your Layoff: Negotiate A Severance And Be Free, that does very well.

After working in finance for 13 years, I decided to focus full-time on Financial Samurai in 2012. The site is 100% more fun to work on and takes 90% less time than working in banking. Financial Samurai generates well over $10,000 a month in passive advertising revenue.
