MY WHY
Money Talks—But Nobody Taught You the Language
I’m Jared Gagne, a Financial Planner at a small firm in Boston, MA.
This publication is a culmination of my thoughts and insights. Alongside sharing these ideas, I want to use this channel to help narrow the gap in financial education. I've dedicated my life to learning as much as possible about personal finance to better serve the families I work with.
While I can't help everyone directly, I believe there is a significant opportunity to do good by sharing my knowledge with a broader audience—and this platform feels like an effective way to do so.
Financial planning covers a large number of topics, but there are core principles that drive the most meaningful results. If you understand these principles and have a solid grasp of how your personal finances operate, this will create better financial outcomes.
Why personal finance isn't taught in school is beyond me. My hope is that by producing educational content, I can help bridge the financial education gap and empower people to make better financial decisions.
The core principles of personal financial planning revolve around these key areas:
Budgeting
Investing
Taxes
Estate Planning
Follow along—there's plenty to learn, and it can have a lasting, positive impact on your life.
