Founder & Writer

Hi, I'm Jesse, but you can call me Jes for short (that's what my mates call me). I'm just your average Aussie guy passionate about making the world of investing easily understood by removing the ‘too hard basket’ stigma that surrounds it. That's why I started The Money Pal. My investing journey kicked off in 2015, after I picked up a copy of ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ from my Dad’s old bookshelf. As Mr. Kiyosaki says, “Rich people acquire assets.” So as any impressionable 19 year old who only knew that assets were good and liabilities were bad would do, I listened to a mate who mentioned that ASX:SGH had nosedived from $8 to $1.30, and are looking really juicy. Nowadays, my brokerage fee exceeds the value of my ‘asset’ after copping a 99% loss. Since then, I managed to dust myself off and have become an avid follower of financial markets, long term investor and intend to continue adding to my financial tool-belt. I'm a firm believer that despite one's appetite for effort or risk, the practice of investing is something we can all implement into our lives.
