A Quick Note from Ted
"I spent decades in financial services before I realized the industry had it backwards. We kept telling people to be more rational with money — but humans aren't rational. We're emotional, impulsive, and wired for survival.
The Spending Smart community is built on one idea: manage your behavior first, and the money follows. I'm glad you're here."
— Ted McLyman
