As everyone knows, life is expensive. And, if you’re low on funds, it can be overwhelming. That’s why I like writing for GoodRx and personal finance articles in general: Anything I can do to help people make their money go further means that I can sleep a little better at night.

Over the years, he has written forLife magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, CNN Money, Reuters, Consumer Reports, the Washington Post, Entrepreneur magazine, and Forbes, among others.
