Quotes:
“All those years I went through kindergarten to 12th grade, college… how is it possible I’m so educated but I know nothing about how money works, how debt works, how borrowing works? So I kind of felt a little frustrated and I felt like learning all of this will be my way of getting payback.”

Financial advice is everywhere, but how do you know whom you can trust?
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
Ren started interning at NGPF in 2014, and worked part-time through high school and college.
