ABOUT US
THE MISSION
MartinMoney.com exists to help anyone optimize their journey to financial independence.
Regardless of where you are in your wealth-building journey, my goal is to help by providing you with the education, skills, and tools to make the most of your next available dollar.
WHO AM I?
I’m Curt Martin and I started my own financial journey when I got married to my wife, Lisa, in 2006.
I entered the workforce with no experience and not a ton of confidence about how to buy homes and cars, much less saving and investing. Feeling a newfound burden for making “responsible” decisions, I set out to consume as much information as I could about personal finance and found that I actually like it.
Over the years I’ve learned tons about managing and investing personal finances to maximize their potential. My wife and I also have a natural love for teaching that’s given us the itch to share what we’ve learned with others.
The result is the Next Dollar Roadmap.
More than anything, my desire is for you to see that financial independence isn’t just some nebulous wish like winning the lottery or finding a pot of gold. It’s not even something that’s reserved for a select few who inherit wealth or are born with the cognitive power to become doctors or rocket scientists.
Put simply, I believe financial independence is available to anyone willing to put some time and effort into building and working a plan.
Through a logical and disciplined approach to maximizing each and every “next dollar”, I want to help get you going on the path to financial freedom starting now!
To learn more about why I started the blog, see this post.
Curt has had an extensive interest in personal finance since he had to stop living off of his parent’s benevolence and read Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover after graduating from college.
A graduate of the University of Alabama with a degree in Business Administration, Curt now works as a supply chain manager for an electric utility. He enjoys running and finished his 6th marathon in 2021. Curt also enjoys cycling, backpacking, and smoking copious amounts of meat on his pellet smoker.
Together, Curt & Lisa are the proud parents of two kids and a Vizsla named Major. They are active in their community and church where they’ve led young married couples in small group Bible study since 2009. Their favorite things to do as a family are hiking, traveling, swimming, and playing Qwirkle.
