Get Rich Slowly

by J.D. Roth

The web is filled with bullshit: bullshit sites plastered with bullshit ads that use bullshit tracking to advance bullshit agendas. Twenty years ago, the internet promised a glowing future filled with free information. Today, the web is increasingly unusable.

And money advice on the internet? Well, that's a whole special level of bullshit.

Get Rich Slowly is your no-bullshit guide to personal finance. My aim is to help you get rich. Everything here is accurate and effective, to the best of my knowledge.I'm only human. I'm bound to make mistakes. When I discover an error or learn something new, I make corrections and updates.

Get Rich Slowly has no display ads. There are no paywalls. As far as possible, we don't track you — not even with the ubiquitous Google Analytics.

Except in rare cases, I strive to stay politically neutral. I'm here to help with your personal finances no matter your race, religion, or political affiliation. The Big Picture is important, no doubt, but that's not what this site is about. We write about money at the personal level. If you want politics, look elsewhere.

Nothing here is illegal or immoral or shady, and I'm not selling any expensive courses.I will sometimes mention my for-hire work, such as the early retirement course I created in partnership with Audible and The Great Courses. That course costs $25, not $2500. This is, however, a for-profit site. I earn money when you buy products and services that I mention. But I will never pitch something just for the money. That's bullshit. And I've clearly labelled anything that puts money in my pocket with a sidenote. Each sidenote allows you to see how much this site will earn (and for what actions).Typically, this site earns money on a commission basis. When you buy a book using one of our links, we might make twenty cents. When you sign up for a credit card using one of our links, we might make $200.

Why should you trust me? You shouldn't. Not yet, anyhow.

But I suspect that — like millions of others since 2006 — once you've explored all that Get Rich Slowly has to offer, you'll see that I'm no shyster. I'm a garden-variety nerd.Here's more about me and this website. I grew up poor. As an adult, I spent 17 years mired in debt before I figured out this financial shit on my own. My aim now is to help others figure out this stuff too.

That's it. If you have questions or concerns, contact me. Otherwise, dive in. It's your turn to get rich slowly!
