IN JENNIFER’S OWN WORDS …

Most of us need to manage our own finances in an incredibly complex system—as if life wasn’t complicated enough already. In my role as a copy editor working with financial publishers for more than two decades, I’ve been fortunate to learn about basic and advanced investing concepts and strategies, how to manage debt and how to save for the future, how to set a budget, and how to create and maintain good credit. I’ve learned about mortgage terms, health savings accounts, 529 college savings accounts, when to apply for Social Security benefits, and much, much more. It amazes me how much there is to know about this fundamental aspect of modern life. I’m delighted to be a part of Britannica Money’s mission to provide an accessible path to financial literacy for everyone who uses money.
