More about The Billfold:
The Billfold aims to do away with the misbelief that talking about difficult money issues is uncomfortable, and create a space to have an honest conversation about how we save, spend and repay our debts. We break one of the last taboos in our culture—talking about what you earn, what you spend, what you owe.
The Billfold was founded by Mike Dang and Logan Sachon, with contributions from talented people from around the globe. Who are Mike and Logan? Well, a friend once described the two as "a study in contrasts." Mike pays all his bills on time, saves for retirement, and sends home money to his parents. Logan lives off her credit cards, has $3 in her savings account, and has her parents pay her phone bill.
