About me

I grew up in a house where the mail sat on the kitchen table until someone needed a particular paper. When I had my own apartment, I learned that the trouble was never the money alone. It was the pile. Now I sort the mail at the row of mailboxes in my building, on the porch steps and at the kitchen table, and I teach what I do.

I record my show in a converted garage with terracotta foam on the walls and one microphone. Each episode takes one part of a household’s money, such as a pay stub, a bill calendar or a folder, and goes through it slowly. I am not an accountant, and I do not give advice about your own situation. I show how it works so that you can sort your own.

What I sell are the sheets and workbooks I use at home: a way to read a pay stub, to follow a pay from the top of the page to what is left, and to keep papers where you can find them. I do not sell personal help. You do it at your own table, in your own time.
