ABOUT

I'm a money writer who believes that real happiness is achieved by building wealth - not swiping your plastic.

I'm Jordann, a millennial money writer. I started writing about my financial journey on my blog, My Alternate Life, in 2023, when I was $38,000 in debt. My debt story isn't one of extreme spending or of being a shopaholic.

I didn't have maxed out credit cards or an apartment full of new furniture. In fact, I'd been pretty frugal until this point. Instead, my debt was from a four year university degree and a used car.

No matter the reason for ending up in debt, I vowed to pay it off. And I did, over $40,000 in two years.

Since then I've gotten married, accumulated a $10,000 emergency fund, but a home, and gotten divorced. Keeping my finances on track hasn't been easy, which is why I wrote about it every step of the way.

A sleep routine, time spent DIYing, good skincare, Spotify beats, and really great books.
