About Us

Hey there! I'm Brian, a.k.a. TSD, and I'm the founder of The Steady Dollar. I'm not sure if I'm proud to say this, or feel some slight tinges of shame (both?!), but over the past 15 years I've had, shall we say, a few ups and downs. I've been a millionaire twice and also had almost nothing twice, so I've learned a thing or two about what it takes to make and either lose or grow money (and sometimes lots of it).



My mission here is to share my learnings from these experience with hopes that it will help other people navigate the path to financial freedom, no matter how non-linear it may be lol. As always, please remember that I am not a professional financial advisor and anything and everything on this site is for entertainment purposes only. For more info on that please read the disclosure at the bottom of every page.
