Finances & Money

Check out my interview at FiLife.com!

This past week, Kristen at FiLife Blog conducted an electronic interview with yours truly. I dished about my hopes, fears, desires and best/worst financial products. With some creative research, you can probably figure out a bit more about our income based on their percentages, but you also need to account for where I live. Check out their “Stackers” to see where you rank.

Unbeknown to Kristen, FiLife.com is actually a sponsor here at Clever Dude (as of November). While I have some questionable advertisers come and go on this site (hey, the money helps!), I think I can actually recommend using FiLife to my readers, whether it be their main site or their blog. Go check them out!

About Cleverdude

Mike founded CleverDude.com in June 2006 while working as a technical analyst in the Washington, D.C. area. A Penn State graduate, he built the site as a side project alongside a white-collar career that included earning a master’s degree and multiple promotions.

In five years he wrote nearly 1,300 articles on personal finance and life lessons drawn from his own experience. The blog grew from a hobby into a recognized early voice in the personal-finance community and generated meaningful revenue. He sold the site in 2010, continued as a guest contributor through 2015, and returned in 2023 after further career advances, paying off his home, and extensive travel.
