About Jacob Wade

I’m Jacob Wade, and I gave up on the “American Dream.”

There’s nothing wrong with going to college, working hard, and build a life you LOVE, but I found out that the typical dreams of previous generations are now designed to keep you TRAPPED, and do not allow the Freedom to live life on your own terms.

Through a decade of intentional saving, planning and choices, we realized that we could step off the highway of the typical American life, and jump on the road less traveled. 

I want to share the lessons we learned along the way, and show how YOU can build a Roadmap to Financial Freedom.

Who Is Jacob?

I’m just a regular guy with a passion for helping people understanding HOW MONEY WORKS.

I’ve also done a few crazy things in my life:

• Lived on $14 an hour and STILL saved money
• Paid off over $40,000 in debt
• Grown our net worth from negative to over 6 figures
• Quit my six-figure job and travel the country in an RV

I have been featured as a money expert in many national publications such as Yahoo! Finance, CBS News, MSN Money, Forbes, Go Banking Rates, Nasdaq, AOL Finance, and more.

I continue to reach tens of thousands of people on my website iHeartBudgets, and you can follow me daily on Instagram and Facebook!
