My name is Jason Simon and I am your Qvisory Money Content Manager.
Money matters to me as much as it probably matters to you. I know what it’s like to feel anxious, confused, and angry while trying to figure out how much to spend on rent, where to find a job, or which credit card to use. These are the types of decisions we all must face.
I strongly believe that Qvisory is opening a space to discuss these issues, learn from each other, and creatively advocate for money, work, and health issues that affect our daily life.
Follow me along as write at the Tools for Life Blog.

Jake, Thanks. I'll check out this site. Many companies offer financial products that claim to be free, but are not in the long run. -
