Senior Money Dork
Hi there, I am Alvin. I’m all about helping you grow your wealth, build your confidence, and achieve your financial goals. I’ll try to add a dose of humor and a bit of my dorky charm. I love finance. And I have been caught reading personal finance books on the weekends. Over 20 years experience working in the banking industry and almost a decade as an accountant have given me a deep understanding of how the financial world works. Also, I have a Master’s in Economics.
