Your Money: The Missing Manual

The Missing Credits

About the Author

J.D. Roth is an accidental personal-finance expert—a regular guy who found himself deep in debt. After deciding to turn his life around, he read everything he could about money and finance. To share what he’d learned, in 2006 J.D. started the award-winning website Get Rich Slowly (www.getrichslowly.org), which Money magazine named the Web’s most inspiring personal-finance blog.

Over the past 4 years, Get Rich Slowly has grown into an active community where 500,000 monthly visitors share ideas on how to save money on food, find the best savings accounts, dig out of debt, and otherwise improve their financial lives.

J.D. lives with his wife and four cats in a 100-year-old house in Portland, Oregon. When he’s not writing about money, he likes to read, eat, and laugh with his friends. You can read about his obsessions with books, cats, and comic books at www.jdroth.com. If you have questions, drop him a line at [e-mail].
