Matt’s been obsessed with personal finance ever since he had his first dollar in hand. But he began his career in engineering out of a love of science, focused on cost reduction, and quickly realized he could apply those same principles to our family’s finances.
After a decade working on everything from spacecraft to bulldozers to defense systems, he took the leap and left the corporate world to pursue his other passion: helping families win with money.
Along the way he met Jeena, the love of his life, and together we built a life rooted in shared values: smart spending, simple joys, and saving with purpose.
We started our life together with modest means:
Even as Matt’s income grew, our household earnings stayed pretty close to the national average due to being a single income family.
But despite that, we were able to thrive with our finances because of the lifestyle we built around smart saving, creative earning, and sensible investing.
Over the years, those strategies allowed us to save nearly 70% of our income – all while living comfortably as a growing family of five, now with three amazing kids.
When we saw friends and families around us continuously struggling despite similar incomes in today’s world of inflation and financial uncertainty, we knew we had to do something.
Saving Your Tail was born from that passion to help!
Our mission is simple:
To give you the same tools, strategies, and mindset shifts that helped us take control of our money and thrive, so you can do the same, without making significant sacrifices or giving up the lifestyle you love.
We’re here to prove that you don’t need a six-figure income to build wealth. You just need the right approach!
