Sarah Sharkey is a personal finance writer who enjoys helping people make optimal financial decisions for their situation. She loves digging into the nitty-gritty details of financial products and money management strategies to root out the good, the bad and the ugly. Her goal is to help readers find the best course of action for their needs.
Her desire to help readers make the right financial decisions started with an interest in personal finance after graduating from the University of Florida. With so many peers facing student loan debt and the onslaught of expenses that seem to start after graduation, finding a way to navigate these costs personally and fielding questions about money from friends started her down this path. In the years to follow, she discovered a true passion in helping readers make informed financial decisions.
In the last eight years, she has covered credit cards, mortgages, student loans, budgeting, travel and more. She has written for numerous finance publications, including Newsweek, Business Insider and The Wall Street Journal's Buyside.
When she's not writing about money, Sarah can be found exploring the waters near her coastal home with her husband and dogs. Boating with a book is her favorite combination.
