Deciding what to do with your money can be complicated, but Dear Dollars makes it easy. I decided to create Dear Dollars to make money decisions simple. It’s the only website that gives you the single, simple answer upfront, rather than make you scroll through endless pages of things to consider. A really, really, good answer that you can find in 10 seconds is better than the “perfect” answer that you may never find. With “Maximize My Money“, you have a simple-to-follow map to guide you where you should put your next dollar to maximize its value.
