About Us

Garrett Jay, Founder

Garrett Jay learned the value of money at a very early age. His parents didn't force him to learn about money, but they encouraged him to earn and spend his own money. He doesn't remember ever receiving an allowance or getting paid to help with chores around the house. He says, "I never expected any money from my parents and believe I am a better person monetarily today because of it."                                                       About Money Lessons for Life
