About

Welcome to PT Money: Personal Finance a place I created where you can come to discuss money and all things personal finance.

The hope is that this can be a place where we can learn and share our thoughts, ideas, and best tips regarding personal finance with the primary topics being making money, saving money, and spending money wisely.

It’s not about limiting life.

It’s about creating a limit-less life.

More About Philip Taylor “PT”

Philip Taylor | "PT"

Hi, I’m Philip Taylor. But you can call me PT. I’m just a regular guy who created this site back in early 2007 as a way to share my own experiences with successfully managing my money, and to connect with others who were heading in the same direction. I also hope to impart some of the knowledge I gained as a practicing CPA.

I’m married to Mrs. PT, who is super frugal and smart with our money. We recently welcomed Miss PT and little Miss PT to the family.Together we love to travel, spend time with friends and family, and generally stay as active as possible.

I’ll lead the discussion on PT Money by providing my personal finance experience, links to interesting and valuable information, as well as ideas to make and save more money. But don’t let that stop you from asking questions or submitting your own post ideas.

A Note from a Reader

In the last 2 years I have managed to pay off $20k in credit card debt. One sure reason was reading your blogs all the time, just to keep myself motivated. I had been advised to declare bankruptcy – which was not an option for my own integrity. I had a really adverse reaction for several weeks after paying it all off – but now it’s great!! I owe no money to nobody.
Thanks to blogs like yours I have mastered frugal living, and to date have $1500 in a Tax Free Savings Account (part of my emergency fund – a little out of the way).
Give miss PT and Mrs PT a special hug from a special guy who just wants people to be able to breathe easy about money. Thank you…….you made a huge difference in my life
