About The Blog
For years I've had a passion for helping others. After building a career in accounting, becoming a CPA and also obtaining an MBA degree, there was a part of me that felt unfulfilled. My wife, who has been every bit of motivation and a crucial team member, encouraged me to start a blog to share some of the knowledge I would have gained over the years. The push for this endeavour was only strengthened after countless friends and family members would ask my input on financial matters. I took this as a sign from God that it was time to begin a new venture.

This blog serves as a resource of knowledge for those who want to gain a basic understanding of money and how to use it effectively. Unfortunately, our school systems have emphasised standard literacy but ignored the need to teach financial literacy. Wine & Dimes aims to bridge that gap.

Why the Name "Wine & Dimes"
The best business and financial conversations that I've had in life have occurred over a few drinks. For whatever reason, the tone of the conversation always felt laid back and fluid. The content matter also became more digestible. Given that the aim of this blog is to feel like an informal conversation, it was only right to create a name that captured that. But I'd be remiss to not credit the creative genius behind the catchy name, my wife.
