About
Nobody taught us this. Let me fix that.
Marcus Cole is a 34-year-old financial educator and writer who turned his own debt story into a practical financial education platform for Millennials and Gen Z across the US, UK, and Australia.
Marcus's Story
After paying off $47,000 in debt on a normal salary, Marcus realized most of what worked for him wasn't taught in school — it was learned the hard way. He started sharing the practical lessons in short, written breakdowns, and the audience grew from there.
