Foreigner's Finances

I’m Austin Morgan – the foreigner. I’m a 23 year-old old American teaching English in Japan, and I’m not immune to the money battles we all will face in life.

Don’t you wish we had a money map in our lives sometimes? Loans, savings, debt, mortgages, and careers – it never seems to get any easier.

Foreigner’s Finances is the co-captain through your inaugural money journey.

FF will not only guide you through the new money decisions you’ll face in your life, but it’ll provide you a friendly face to learn from, bounce ideas off, and relate to.

Japan’s played a huge role in my life, and FF we’ll also take a look at what we can learn financially, and personally, from not just the Japanese, but other cultures as well. Perspective is inspiration and we can learn a lot about ourselves by stepping outside of our personal space bubbles and getting our minds reworked sometimes.

Besides, let’s face it, we’re all global now.

Come along for the ride as we explore ways to dominate our finances, prepare for the future, and maximize our lives.

Are you with me?

Hey, College Kids – I wrote an e-book that’ll save you tons of cash

My girlfriend and I had a textbook side business in college (more about that) and in the process, I learned every loophole possible for saving huge on textbooks. I packaged it up into 8 easy steps and wrote an e-book.

If this book doesn’t save you over $50 next term, email me and I’ll personally find your books at a cheaper price. For real.
