About

I’m Jesse Cramer.

I started The Best Interest in 2018 when I was a mechanical engineer, designing satellite telescopes.

But, one 401k or budgeting question at a time, I realized my passion was to help people improve their personal finances.

I began writing here to "learn in public," to share as I learned and to add genuine signal to an otherwise noisy Internet.

Fast forward to now. So much has changed.

- The Best Interest was nominated for 2022 "Personal Finance Blog of the Year"
- I've been on CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, the Motley Fool, Yahoo Finance, and more.
- I created a book with 30 other personal finance experts.
- And I left engineering. I now work for a fiduciary, fee-only wealth management firm with one important mission: helping people achieve their financial goals.

How The Best Interest Will Help You

Ben Franklin wrote, “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” (Yes – that’s how I got the blog’s name!)

I believe in those words. You'll receive an unbelievable return on investment if you invest in knowledge.

The Best Interest will help you by covering ideas like:

- Risk and reward

- Financial markets
- Investor psychology
- Personal finance basics
- Increasing your long-term wealth
- And much more

The Best Interest has helped thousands of people. All for free. Because as Lawrence Lessig said,

“If the Internet teaches us anything, it is that great value comes from leaving core resources in a commons, where they’re free for people to build upon as they see fit.”

The Best Interest might help you too.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know how I can help you.
