About
Kristin Marino is a trusted voice in personal finance and banking, drawing on nearly two decades of experience as a writer and editor. Her work has appeared on finance sites like MoneyRates, The Balance, and MoneyGeek, but some of her most significant experience with family finances comes from teaching her own two kids the financial lessons she wishes she learned as a child. She has a sharp ability to turn complicated financial concepts into clear, practical insights, and she's committed to helping readers navigate their own family money decisions with clarity and confidence.
