Welcome to MarkInTheMoney
Money doesn’t have to be hard. Let me help make it simple.
Have you ever felt lost when it comes to money? You’re not alone. I was once drowning in debt and making every money mistake in the book. Now I’m here to share what I’ve learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
Hi! I’m Mark, the face behind MarkInTheMoney.
I’m not your typical financial expert with fancy degrees. I’m someone who’s been where you are.
I’ve made the mistakes. I’ve felt the stress of debt. I’ve wondered how I’d ever save enough for the future.
But I turned things around. I went from being in debt to becoming a high earner with solid investments and a secure pension. I didn’t learn this from textbooks – I learned it by living it.
Now I’m on a mission to help others do the same.

Why Money Matters
Let’s face it – our schools don’t teach us how to handle money. Most of us learn through painful mistakes and stressful situations.
I believe it shouldn’t be that way.
Understanding money isn’t just about getting rich. It’s about:
- Sleeping better at night without money worries
- Having choices in life rather than feeling stuck
- Building a future where you can enjoy the things that matter to you
- Passing on good money habits to your children
