The Host of Popcorn Finance
Chris actually entered college as an art major, but after taking a finance class for fun (who does that) he realized how little he knew about managing his own money and that he couldn't be the only one who felt this way. Chris switched his major to finance and his passion for personal finance began. While working in the world of accounting and financial analysis, Chris decided to launch Popcorn Finance in June of 2017.
