Testimonials

I’m a huge fan of Paula Pant from AffordAnything.com. Not only is she crazy entrepreneurial and “living the dream” doing stuff on her own accord, but she’s just downright fun and relatable. –  J. Money, Budgets Are Sexy

Paula is remarkable for two reasons. First, she’s one of only a few female bloggers in a niche dominated by men. Second, Paula focuses almost exclusively on making money instead of saving it. Her blog is about building wealth, with a particular focus on rental properties. She’s sharp, and she now has me as a subscriber. – J.D. Roth, Get Rich Slowly
