Rothrock Personal Finance publishes practical, math-backed content on financial independence, wealth building, retirement planning, salary growth, and building multiple income streams. Our focus is on the path from wherever you are now to optional work — the point where your money covers your life without you having to trade time for it.
What we cover
Financial independence frameworks and FI number calculations, retirement account strategy (401k, Roth IRA, HSA), index fund investing, salary negotiation, building multiple income streams, zero-based budgeting, and the behavioral side of money — why smart people make poor financial decisions and what to do instead.
Our approach
We show the math. Personal finance content that hides the numbers behind vague advice is not useful. We believe in specific, actionable guidance grounded in how money actually works over time.
