Philip Taylor

Philip "PT" Taylor wanted to discover that special money-making idea that would allow him to escape the safe, but unsatisfying career path he found himself on. He found himself more dependent on the corporate paycheck and felt trapped with his car loans, student loans, and poor spending habits. Then he discovered some weird brave people on the Internet who were willing to share their success with money, side-hustling, and building a business, and those unknowing mentors gave him the fuel, confidence, and accountability he needed to start on my own journey towards financial freedom. Three years later, he left my job and started working on my side-hustle full-time. Since, he's written for US News & World Report, TurboTax, ING Direct, and PerkStreet. He's now fully self-employed and the creator of FinCon.
