Hi, I’m John McGinniss and welcome to my page!
A little about me: Passionate about helping others with personal finance. I enjoy writing about my observations of life and creating new experiences. New Jersey-born and bred. Down the Jersey shore, everything is alright. Currently working on my 1965 Mustang convertible and walking the beach at night breathing and thinking and observing. Come take a walk with me.
Here are my most popular personal writings:
My #1 Long Term Goal as a Grandparent-Starting Now. My goal with my grandson Patrick
Jersey Shore Moon at Sunset. The best Moon Rise I ever saw!
Blue Skies Ruined on 9/11. My reflection on walking out of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 as the first plane hit and what we learned on 9/12.
My Grandfather’s Gold Coin and How It Impacted My Life, His Gift Lives On. The story of receiving my immigrant Italian Grandfather’s gold coin at the age of 8 and how it set the course for my professional career in finance.
Which leads to my most popular personal finance articles:
