Welcome to Reuters On the Money, a personal finance newsletter. Whether it's retirement, credit or real estate, my goal is to put the personal in personal finance. 

I’m Lauren Young, Digital Special Projects Editor at Reuters. I have been covering all aspects of investing, spending and saving for nearly three decades. I’m a notorious cheapskate, and I actually love doing my own taxes. Now, I get to share some of my financial knowledge with you.

I look forward to delivering the latest news, analysis and tips on U.S. personal finance topics every other Wednesday. This bi-monthly newsletter will feature actionable money advice, expert insights, the latest money headlines as well as a curated list of personal finance coverage from world-renowned Reuters journalists.

Everyone in the office asks me their money questions, and I want to be a resource for you, too. Are you thinking about paying off your mortgage early, researching credit cards for college students or retiring early? Send your money questions to me. I'll tap my extensive source network and braintrust for expert advice. Submit your questions here.
