Personal finance reporter (and MoneySense contributor) Renée Sylvestre-Williams describes her newsletter as “a no-nonsense conversation about money for solo earners.” A lot of traditional personal finance advice is built on the assumption that you have a partner in life and your finances. Sylvestre-Williams’ newsletter fills the void of information available for those managing their money alone… Although the free newsletter is distributed less frequently than many others, the posts are well-sourced, giving readers confidence in the quality of Sylvestre-Williams’ work.
