The middle-child syndrome is real. Researchers say they are likely to develop maladaptive perfectionism. So Amanda has a constant desire to have everything go as planned, including her dreams of reaching 1M45!
Adam
CMO
When he was young, Adam made more bad financial decisions than he’s had hot dinners. Now he’s officially the oldest man alive, he wants to make sure young people don’t make the same mistakes.
Angela
Head of Editorial
Angela’s main hobby is to Netflix and chill and that saves her a lot of money.
Sim
