- My name is J.D. Roth. You might know me from Money Boss, where I write about mastering your money — and your life. I founded Get Rich Slowly, wrote Your Money: The Missing Manual, created the year-long "Get Rich Slowly" course, and contributed the monthly "Your Money" column to Entrepreneur magazine. This site is about more than money; it's a personal playground where I share big thoughts and small details from my daily life. New? Start here. Old? Check out the archives.

Master Your Money
In 2014, I published the year-long Get Rich Slowly course. I'm proud of it. It contains everything I learned about saving and investing during a decade as a money writer. Buy it here.

My cat is an inside/outside cat. However, as she ages and her arthritis worsens, she will usually only venture outside if I accompany her. On Saturday, though, she lay in the lawn chair from 3pm to 11pm. Of course, that kind of exertion required a full 24 hours of sleep on Sunday.
