Financial Samurai Was Born Out Of The Global Financial Crisis

Sam Dogen - Author

In 2009, the world was falling apart, and my net worth was taking a beating. I thought it would be a good idea to start a personal finance site to help myself and others make sense of chaos.

After all, I had spent 10 years working at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse (RIP), studied economics at William & Mary, got my MBA from UC Berkeley, saved aggressively, diversified my investments, and still got financially rocked!

After the global financial crisis, I promised to not make the same mistakes and help others minimize financial regret as well.

Why Read Financial Samurai?

Financial Samurai delves deeper into investing, real estate, retirement planning, career strategies, and more, so we can all achieve financial independence sooner, rather than later. In other words, I write about day-to-day real life issues many of us will face.
