Larry Faulkner is an award-winning author and certified financial education instructor.
He decided he wanted to be a millionaire in high school, but several years and two divorces later, Larry saw his dream slipping away. He was deeply in debt and barely scraping by each month.
Larry recommitted to his goals and began educating himself on budgeting, saving, and investing. When he met his wife, Lisa, they realized they shared a vision of financial independence, so they worked together to achieve their dream.
A former officer for the Dayton, Ohio Police Department, Larry began teaching other officers what he had learned. This led to formal classes for his fellow officers, firefighters, public safety personnel, and even doctors.
Larry and Lisa have designed financial wellness classes for public and private entities to promote financial awareness and literacy to the employees. Larry also designed and taught a special multi-week financial rebuilding class to prison inmates to give them knowledge to financially rebuild their lives after release.
Larry is a self-made millionaire who personally made the journey he writes about in his book, The Illustrated Guide to Financial Independence, a number-one Amazon bestseller.
This book doesn't merely address the surface-level symptoms of financial issues but delves deep into the root causes that give rise to these problems. As a scientist, what truly captivated and drew me to read it was the wealth of advice grounded in scientific evidence. It's a valuable read, whether or not you find yourself facing financial challenges. Anyone can glean valuable insights from it!
