Jerrold Mundis first began writing about personal debt and recovery from it (along with increased earning and making peace with money in general) back in 1986 as a result of his own personal experiences with debt, and with the pain and despair that often accompany it.  And then his successful struggle and journey back from that dark place into a debt-free healthy, prosperous, and peaceful relationship with money.  One better, vastly better, than he had ever known before.

Mundis has presented workshops and seminars on personal money for clients ranging from the U.S. Customs Service through Unity Church to the State of Alabama and the National Education Association.

As a private financial therapist and coach, he helps people across the United States gain a happier and more prosperous relationship with money, working by telephone, and has also helped people in  Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Israel, Germany, and other countries, do the same.

Born in raised in Chicago, Illinois, Mundis has lived in the north woods of Wisconsin, the mountains of upstate New York, in lower Florida, and in New York City – which he first encountered when he was twenty, which he has left and returned to, and which he calls home and has for many years now.  He has two grown sons, who have made his life immeasurably richer by their very beings.
