Kate Daugherty is a writer for FinanceBuzz with a passion for providing others the head start they deserve on their financial journeys.

Kate's work, also featured in SUCCESS magazine, focuses on making complex financial ideas accessible. Her financial philosophy, "Personal finance is more about the personal than the finance," embodies her commitment to looking at someone's financial journey at an individual level.
