  • scan0001 Hi and welcome! I’m Julie and I’ve hired myself to make the most of my family’s finances. I started The Family CEO to document my efforts and to share what I’ve learned.

    I blog about paying off debt, paying for college, and managing my family's money.

    But since I view money as a tool for creating a life you love, you'll also find me blogging about the things that are important to me, like simplifying, making a home, and connecting with others. Read more.
