Hello! Welcome to The Compounding Interests! Thank you for checking out our site and allow us to introduce ourselves. We are two friends named Alex and Troy and we love to discuss personal finance. Part of the reason we decided to start this website was because we have made lots of mistakes along the way and would love to share what helped us get started on a new path.
We are both former full-time church staff members and we met on a student ministry Facebook group. We share a similar faith foundation, a passion for Financial Independence and to help others for answer their money questions. Because of life’s unexpected curve balls, we know that we can’t always rely on a paycheck. Our goal of a high savings rate is key in allowing us to not be slaves to financial fears and to let us live and give generously.

Despite Alex living in Ohio and Troy being in North Carolina, we enjoy discussing saving, investing, and other aspects of our lives. Thus, the name The Compounding Interests name was born.
Talking about frugal living, investment strategies, and travel rewards are some of our favorite topics, and how to put them into practice. In addition, we are enthusiastic about blending fitness and nutrition into our lives and to share our victories in this area.
Both Troy and Alex have experienced unexpected job loss, disappointments, and realized that despite the setbacks, we are incredibly blessed. Many people have given us their time, energy, and knowledge to help us over the years and we hope that we can similarly help others.
