Story
When I teach Personal Finance to high schoolers, I constantly hear adults say, “I wish I had this when I was in school.”Even my students would ask, “Why don’t you help grown-ups like our parents?” That question stuck with me.
​
So here I am—taking the same clear, practical lessons I’ve taught to hundreds of teens and bringing them to you. Whether you’re a young adult, a parent, or just someone ready to stop guessing about money, you deserve advice that actually makes sense.
​
I’ve seen firsthand how understanding money can change lives. My mission is simple: to make personal finance less intimidating and way more empowering.

"Before working with Shamael, I was drowning in credit card debt and had no clue where my money was going. In just three months, he helped me create a budget I could stick to and eventually pay off $15,000. Now I feel in control and confident about my future!."

"I had no idea where to start with retirement savings. Shamael walked me through setting up a Roth IRA, explaining how it fits my goals in a way I could actually understand. Now I’m close to maxing it out every year and feel more like an adult!"
Payton M, 24, OH
"I was lost trying to figure out health insurance options after getting my first job. Shamael broke down my choices, showing me how to pick a plan that fits my budget and needs. Thanks to his guidance, I know what to expect and how to pick a plan"
About Me
Hi, I’m Shamael Chaudhary—a high school personal finance and history teacher in Columbus, Ohio, and now a financial coach dedicated to helping individuals take control of their money and build a better future. I also coach high school baseball, combining my love for mentorship and sports.
​
Before becoming an educator, I owned several gas stations and learned firsthand the challenges and rewards of managing finances and running a business. While that path taught me a lot, I eventually followed my passion for teaching, and it’s been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life.
This website is an extension of that journey. As a financial coach, I aim to empower people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take charge of their personal finances. I believe financial literacy should be accessible to everyone.
​
In my free time, you can usually find me watching sports, golfing, or spending time with friends and family.
