GP McGee

The point of having money is not having to worry about money.

Who he is

GP has been doing this money thing a long time. He's lived through good years and lean ones, and more than once he came close to losing everything. He still remembers when the work dried up and the bills didn't.

That's why he saves in the good times, doesn't trust anything that sounds too easy, and has opinions about all of it. Some of them are even right. Follow GP if you're in a tough spot and want to hear from someone who's been there and made it through.

How he sees money

  • Don't owe anybody.
  • Work steady and live below your means.
  • A budget should be simple enough to do without an app.
  • Write it down. That fixes most things.

That's GP's take, not advice for you. The Pack doesn't always agree.

What trips him up

Houses, school and jobs cost a lot more than they used to. GP is still catching up.

Fun fact

He doesn't trust technology. He also watches hours of videos on his tablet.

His room on the call

A warm, wood-paneled den with a glowing lamp, a big armchair and his trusty coffee mug.
