About “For you, Jeanie”
One day it hit me. My daughter Jeanie is growing up, and I will not always be just a phone call away.
So I started writing it all down. Every money lesson, every hard truth, and every piece of wisdom I wished someone had handed me when I was her age. Not because I am an expert. But because I am her dad.
I write her letters. About money, about life, about how to think, plan, and move through the world with confidence and clarity. About the things nobody teaches you in school but that everyone eventually learns the hard way.
These letters are for Jeanie. But they are also for anyone who is just starting out. The recent graduate stepping into their first real job. The young adult navigating their first apartment, their first contract, their first big financial decision. Anyone who has ever wished someone older and wiser had sat them down and told them the truth about how money and life actually work before they had to figure it out on their own.
I share these letters with the world because great advice should never stop at one person's door. Just honest, practical, and hard-won wisdom available to anyone who needs it. If these letters helped Jeanie, they can help you too.
My name is Ferris Shermer. And these letters are my way of always being there.
Welcome to For You, Jeanie.
