Amanda Garland

• Amanda's passion for homebrewing led to a grant from the North American Guild of Beer Writers, through which she interviewed the president of the BJCP and the executive director of the AHA.
• 15 years ago, Amanda knew nothing about credit and budgeting, and now she is passionate about helping others discover their own path to achieving their financial goals.
• For Amanda, there is no better feeling than finding deals on deliciousness. From growing her own veggies to hunting through grocery store discount bins, preparing an affordable meal is her trophy.
