Welcome to MoneyNWS
MoneyNWS is your go-to source for real-time financial insight and practical guidance. Whether you’re managing a monthly budget, rebalancing your portfolio, or trying to make sense of market swings, we’re here to help you cut through the noise—and take confident action.
We blend clear reporting with expert-backed advice, delivering the financial updates and strategies that matter most. Because we believe that financial literacy shouldn’t feel intimidating—it should feel empowering.
Here, you’ll find news you can trust, tools you can use, and ideas that keep your goals in motion.
The Experience We Want to Create
MoneyNWS is built to offer a place where you can come for clarity, perspective, and practical ideas that feel immediately useful. Sometimes that means helping you refine the basics. Sometimes it means helping you look at a familiar money decision in a smarter way. Sometimes it means giving you the confidence to finally understand a concept you have seen a dozen times but never fully unpacked.
Financial confidence isn't a personality trait. It's a skill. And like every skill worth having, it gets sharper the better your information is.
Decoding Money to Help You Think Ahead
We distill the complexities of markets, policies, and tools into strategies you can trust. It’s not just about knowing what’s happening—it’s about understanding how it impacts you and what to do next.

Dakota Radkevich
Personal Finance Strategist
Dakota has spent seven years helping people untangle their relationship with money—first as a financial counselor, now as one of the clearest writers in the personal finance space. She covers budgeting, debt strategy, and cash flow with the kind of practical, judgment-free directness that makes readers feel like they finally have a plan.
Collin Westervoll
Investment Insight Lead
Collin has the rare ability to sit with a genuinely complicated investing concept—portfolio construction, asset correlation, tax drag—and translate it into something a first-time investor can act on before lunch. A chartered financial analyst with a background in asset management, he covers the investing beat with analytical rigor and zero tolerance for the kind of vague optimism that passes for advice in a lot of financial media.
Laura Gashi
Wealth Strategy Editor
Laura writing sits at the intersection of behavioral economics and long-term financial planning—a combination that makes her one of the most useful voices on the team. She covers the strategic side of financial life: goal-setting frameworks, tax efficiency, wealth-building sequences, and the psychology behind why we make the money decisions we do.
Daniel Hollingsworth
Financial News & Policy Writer
A certified financial planner with a background in fee-only advising, Daniel brings a rare combination of technical depth and genuine warmth to the coverage of retirement planning and long-term wealth building. He's particularly skilled at writing for people who feel like they've "started late"—a group, he points out with characteristic honesty, that is larger than any financial industry statistic suggests.
Xandra Turner
Behavioral Finance Strategist
Xandra explores the fascinating intersection of psychology and money. She understands that math is only half the equation; the rest is about how our brains handle risk and reward. She writes incredibly relatable guides that make saving feel like a psychological victory rather than a restriction.
How We See It
Built for the long game.
Wealth isn't built in a weekend, and neither is financial confidence. MoneyNWS is designed to grow with you—a resource that stays useful no matter where you are in your financial journey.
Clarity is the product.
Financial concepts are genuinely complex. Making them understandable without dumbing them down is a craft—and it's the one we're most focused on getting right.
Steady wins the understanding.
Markets are loud. We're not. MoneyNWS covers what holds up—timeless frameworks, durable strategies, and the kind of thinking that outlasts any particular headline.
You already have what it takes.
Good money decisions don't require a finance degree. They require good information and a clear framework. We bring the first two. You bring the rest—and you're more ready than you think.
