🥢 About Miso Money

Welcome to Miso Money, where we mix real-life money talk with good vibes, good food, and life you can actually enjoy.

I’m Ian, a finance pro, foodie, and travel lover — and I started this site because I believe money advice should feel less like a lecture… and more like a warm bowl of miso soup.


💡 What is Miso Money?

  • 💸 Simple, real-world money tips — no jargon, no judgment.

👋 Who Am I?

I’m Ian, an accountant turned financial advisor with a soft spot for ramen, morning workouts, and helping people take small steps toward big life changes.

  • I work 9–5 in finance, but my mission is bigger than spreadsheets.
  • I started Miso Money as a space to be real, reflect, and help others.
  • I believe money isn’t just about numbers — it’s about freedom, peace, and choice.

🙌 Why “Miso Money”?

Because:

  • Miso is simple, comforting, nourishing.

  • And sometimes, all you need is a warm bowl and a better plan.
