Bob Haegele | Expert Contributor

Bob Haegele is a freelance personal finance writer with expertise writing about credit cards, banking, investing, insurance, and loans. He has been freelancing since 2018 and a full-time freelancer since 2020. Bob has written for several well-known publications, such as Yahoo Finance, U.S. News & World Report, and Newsweek. He specializes in several types of content, including educational articles, reviews, and “best of” lists. Haegele studied information technology at Marquette University and worked in IT for nine years before transitioning to freelance writing. Attending a private university left him with a large amount of student debt, which he managed to pay off in its entirety by cutting back on spending and paying as much as he could each month. However, he realized he hadn’t saved as much as he would have liked, and that made him determined to educate others on personal finance and make better financial decisions. That led him to freelance writing, and he has written hundreds of articles since transitioning to his new career.
