Robert D. Barocas is a lawyer, financial coach, and educator focused on making complicated money decisions easier to understand. His work emphasizes plain-English explanations, real-number examples, and the practical questions people should know to ask before making consequential financial choices. His book, The Money Stuff Nobody Taught You, grew from a simple idea: intelligent adults should not need a finance degree to understand the mechanics behind taxes, borrowing, investing, retirement accounts, insurance, charitable giving, and estate planning.
