Kevin Mercadante

Kevin Mercadante has been writing about personal finance since 2010,
covering investing, retirement, taxes, credit cards, real estate, mortgages
and insurance.

His work has appeared on many blogs and websites,
including Investor Junkie, Dough Roller, Money Under 30, Time.com,
Wallethacks, My Bank Tracker and Investing Answers.com, in addition to
Good Financial Cents.

Kevin brings many years of experience working in CPA firms and mortgage companies, preparing hundreds of income taxes, and helping hundreds more get the financing needed to buy or refinance a home. His entire career has been in personal finance.

Along the way, he’s used that experience to counsel clients on how to better manage their finances overall. He brings that experience to his writing, sharing real-world personal experience to go along with the more technical aspects of all things financial.

In addition to his other experience, he has also held a property & casualtyinsurance license in Georgia, and a real estate sales associate’s license in New Jersey, where he sold real estate while attending college.

Kevin holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from Montclair State University, and occasionally shares his financial expertise on his own personal blog, OutofYourRut.com.
