About

Welcome to Of Dollars And Data!

Hello there, I’m Nick Maggiulli (pronounced Ma-Julie), the creator of Of Dollars And Data and the Chief Operating Officer at Ritholtz.

I started Of Dollars And Data as a New Year’s Resolution while I was living in Boston at the beginning of 2017. At the time, I had a great job in litigation consulting, but my heart wasn’t in it. What I really loved was personal finance and investing. So, I made a promise that I would publish one blog post a week until I figured out what to do with my career.

Over the course of the next year, a whole new world opened up for me. I quickly found myself meeting some of the most incredible people in the financial industry both on Twitter and in person. Through this process, I landed a role at Ritholtz, moved to New York City, and haven’t looked back.

Since then I have published over 500,000 words online and have seen my work featured in:

and many others. After blogging for 5 years I published Just Keep Buying in April 2022, which has now sold over 400,000 copies worldwide. A few years later I published The Wealth Ladder, which became a NY Times Bestseller. 

Lastly, I’ve also spoken at the following conferences:

  • FutureProof (2022, 2023, 2024)
  • Bogleheads (2022)
  • FinTwit Summit (2022)

If you are new to my writing, start here with my most popular posts. If you’ve been reading me for a while, subscribe to my weekly newsletter in order to never miss a post.

How My Blog Will Help You

The goal of my work on Of Dollars And Data is to help you make better financial decisions using the best information available. Ultimately, I want you to act smarter and live richer. As a result, this blog will cover ideas such as:

  • What to expect from financial markets
  • How to think about risk
  • How to time investment purchases
  • How to find good information and ignore bad information
  • How to organize and manage your finances
  • The best ways to increase your long-term wealth

And much, much more.

The ideas presented on this blog will provide you with a different perspective on money that you can use in your everyday life. I am sure of this because of the hundreds of hours of research that went into the more than 400 posts currently published on this blog.
