Scott Gong

Scott Gong is a personal finance aficionado, first-generation college student, mechanical engineer, and founder of Scott Gong Tutoring—which emphasizes the “why” so students can learn to solve complex problems independently and apply their knowledge in real life. His mentorship in academics, career development, and personal finance has helped hundreds of students flourish as young adults. His work across multiple disciplines and countless “money talks” with other young professionals gives him the breadth and depth of perspective to write Personal Finance for Young Professionals with authority. Scott’s middle-class upbringing is relatable: his income comes from a 9-5 job—not a trust fund, social media, or cryptocurrency. Gong built his financial foundation from the simple and applicable techniques presented in this book and hopes that you will too!
