Maurie Backman has been writing professionally for well over a decade. Since becoming a full-time writer, she's produced thousands of articles on topics ranging from Social Security to investing to real estate. Maurie’s areas of expertise include retirement planning, mortgages, consumer debt and Medicare. She also covers economic and retail news.
Maurie studied finance and creative writing at Binghamton University.
After working in finance and marketing earlier on in her career, she decided to combine her two areas of study into a full-time job with the goal of helping people understand complex financial terms and make more informed money-related decisions. Her background in user experience also helps her produce content that’s easily digestible.
When she's not busy working, Maurie enjoys hiking, reading, watching hockey and chasing after her dogs. And while she loves baking, she doesn’t cook nearly often enough.
