Michael Timmermann

Personal finance writer and founder of MichaelSaves.com

My passion is helping people save money and that’s what I’ve been doing professionally for more than a decade.

I began writing about money back in 2010. Prior to going full-time with Michael Saves, I was the Director of Content and Senior Writer for Clark.com. I also produced TV segments for Clark Howard earlier in my career while working for CNN's sister network, HLN. My money tips have been featured on major websites like NBCNews.com and CNN.com.

Whether you want to cut the cable TV cord, find a cheap cell phone plan or explore affordable internet options, you’ll find plenty of ways to lower your monthly bills on my website.

MichaelSaves.com and my YouTube channel provide reviews that you can actually trust. When I test a product or service, I purchase it with my own money and thoroughly test it out before publishing a review. My goal is to lay out the pros and cons in a simple way to help you make an informed decision before buying. Learn more about me and my review process here.

To receive updates when I post new content, subscribe to my free weekly newsletter! You can also follow Michael Saves on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube.
