About Derrol Bugen

Hello and welcome to Real Life 101! I’m Derrol Bugen, the heart and soul behind this platform, where I share my journey and lessons in the realm of personal finance. While I may not be a financial expert, my passion for uncovering the intricacies of budgeting, saving, investing, and everything in between, drives me to learn more each day and share those discoveries with you.

My interst in personal finance isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the freedom and security that come with financial lietracy. It’s a journey of self-improvement that I embarked on not just for myself but to share with a community that values practical, real-life skills. My mission is to demistify the often complex world of finance, making it accessible and understandable for everyone.

But there’s more to me than just finance. I’m also a budding guitarist, finding joy in the strings and melodies as I navigate through the learning curves of music. This journey, much like my exploration of personal finance, is filled with its own set of challenges and achievements, each chord and note offering a metaphor for life’s financial ups and downs.

I belive in the power of sharing experiences. To me, “Experience is Free” is not just a saying; it’s a philosophy. It’s about the value of learning from each other, offereing advice, and supporting one another freely. Whether it’s a financial tip, a life lesson, or a simple chord progression, I’m here to share what I know, learn from you, and grow together.

Join me on this adventure at Real Life 101, where together, we’ll explore the practical skills needed to navigate life’s financail paths. Let’s empower ourselves to face the future with confidence, armed with knowledge, experience, and the support of a community that believes in sharing and growing together.
