The College Investor was founded in 2009 by Robert Farrington to help young adults and millennials get out of student loan debt to start investing and building wealth for the future. Farrington launched TheCollegeInvestor.com from his home in 2009, while finishing his MBA at the UC San Diego Rady School of Management. Being passionate about investing and personal finance, he wanted to connect with others who shared his passion. Not finding what he was looking for on campus, he created TheCollegeInvestor.com as a resource for young adults about money, covering topics from paying for college and escaping student loan debt, to investing their first dollars after graduation. The College Investor is currently read by over 1,5000,000 readers per month. With a focus on escaping student loan debt and learning how to build wealth, it is one of the largest websites that focuses on personal finance topics for millennials
