There’s no government plan to pay for your life if you didn’t save enough. And if there is… One, I’m not sure it’s enough, two, I’m not sure it’ll be there.

Chris Hutchins is a an avid life hacker, financial optimizer and host of the top ranked podcast All the Hacks, where I share my quest to upgrade my life without having to spend a fortune. These passions have led me to being featured in a documentary on Financial Independence called Playing with Fire and collecting millions of points and miles.

He's also the Head of New Product Strategy at Wealthfront, where I’m focused on making products to help people build wealth through investing. I joined the company after my startup Grove was acquired in 2016

I’ve been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and CNBC. Previously, I was an investor at Google Ventures, co-founded Milk (acquired by Google) and built an organization called LaidOffCamp.
