Welcome to the land of Kanjohlia!

Kanjohlia is a fictitious universe designed to help make personal finance fun and accessible.  The people of Kanjohlia are a lot like you and me; they work, play, and are often faced with important financial decisions.

The Cast:

He cares deeply for the Kanjohlians and tries his best to provide unbiased, healthy financial recommendations.

Mike and Millie: Having just moved to Kanjohlia last year, Mike and Millie are excited to become a part of the local community. Mike is a 37-year old Vice President at Kanjoh Manufacturing Group, and agreed to the relocation upon his promotion. Millie just turned 35, and recently got her dream job  teaching fourth graders at Kanjoh elementary. Together, they raise their two small children: 8-year old Jake and 5-year old Chloe. Mike and Millie lead busy lives, and are sometimes overwhelmed by the number of financial decisions they have to make. They often visit Joe Kanjoh for advice on mortgages, retirement planning, and saving for college.
