About Me

I'm Patrick Di Cesare, founder of Basic Financial Literacy, a Personal Finance Expert and Content Creator with a community of over 600,000 followers across social media. My mission is straightforward: to simplify complex financial concepts into clear, actionable advice that empowers everyday people to make smarter money decisions, build wealth, and achieve financial freedom.

But my journey didn’t begin in personal finance. It started somewhere entirely different—as a firefighter. After years in the fire service, I realized there was one crucial area of my life I’d been neglecting: my financial future. Determined to change, I dove into everything I could find about budgeting, investing, and wealth-building. I learned the hard way, made mistakes, and ultimately developed a practical, repeatable system that works. Over the past four years, I’ve grown my own net worth through straightforward, effective financial strategies.

Today, as the founder of Basic Financial Literacy, my content reaches millions across social media, where I simplify complex financial topics into clear, actionable insights. My goal is always the same: educate, entertain, and empower others to take control of their financial lives.

Beyond creating content, I leverage my expertise to consult with brands, financial advisors, and wealth management firms, helping them harness the power of social media to attract high-quality leads, boost client acquisition, and drive measurable business growth. I specialize in crafting compelling strategies tailored to each client's unique audience and business objectives, turning online visibility into tangible results.

When I’m not consulting or creating content, you’ll find me skiing, traveling, or enjoying life on the East Coast with my wife.

If you’re a financial advisor, wealth management firm, or brand looking to elevate your social media presence and drive client growth, let’s connect—I’m here to help you achieve exceptional results.
