My name is Lorraine Ell

I’m the CEO of Better Money Decisions (B$D) and co-author of the blog Better Financial Decisions. As a principal of B$D, I’m excited to continue my long career as an investment professional which started when I worked in the 1980s as an advisor with Drexel, Burnham and Lambert and J.W. Charles and as co-owner of a Registered Investment Advisory firm.

Living and working in places as diverse as Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Budapest, and Hungary has given me a unique perspective on the world of investing. Through these experiences I have learned that life can change in an instant and having a financial guide can make all the difference between a retirement fraught with worry and one with peace of mind.
