George has been investing in stocks since 1992 and founded DripInvesting.org, the foremost authority on dividend investing (acquired in 2022 by Moneyzine). He began his investing journey late, realising he was behind in saving money for retirement and seeing an oncoming threat of college expenses for his two children. What seemed destined for failure was soon followed by success upon realising the advantages of long-term dividend investing. Aside from DripInvesting.org, George has held a role as a weekly contributing author at The Motley Fool, writing numerous articles about dividend investing.
