Our Founder
Welcome to Bliss and Budget!
I'm Andrew Larsen, and I'm absolutely thrilled to have you join us here.
The reason I've created this platform is because I've identified a significant gap in the financial landscape, and I'm on a mission to fill it. With a background in finance, a Master's degree in the field, and nearly a decade of experience as a Financial Advisor in a Fortune 500 company in the US, I've managed almost 50 million dollars in client assets. Through this journey, a recurring theme became evident: the connection between personal happiness and financial success.
In today's society, we're bombarded with a list of life goals that we're expected to achieve quickly. From finding love, owning our dream homes, starting families, exploring the world, becoming debt-free, and so much more—all while maintaining happiness throughout. It's a daunting challenge, particularly when trying to achieve it with minimal stress and at a young age. But here's the good news: with the right tools and guidance, it's entirely possible.
In my own life, I've been fortunate enough to buy and sell four homes, engage in short-term rentals, explore luxury car rentals, invest in property abroad, enjoy a decade of marriage, raise two beautiful daughters (with a third on the way), and travel the world extensively—all by the time I reached my 30s. Now, I want to share the insights and tips that have allowed me to achieve both personal and financial success. Join me on this journey to discover the keys to relationship and financial bliss.
"Unfortunately, my company was unable to offer any temporary work-from-abroad solutions, despite its claims of being family-oriented."
When I embarked on my career path as a Financial Advisor in 2014, I was eager to discover what lay ahead. My wife and I were starting out and staying at my parent's home. However, only a few months into my career, life threw us a curveball. My wife was already pregnant with our first daughter when my father had a heart attack, leaving him pale and ghost-like as he knocked on our bedroom door in the middle of the night. He was rushed to the hospital and had a stent put in, which saved his life by mere minutes. Meanwhile, my mother was battling stage four breast cancer and undergoing chemotherapy treatments. She beat cancer and has been eight years cancer free.
Unfortunately her best friend who was there during my mother's year from hell, good friend of our family, was diagnosed with stomach cancer, received improper chemo treatment and passed away just a few months after her diagnosis.
Shortly thereafter, my wife and I embarked on a challenging journey of several rounds of IVF treatment in Thailand, her home country. Balancing the emotional rollercoaster of this process with the demands of managing my financial business from afar was no small feat. Unfortunately, my company was unable to offer any temporary work-from-abroad solutions, despite its claims of being family-oriented. This left me with no choice but to navigate the uncharted waters of unemployment while ensuring our family's well-being and preparing to welcome a new addition to our lives without disrupting our lifestyle
These emotional events taught us that life is fragile and unpredictable and that every moment should be treasured. Spending time with your loved ones is essential, as the unthinkable can happen to anyone. While I enjoyed my work and liked helping my clients achieve their long-term financial goals, I was forced to take a new path.
"When life gives you lemons, trade them for oranges and make something entirely unexpected!"
In the face of these tumultuous, emotionally charged, and financially unsettling experiences, we firmly believe that there's a purpose behind every twist of fate. We've consistently fortified ourselves, not only in terms of our financial resilience but also in our emotional strength, ready to confront any unforeseen circumstances that come our way.
I'm still passionate about educating people, that's why I started Bliss and Budget - a platform that empowers couples to balance love and finances easily.
