Hi, my name is Michael — welcome to Michael Martinez Finance!
I created this site for two main reasons:
To build a resource and community for hustlers, travelers, and points enthusiasts who want to get smarter with money, maximize credit card rewards, and use points for travel.
To document my own journey in business, credit cards, travel hacking, investing, and personal finance as I continue learning and growing.
I’ve spent over five years working in corporate finance for a Fortune 500 company, managing budgets and learning firsthand how money flows inside large organizations. Outside of my 9–5, I’ve owned an ATM business and am now starting my real estate journey, closing on my first duplex to house hack.
I’ve always loved learning about credit cards, travel hacking, investing, and building businesses — and now I want to share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) with you.
Managing your own finances can feel overwhelming at times. My goal with this blog is to make it simple, actionable, and practical, so you can confidently take control of your money. Whether you’re here to:
Maximize credit card points and travel the world for less
Build a strong financial foundation with saving, budgeting, and investing strategies
- Learn from real stories of business, side hustles, and wealth-building
I know you’ll find helpful guides, tips, and insights to grow your wealth and live life on your terms.
I’m glad you’re here — let’s grow together and build something great.
— Michael
