Sean Cooper is a Toronto-based personal finance expert, best-selling author, journalist, speaker, and money coach known for paying off his mortgage at age 30, just three years after buying his home. His experience as a home buyer, landlord, and mortgage borrower informs his practical guidance on personal finance and real estate. His book, Burn Your Mortgage, offers accessible strategies to help new buyers and experienced homeowners pay down mortgages sooner, manage debt, and work toward financial independence without sacrificing the things they enjoy.
