Winning the Rat Race
Take Control of Your Money and Your Future
Practical, real-world guidance on personal finance, credit, debt management, tax savings, and wealth building—for anyone who feels trapped by rising costs and mounting debt.
Who We Are
Real Experience, Real Results
My name is Donell Edwards, and this blog is dedicated to helping everyday people take control of their money and their future. Our mission is to promote financial literacy through practical, real-world guidance on personal finance, credit, debt management, tax savings, and wealth building.
I’m not a financial guru. I’m a business graduate with an MBA from the University of Hard Knocks—and life has taught me lessons no classroom ever could. This blog exists to challenge how you think about money, inspire smarter spending habits, and help you build a personal cash economy.
Winning the Rat Race is for anyone who feels trapped by rising costs, mounting debt, and an economy that never seems to work in their favor—regardless of income, background, or life stage.
