All things Personal Finance and Community College

Welcome

Welcome to ProfessorHeath.com — a hub for community college students, cycle breakers, and anyone trying to take control of their finances, their future, and their story.

This site is all about real-world personal finance and educational empowerment — with no fluff, no judgment, and no “perfect path” required. Whether you're just starting college, trying to rebuild after setbacks, or figuring out how to turn your skills into income, you’ll find tools, tips, and tough conversations here.

We cover:

    •    How to navigate community college and transfer successfully

    •    What school doesn’t teach about credit, debt, and investing

    •    Ways to leverage education into real financial freedom

    •    Honest advice from guests and everyday people on the Money Misfits podcast

    •    Lessons from my journey — from dropout to CPA, professor, and financial consultant

If you’re looking for relatable stories, actionable financial guidance, and a place where being a “misfit” is a strength, you’re in the right place.

Inside Scoop

People are talking.
Luckily, it's all good stuff.

Professor Heath is an AWESOME teacher. You'll love his textbook “F*** You Money,” and he teaches you real world stuff that will greatly benefit you. Not that much homework each week, and his lectures are fire.

After passing CPA exams, I wanted to learn Finance, so I started taking Professor Heath's Personal Financial Planning course and this book was requirement of the course. I wish I knew this book years ago!! So much to learn and very easy to understand with realistic examples even though there are a lot of technical terms and concepts. The contents of this book really help to analyze personal financial issue so that we can make a plan to change it. I highly recommend to start from this book if you think you are beginner of finance.

Do yourself a favor and take all your accounting classes with Professor Heath. He is an absolute legend, and he provides a very unique and authentic way of teaching. To say he's an inspiration is an understatement. If you take his class, you will learn so much not just about accounting but about who you are as a person.
