About Ellis Vaughn

Ellis Vaughn is a freelance financial writer and money coach with a passion for helping ambitious readers achieve their first £100K—and beyond. With a background in Accounting and Finance and a day-to-day career in IT, Ellis combines practical knowledge with real-world experience to offer clear, actionable advice. In just seven years, Ellis grew net worth from £16K to over £227K, proving that consistent, strategic action pays off.

Inspired by financial legends like Charlie Munger, Ellis knows that the first 100K is the hardest—but also the most transformative. Through TheNext100K.com, Ellis shares a journey of growth, discipline, and consistent effort, aiming to educate and motivate readers to take control of their finances.

When not writing or coaching, Ellis enjoys exploring the worlds of sci-fi and fantasy through audiobooks, diving into personal finance books, and even indulging in the occasional quirky comic—like the superhero debt collector story received for a birthday (and yes, it was loved).

Ellis’s philosophy is simple: keep strategies straightforward, stay consistent, and focus on steady progress. With a mix of motivation, actionable guidance, and subtle humor, Ellis inspires readers to reach their financial milestones, one step at a time.
