Peter Dunn was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and demonstrated an early interest in finance. By the time he graduated from Hanover College in 2000, he had obtained his Series 7 stockbroker’s license. Straight out of college at the age of 20, Dunn began his career in the financial services industry, starting at MetLife Securities. Two years later, in 2002, he transitioned from MetLife to Allstate Financial Services and concurrently founded Advanced Planning Solutions Inc. His initial work focused on educating individuals on essential money management skills, including budgeting, cash flow management, and debt reduction, foundational elements for effective financial planning.
Dunn received the moniker “Pete the Planner” in 2004, which subsequently became his public persona. In 2006, he authored his first book, “What Your Dad Never Taught You About Budgeting.” This publication led to regular appearances on WISH-TV (CBS) as “Pete’s Money Tips.” In May 2008, Dunn launched his radio program, “Skills Your Dad Never Taught You with Pete the Planner,” which aired on 1430 AM WXNT Indianapolis and was also made available as a weekly podcast on iTunes. His expertise also extended to national radio, where he was a regular guest on “Your Time with Kim Iverson.” In 2008, he created Green Candy, a financial assessment site specifically for Generation Y, aimed at guiding younger generations to avoid common financial pitfalls. This initiative further amplified his media presence on channels like Fox News and Fox Business Network.
Throughout his career, Dunn has been a prolific author and speaker. In February 2009, in collaboration with Raquel Richardson, he developed the “60 Days to Change” financial curriculum, which was adapted into a weekly news series by WISH-TV (CBS). The program followed three families through the curriculum and was later distributed to multiple CBS affiliates. Inspired by its success, Dunn published the book “60 Days to Change: A Daily How-To Guide with Actionable Tips for Improving Your Financial Life” in November 2009. He coined the phrase “the earliest money is the best money” in 2011, emphasizing the significance of compounding interest. In 2021, Dunn launched “Hey Money,” a subscription-based financial advice service, continuing his commitment to making financial guidance accessible.
