Personal finance educator and content creator
The engineer-turned-finance educator relies on the reMarkable Paper Pure to sketch out complex systems and make them easy to understand.
Meet Gabriel Nussbaum
Based in London and holding a Master’s degree in Engineering, Gabriel Nussbaum is a personal finance educator and the content creator behind Instagram platform, That Money Guy.
Gabriel left his corporate career in 2022 to focus on democratizing financial knowledge and breaking down overcomplicated topics for a global audience.
Stay in the zone
A brain for ideas
“My brain is for coming up with ideas, not storing them. If I don’t capture my thoughts immediately, they’re gone. I use my tablet to get everything out every morning, from to-do lists to content concepts. It adds instant focus and stops my brain from trying to store all the chaos.”
No apps, no pop ups, no notifications.
Escaping digital noise
“Distractions are everywhere in my life as a content creator — computers and phones are full of noise. I love taking it into a different room where nothing else can reach me. It’s a game-changer to have a tool that stays silent until my work is actually done.”
Gabriel Nussbaum tends to think in diagrams. He says, “You can’t type your way to a big decision or a brand strategy, you have to sketch it. It’s like an infinite whiteboard where I can visually map out funnels and content flows — that’s the key to unlocking how my ideas actually connect.”
The art of note-taking
Finance on one page
“My mission is to show that money is simple. I’ve always said I could put everything you need to know about finance on one page. My paper tablet helps illustrate that simplicity, like sketching compound interest curves, I can share directly with my audience.”
The benefits of going paperless
Organized, in one place
“I’m obsessed with systems, but my 10+ notebooks were a mess of ‘controlled chaos’. And there’s no search bar in a paper notebook,” he explains. “Switching to folders and tags has been amazing. I finally have one organized home for my thoughts — and my wife is thrilled the clutter is gone.”
By choosing to scribble during meetings instead of typing, Gabriel finds he can communicate in real-time. “It shows you’re on the same wavelength and really listening,” he reflects. It’s about removing that digital barrier and replacing it with something far more valuable. Genuine human connection.”
