Jackson Smith

Founder of Payday Path

I'm Jackson Smith, a senior at the University of Kentucky studying finance and accounting.

I created Payday Path to help people make practical plans for everyday decisions. Turn your take-home pay into a clear monthly plan. See your bills, build a cushion, and give your goals a place in your budget.

Three projects. One practical purpose.

These ventures are part of Greedcrest, the umbrella brand I founded.

I founded FirstKey, Payday Path, and GatherTrip to help with apartment decisions, paycheck planning, and group travel. Each focuses on useful tools that turn a collection of details into a clearer next step.

Start with the amount actually deposited after deductions. Convert that amount to an average month, list your bills, and leave room for flexible expenses. A monthly average is useful for planning, but it is different from the cash available on a specific date.
