His last day at CNBC is Wednesday, July 5. He starts at RealClearLife on July 10.

“I’m grateful to Jim Pavia, CNBC’s money editor, who brought me back for a second tour,” said Anderson in an email to Talking Biz News. “It was a pleasure to work with an amazing group of all-stars, including Sharon Epperson, Katie Young, Kelli Grant, Jessica Dickler, Darla Mercado and Rick Levinson.

Anderson has been with CNBC.com since July 2016. He also wrote personal finance for the site from February 2015 to October 2015.

“I’ve covered personal finance for more than a decade,” said Anderson. “It’s time to try something new. I’m tremendously excited to lead RealClearLife’s talented team as we explore the best in culture, entertainment and sports for our fast-growing community.”
