Romans joined CNN Business News from Reuters in 1999, spending a number of years reporting on the opening bell from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She anchored on CNN’s financial network tracking the market’s boom through the late 1990s to 9/11.

Romans has written three books: Smart is the New Rich: If You Can’t Afford it—Put it Down (2010), How to Speak Money (2012), and Smart is the New Rich Money Guide for Millennials (March 2015).
