Helping People
Day to Day
Great days include meeting people and sitting down with them, knee-to-knee, and showing them how to lower taxes, reduce and eliminate debt, and ensure their money is helping them to reach their goals and dreams. The financial literacy in the US is way too low and I am on a crusade to help spenders become savers. Those who wish to join me in my cause are welcome to lend themselves in the service of others, while improving their own finances at the same time.
