I help YOU find the financial services that fit your lifestyle. I have found that the products offered by securities firms, insurers, banks and advisors are NOT the best for you. I show you which are best in my books, beginning with The Insiders' Guides to Buying Discount Financial Services: Buy Direct and Save $3,000 Every Year. I show you how, what and where to buy financial products like industry insiders do--directly from the highest-rated companies for less. I provide information on the best buys in financial services in my weekly Alerts, blog and in my topic-specific books. See my Amazon Author Page.
I offer personal coaching, on a sliding fee scale, usually by phone and email in case you have questions in your process of becoming financially independent.
