Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Your personal finance coach should help you identity your immediate needs, your future goals, and your "problem spending". In our first month together, I will give you a special tool to help you track your spending so you can understand what is going on with YOUR finances. A good personal finance coach will offer key insights related to your circumstances: are you getting married, divorced, changing jobs, have young children, children in college, etc. The most important aspect of a personal finance coach is the emphasis on "personal". It's all about your life and goals, not your neighbor's life and goals. See my audio: Why Financial Envy is a Waste of Time
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I am an author, speaker and coach. I worked for many years as a mortgage broker and helped hundreds of clients with all types of credit situations and mortgage needs.
I have always been amazed at the way people handle their money. I started my career as a bank teller in an affluent area. Many of my customers wore designer clothes and drove prestigious cars, but were also on the overdraft list. As a young person with my first real job, I wanted to establish my own credit. I made of game of maintaining as many credit cards as possible – my high was 27 credit cards!
My game was a financial disaster. My experiences taught me that poor financial decisions can cause credit problems that affect us for years.
My years of experience in the banking / mortgage industry, combined with my ability to share my expertise in a friendly yet professional manner make me a sought-after Personal Finance Education Expert with the ability to make financial information fun. I use real world examples, providing accurate information and practical advice that anyone can immediately put into action. I am also the author of the weekly financial advice e-zine Quick Tips and the Norwalk Hour business column Jill Foster’s Thursday Tips. Both my e-zine and column are designed to educate people on financial terms and expressions and provide advice on personal finance. My websites are www.JillRussoFoster.com and www.CashCreditandYourFinances.com.
