When Savings Go Social

Have you ever wondered if there is a social network out there to talk with other people about finances? Stop wondering, because we've found it! We have recently come across a social network that provides that exact type of community to join. They share some of the same values that we strive to communicate to our clients on a daily basis! It is called WalletHub. We believe in the mission of this new and upcoming network so much in fact that we are going to sponsor them! This way they can continue to be a great tool for people to make better financial decisions.

By joining and reaching out to the community of individuals that come here for advice, financial experts not only can reach out to people who are seeking advice from them, but also establish credibility to members of the WalletHub community.
