About Us

Welcome To The Free Financial Advisor!

We’re happy you’ve joined our little community of like-minded people: those who want an objective, straightforward advice that streamlines your life and that you can implement now. You won’t get the popular but silly “don’t buy a latte” advice (did anyone ever get rich avoiding Starbucks or by clipping coupons? You won’t have to listen to the guy on the radio mix politics, religion, and financial advice. No more waiting for the woman on television to wag that ugly finger at another person with credit card debt. Really. Why do people call in to be treated like that?

We’ll sometimes point the finger toward “professional” advice that doesn’t make sense. That, and we’ll point you toward honest advice that works.
