A Jewel of Financial Tools

In today’s age of information abundance, it’s often said that you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet. This truth means that it can be difficult to find accurate answers to some of your most important questions, like those related to your finances. Fortunately, an agency called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) exists to help protect the interests of financial consumers through the process of empowerment, enforcement and education. Today, we highlight a few of the reliable tools the CFPB has to offer and encourage you to share this resource with those looking for trusted financial information.

Referrals are the Greatest Compliment

Clients and referral sources have often told us that they hesitate to make a referral because they don’t know if friends, relatives, or coworkers meet our minimums or would otherwise be a good fit. Our message is that we are Financial Planning Evangelists^® and would like to see everyone who seeks advice find a competent, ethical financial planner. Thus, we’re happy to talk to ANYONE who is referred to us and if, for whatever reason, we find that we’re not a good fit, we will work to match them up with an experienced financial planner who is.

If you know someone who may be interested in talking with us, please ask them to contact Lauren@YeBu.com or send Lauren the individual’s name and contact information so we may connect with them to set-up an initial meeting. We thank you for the continued trust you show in us by referring your friends, family, and colleagues so that we can help them to harness their financial resources to pursue exquisite, fulfilling lives.
