Give The Gift of Finanical Freedom This Holiday Season

Do you have a college grad that could use some financial guidance?   Or, maybe ways to stay on a budget or to start to invest and save those paychecks?  Do you and your hubby sometimes question your retirement or college planning?  Or do you simply just want to be better financially educated or want your financial questions asked?  Perhaps your elderly parents need some financial guidance during these crazy times…I worked with my sponsors, New Leaf Financial to offer gift certificates for their expertise…60 minutes of financial planning for only $150.  This offer is open to all including college students, and millennials!!!!  I love this idea and am so happy that we are able to bring this incredible offer to our readers.  For more information, please EMAIL New Leaf.
