US News & World Report: “Where to Find Free Professional Financial Advice”

August 17, 2021, US News & World Report – In today’s article by Susannah Snider, she writes: “To find free financial advice from a money professional, Americans can turn to a number of resources. Pro bono providers range from the Financial Planning Association to the federal Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program and the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. That should be welcome news for the millions of Americans who continue to be stressed about the state of their personal finances. For many, COVID-19 has disrupted their source of income, resulting in mounting debt, unpaid mortgage or rent, and the inability to fund emergency expenses such as medical bills.”

Susannah turned to Marguerita Cheng, CFP® Pro for advice.

Rita explains: “The need for financial advice is great,” noting the three most frequently asked questions she’s heard since the COVID-19 crisis erupted in March 2020 are:

  1. How do I file for unemployment benefits
  2. How do I manage my cash flow, including which bills to pay
  3. Which of my financial resources can I tap for money?
