How to Protect What You Have

Are you worried about how today's economic conditions affect your household's spending? Are your savings at risk? Or are you merely wondering whether you should be worried?

We've been presenting seminars at companies that tell participants how to protect the money they have (http://freyermartin.com/employer_programs/staff.html). We believe it will be another six months before things stabilize to the point where people have some idea of what they have to work with going forward. Making a solid "longer"-term plan won't be possible until then.

Whether you're seriously concerned, or are wondering whether you should be, our expertise in day-to-day finances will help you make it through these times. Stay tuned as we share some of the information we share in our corporate seminars.

If you want faster, more personalized attention, we offer a special $195 private consultation that reviews your specific situation and helps you figure out how to protect your cash, and your creditm during these difficult times. We don't make any money from these. We just feel strongly that our expertise in this area can really help people who are concerned feel comfortable enough to make decisions that will carry them through the near future, and  let them sleep at night.

FreyerMartin COO Mentioned in Washington Business Journal

Some of you may have read in the 11/10/08 print edition of the Washington Business Journal that Joyce Nohowel was appointed COO of FreyerMartin. If you have online access to the WBJ, see her picture and the announcement at http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/potm/2008-11-10/.

Our press release announcing her appointment is at http://freyermartin.com/about/media.html.

As a bit of shameless self-promotion, Joyce is a perfect addition to our team. Her tenacity, attention to detail, and dedication to the client experience ensures all our behind-the-scenes operations live up to everything we say they are. She refuses to let anything slip. She is the perfect COO.

Please help me welcome Joyce to her new home. She's here to make sure our clients are always thrilled with their FreyerMartin relationships. We couldn't be in better hands.

We really enjoy sharing it with people who appreciate learning how to take better care of their personal financial standing and credit reports.
