QUOTES

“You’re faced with financial decisions every day – how to earn it, save it, spend it, and share it. But most Americans have not been shown how; as a result, many families are struggling financially. That’s why my wife Jean and I founded Edelman Financial Services in 1987 – to help people take control of their personal finances, and their financial future.”
