We are financial industry insiders who are not happy with the direction of our industry. We believe that the industry should provide you with the products and services that benefit you, first.  We are outraged that financial services owners are taking over 1/3 of all S&P 500 earnings--$215 billion in 2006 alone. Meanwhile, clients are being left with losses--$50 trillions were lost in 2008 due to greed and poor financial management.

We think you can do better yourself with a little help from our insiders who have 10 to 20 years experience in the industry. They are, or were, bankers, agents, brokers or advisors. Dan Keppel acts as our coordinator and editor. We provide the specific information to help you save on almost every financial service and product. You are better off learning how to buy only what you need even if you continue to use a middleperson.

If you do not feel comfortable on your own yet, we will provide full personal services by phone and email. This is our Membership service.
