Protecting the public one article at a time through education and awareness

As a single mom raising two children alone it became all too aparent early on that reading the fine print on any purchase or service agreement was not only a wise decision but one that could save me thousands in unnecessary expenses over the years. I became a consumer advocate out of necessity of survival.

There is no "guide" out there that will make you aware of the risks of buying online, or how to hire a reputable contractor, or what warranties, plans, extended warranties, etc. are really worth buying, or even what a hidden disclaimer is.

I needed to know how to protect my limited income while being respected as a consumer - and if I needed to know, odds are YOU need to know too (and you have a right to know).

The following articles I wrote based on my personal research and/or based on personal first hand experience. I welcome feedback, corrections, clarifications, questions and suggestions as I continue sharing this essential information with you.
