What to Take Away from These Ask the Expert Videos
Ask the Expert videos offer general information and tips that are great for giving you a basic understanding of a particular financial topic. However generalized advice should never be substituted for personalized assistance when it comes to your money and debt.
In the Ask the Expert series, people ask a lot of really good questions and sometimes it’s hard to give an answer that works for everyone. Everybody’s situation is different so the best advice I can give is:
Ask these questions to your counselor after you’ve already talked to them about your specific situation. I’ll do the best I can to give the general answer to the questions that are being asked, but you will get a more specific answer from your counselor after they know what your situation is.”
