Choosing A Financial Professional
A credit counselor or money coach can help you set up a budget, review your expenses and track your spending so you can achieve your goals. These service providers usually do not provide investment advice or do comprehensive financial planning. Free assistance may be available through your installation family support center, Reserve or Guard center, a local non-profit consumer credit counseling service (nfcc.org (opens new window) (You will be leaving NCUA.gov and accessing a non-NCUA website. We encourage you to read the NCUA's exit link policies. (opens new page).) ), or online at Military OneSource (militaryonesource.mil).
Also, many credit unions offer free financial counseling services on installations. Check with your credit union or locate one through NCUA’s Credit Union Locator tool (opens new window).
