Mark Martella- Improving Performance and Culture through Financial Education
In this introductory video, Mark explains why the workplace is the only opportunity for most employees to learn how to get control of their personal finances and why it's in an employers best interests to provide it.
Over 60% of America’s workers are under financial stress at home. While no one likes to talk about it, this stress is affecting the productivity, profitability and performance in the workplace. When it comes to healthcare, where the stakes are so high, this elephant can no longer be ignored as a distracted health care provider can lead to tragic results.
An AON Hewitt Employer survey of 250 large companies found that that 93% plan to start or enhance their financial literacy training in the workplace. However, this training must go beyond retirement planning.
Based upon my 30 years of experience as a consumer bankruptcy attorney and dealing with thousands of individuals and families who have gone through the gauntlet of financial devastation, I can share actionable steps that can be taken right away to help health care professionals and support teams reduce their financial stress and design a plan of financial freedom so their focus is always on the best interests of their patients.
“I feel so much happier and sleep better. I had no idea what this process would do for me but I can tell you I am so much more confident in myself. Had I not taken action, I would be struggling today with making minimum payments and digging myself further in debt.” - Kathleen Hewes, Florida
“We have found Mark’s seminars to be exceptional in their content and delivery.” Linda Pizarro, CEO, PG-PC-NP Association Realtors

  • @williammeyer8263
    @williammeyer8263 2 роки тому

    Protecting members means policies, products and decisions that do their best to serve the greater community, common bond, etc. It's a Coop, meaning savers, like Suzie are funding loans , say a car loan to Bob. If Bob does not pay his car loan then he is putting Suzie's savings at risk. Therefore, the CU has a responsibility to protect the assets of Suzie and other members and trying their best to help Bob when times are tough. End of day, risk management is not always pleasant to everyone. Credit Unions are most always the better alternative. Ask Kanye West who just got dumped by his big bank because he said something they didn't like. Keep it local - community banks or better yet, a CU

  • @BKsn00py
    @BKsn00py 2 роки тому

    It sounds to me protecting members is a good idea. Why should those who pay their bills be included with those who over spend and can't pay their credit card bills. It was their choice to build up a big balance and pay just a little each month. Pay off your credit card each month and you will do great in life. Pay down before you spend more. Don't buy more than you can afford. I like the idea that a credit union can pay a higher interest on savings and if some deadbeat over spends more then he or she can pay, they pay with their savings to keep the Credit Union in the green for it's members.

    We rent to own everything else. Cars, appliances, clothes, It is simply credit without good credit. etc. At the rent a centers. They did America a big favor by extending credit to people who don't have good credit. When you pay high interest rates at a Rent A Center you're simply paying them for giving you credit when you don't deserve it. And there you have it!!

I said exactly how much do I owe? They told me how much so I transferred money to cover it then a week later it happens again when I haven't spent a dime since then. Very frustrating.

    • @JosephLayden

      If you have agreed to pay a loan and you have money in a savings account you should pay your loan as agreed, not hodl your depreciating fiat while your credit score falls. That's like buying stock instead of paying the rent. For auto loans,just use a different card during the 3 year term.

    There are several erroneous comments in this video, including the blanket statement that a credit card issued by a credit union would be secured by your savings account. Credit Unions generally offer credit builder or repair loans and cards that ARE secured by your savings account, but those are specific-purpose products that are clearly disclosed. The member concept is not a "fiction" as you state.

    This guy is providing a lot of misinformation about credit unions. When credit unions have a new product or service to offer, they explain everything to you as they are making the offer, and when it comes to credit cards with credit unions, they are not secured by your car loan, unless YOU want it to be, however they are secure by the amount of money you have in your checking accounts, and they will NEVER take money out of them to pay your credit card without YOUR permission. And unlike banks, credit unions are more flexible when it comes to paying any of your debts, car loans, mortgages, credit cards, etc. Also keep this in mind, some banks have credit in their name, but they are not credit unions, just regular banks.
