Gina Freeman

Gina Freeman is a personal finance specialist with diverse experience as a credit systems consultant, tax accountant, bankruptcy paralegal, and mortgage loan officer. Her superpower is simplifying “boring” or intimidating topics, and her passion is helping consumers feel confident in their financial decisions. 

Gina understands desperate poverty and fear and will never talk down to those who need help. She has literally been there. 

“As a mortgage lender, I often spent more time teaching than selling. I found myself creating booklets, fliers, spreadsheets, and posters showing my clients how to pay less for what they need, increase their savings, improve their credit, and pay off debt. Today, I write because it’s a better way to reach more eyes and help more people.”
