Inside Consumer United :: Dan Marzinotto

Daniel Marzinotto joined Consumer United working full time as a Consumer United advocate showing the everyday consumer how to save on basic services. Marzinotto has developed great friendships and really appreciates what the company is doing for consumers.

When Marzinotto began, there were only seven employees. Now there are over 25. He quickly understood the concept of a start-up company and how vital each and every person's role is in the grand scheme. As a saver himself, Marzinotto believes Consumer United will help consumers band together online and recognize the importance of saving on necessities.

How does Marzinotto save money? By eating out less and buying weekly groceries and cooking at home. "I don't think people understand how much money they can save monthly by buying groceries," he says. Marzinotto sets a weekly budget. Setting a budget is key. "I categorize by necessities, personal spending and saving and investing. Save weekly or monthy and consider the money you save or invest lost. It's not called saving if you want to take from it consistently."

Marzinotto is an artist and focuses on oil painting. His style is realistic. He went to art school and learned an important lesson. Art, technology and Marzinotto do not mix. He is a fine artist, and that's that. He also likes to stay fit and maintains a weekly workout routine. Marzinotto runs 3 times a week, along with lifting, sit-ups and push-ups.
