Aldo Haxhistasa works full time as a Consumer United advocate, helping the average person save money on basic services. Originally from Albania after moving to Philadelphia at 12-years-old, Haxhistasa graduated from Temple University in May 2009 with a business degree.Working at Consumer United, Haxhistasa enjoys interacting with a group of intelligent and motivated young co-workers who believe in what they do, adding that he enjoys “the fact that I talk to different people on a daily basis and not knowing what you might hear next.”
How does Haxhistasa save money? “I usually just give it to my girlfriend to put aside for me,” he jokes.
As far as financial advice, Haxhistasa says it's important to keep an eye on expenses. “There are only a few ways to save money but a million ways to spend it,” he adds.
When he’s not helping Consumer United members save money, Haxhistasa spends his downtown watching sports and hitting the beach. “Soccer was my favorite before I learned the game of football, which has now taken the lead. Summertime is usually time for the beach so if i have any sort of free time during the summer is usually being spent there.”
