Inside Consumer United :: Muhammed Latif

Muhammed Latif currently works at Consumer United as a life insurance specialist, providing detailed life insurance consultations to our members. Born in London and raised in Los Angeles, Latif moved to Boston to attend college at Boston University.

Since Latif came aboard in December 2009, he witnessed the company grow immensely and launch new products and services, like the life insurance division he is currently working in. When asked what he loves most about his job, Latif answered, “I really enjoy working with the people we have here in the office, but mostly I love helping people save money and find the right insurance products."

As for financial advice, Latif cautions against senseless spending on unnecessary goods. “Spend within your limits because people appreciate who you are, not what you have."

To save money, Latif harnesses the power of the internet to search for deals and discounts. He recommends shopping online because it helps him compare the prices of different products and services and find bargains on new and used goods.

In his free time, Latif is an avid Lakers fan and enjoys watching basketball, listening to music, and traveling the world. “My goal in life is to visit at least 20 other countries. So far, I've visited six different countries."
