Brendan Fallon works full time as a Consumer United advocate, helping the average person save money on basic services.Working at Consumer United, Fallon enjoys interacting with a group of intelligent and motivated young co-workers who believe in what they do, and the goals of the company. "It's refreshing to work with people who care about their jobs and the consumers we help," he says.
How does Fallon save money? "I try to save money by enjoying many of the free activities in and around Boston. Nothing beats a concert or movie at the half shell during the summer." He also shops at clearance sales, but makes sure never to buy anything at first sight. Fallon frequently checks up on products online in order to take advantage of sales.
What is Fallon's favorite personal finance advice? "Finance is all about balance. Yes, you should save for the future but not to the extremes that cut into the quality of life you live. It is important to be prepared for retirement, but you should also have fun along the way."
A Boston University graduate, Fallon enjoys visiting museums, reading the New Yorker, watching VH1 reality television and taking advantage of Boston's night life.
