Community Champion Organization
Personal Finance Expert Feigenbaum Associates
Personal Finance Expert Feigenbaum Associates has a mission that extends beyond simply delivering financial education – the organization is a true community champion. Led by its founder and Managing Member, Barry Feigenbaum, this company makes genuine community impact by distributing financial wellness resources and raising awareness about the movement across New Jersey and around the country.
Feigenbaum ensures that his business dedicates its efforts to helping people build vital personal finance capability, while avoiding ever selling or promoting products. In particular, the company’s initiatives reach older adults with retirement planning courses and younger adults with lifetime savings education. However, everyone can benefit from the organization’s resources and outreach. Feigenbaum Associates seeks to forge strategic partnerships, amplify the financial wellness message, and meet individuals where they are to raise financial health at the community level.
Company History
Barry Feigenbaum established Feigenbaum Associates to reach as many different audiences as possible in order to provide personal financial education. There are never any product sales – just clear, unbiased financial information so people can make the best choices for their lives. Barry has 45 years of financial service industry experience that he wants to use to benefit his community; he has seen the impact of financial crises and uncertainty on families and believes we can use education to change lives.
At every stage of our journey, there are decisions we must make if we are to control our own destiny. Early in life, decisions about spending vs. savings begin; this is a period of developing budgeting habits. During mid-life we balance the needs of family, whether parents or children, with our own needs. In our later work lives, we increase focus on retirement planning. And in our autumn years, we manage both our resources – so they can last a lifetime – and our inevitable healthcare costs.
Feigenbaum Associates has programs that describe these stages and identify the choices we should analyze to address the uncertainties of life. Barry goes wherever the people are – the workplace, universities, social welfare agencies, or government organizations. People want help to decipher their financial puzzles in a safe, sales-free environment. People want to be empowered to make the best choices they can. This is the role Feigenbaum Associates has carved out for itself in its community.
By participating in the NJFEC Advisory Board, Feigenbaum Associates can join so many like-minded educators who understand that more avenues must be created or strengthened so people have access to the information they need to manage their financial lives. We need to meet the people where they are and join forces with the institutions of society in order to deliver this knowledge in a seamless, visible, supportive, and readily available way.
