Since Pennywise began last fall, I’ve moved at my credit union from a role in which I worked one-on-one with members to one in which I coordinate our social media presence. Our goal is to be the one-stop-shop finance experts for our members—which means, part of my new job description has been seeking out the best advice and resources in the Twitterverse and sharing them with our followers.
Turns out, there’s some pretty awesome experts out there, specializing in everything from investing advice to living on a budget. If you’re looking for a constant stream of wise money posts, check out a few of my favorite finance feeds on Twitter.
