Joseph Reinke got his start working in investments. During the runup to the mortgage market meltdown, he noticed that most of the professionals in the field didn’t understand the basics. Consequently, they would take truly absurd risks. He also noticed a segmentation problem in the financial arena that makes it hard for average Americans to get the help they need in order to make good money-related decisions. He saw young people graduating with student loan debt that equals, on average, twice what they can expect to gross in a full year of work. This bleak situation inspired him to start FitBUX, a company that provides educational resources, tools, and personal coaching to help graduates take control of the student loan debt that threatens their dreams for the future. In this interview, Joseph explains how FitBUX combines individualized financial analysis with wise strategies to help people find the best approach to manage their student loan debt and reach their goals.
