For the fall edition of CNN’s Savings Challenge, the network is launching a new feature that will let readers receive direct advice from a seasoned financial professional. Certified financial planner Douglas Boneparth, founder of Bone Fide Wealth, has agreed to field questions about saving, budgeting, debt reduction and wealth‑building strategies.
How to Participate
Anyone interested in improving their personal finances can submit a question through the online form linked in the original article. Submissions are open now and will be reviewed by Boneparth’s team. Selected questions may be featured in upcoming CNN pieces, giving readers a chance to see real‑world solutions applied to common money‑management challenges.
About Douglas Boneparth
Boneparth holds the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation and runs Bone Fide Wealth, a firm that helps individuals and families create customized financial plans. His expertise includes retirement planning, tax‑efficient investing, and strategies for paying down high‑interest debt while still building savings.
What Readers Can Expect
Answers will focus on practical steps that align with traditional family values and responsible stewardship of resources. Boneparth emphasizes the importance of living within one’s means, protecting the family’s financial future, and making decisions that reflect a commitment to personal liberty and the principles of hard work.
The Savings Challenge aims to provide clear, actionable guidance rather than complex jargon. Whether you’re a young professional just starting to save, a parent juggling household expenses, or a retiree looking to stretch limited income, the feature is designed to address a broad range of financial situations.
Why This Matters
In today’s economy, many households struggle to balance saving with debt repayment. By offering expert advice in a public forum, CNN hopes to empower families to take control of their finances, reduce reliance on high‑cost credit, and build a more secure future for the next generation.
Readers are encouraged to submit specific, detailed questions to get the most useful answers. Examples might include: how to prioritize paying off a credit‑card balance while contributing to an emergency fund, ways to reduce monthly expenses without sacrificing essential needs, or strategies for investing modest savings in a tax‑advantaged account.
Submit Your Question
To participate, visit the CNN Savings Challenge page and fill out the short form. The deadline for submissions aligns with the launch of the first article in the series, which will appear later this fall.
Stay tuned to CNN’s business and consumer sections for the upcoming answers and additional resources that will help families across the nation improve their financial health.
