This week’s featured user – Goonhilda
There’s a saying that if you can make friends with a plumber, an electrician, a doctor, a mechanic and a lawyer you’ll save a lot of money in your lifetime. One of the great things about Answers is that it connects you to all these types of people and one more – who is this week’s featured user.
Goonhilda is a top contributor in the Personal Finance category, has amassed close to five thousand points and has made it to level four since joining the Answers community around three months ago. A resident of Shepparton in Central Victoria, she is a self confessed “tight arse” who describes herself as a bargain queen, is intent on paying off her house within five years and loves it when other people get excited about their money.
Personal Finance is Goonhilda’s favourite hobby and she keeps up to date on the topic by reading anything she can get her hands on about the topic. The knowledge she has gathered has enabled her to help other users with their financial difficulties and questions, be they about how to invest their savings, putting a little bit of extra cash away each week, saving to reach specific goals or paying off a car loan when times get tough. Goonhilda always offers constructive advice and ideas to other users and they are all so grateful that she has helped them get out of their financial pickle!
In her own words –
“I think Yahoo!7 Answers is great. I like the question and answer format, and I enjoy the opportunity it provides for intellectual stimulation. It’s great mental exercise. I also love giving answers and advice to people who really seem to need it. Money can be a scary thing for some people, and I hope I make it not as scary. Sometimes all people need is a little information or someone to crunch some number for them. Sometimes a little humour helps people put things in perspective.”
Goonhilda’s one complaint comes via her “very spoilt pet rabbit” who lives indoors and has never been outside, and is disappointed there isn’t a category for rabbits! Sorry about that Mr Bunnikins – we’ll see what we can do.
And thanks Goonhilda for your great contributions – keep it up!
