About Erik
Erik Edgington is an office manager at Consumers Credit Union, a role he has held for about ten years, and he has worked in banking since 2010. He is also a financial educator and small-business owner. Working in a credit union has shown him how everyday financial decisions—and the systems behind them—can shape a person’s opportunities, resilience, and long-term security.
Erik’s approach to money begins with a simple principle: build a strong foundation, then build upon it. He believes lasting financial progress starts with practical fundamentals such as managing cash flow, controlling debt, establishing savings, and setting clear goals. Once those pieces are in place, individuals and families can pursue larger opportunities with greater confidence.
A personal perspective on financial resilience
Erik’s perspective is also personal. After his father passed away at age 48, Erik was raised by a single mother. That experience taught him early that managing money is not merely about numbers—it is about creating stability, navigating uncertainty, and using limited resources intentionally to accomplish meaningful goals.
Business ownership and side income
As a small-business owner, Erik has learned how entrepreneurship and side income can become powerful tools for reaching financial goals. He understands the discipline required to build a business, manage competing priorities, and use additional income strategically rather than simply allowing expenses to grow.
