"Wealth Enhancement Group was built on a foundation of educating people regarding your money. It's always been our goal to be the most helpful financial advisors on the air, and I think Chicagoans will benefit from our clear perspective, specialized knowledge and our ability to field questions in real time," added Peg Webb, Senior Vice President at Wealth Enhancement Group.
