United First Financial has a one-time fee. What is there to retain? Once someone has flushed their $3,500 down the toilet with UFF, of course they&#8217;re going to keep using it.

You&#8217;re trying to make it seem like a recurring service like an insurance policy, for which a consumer re-ups monthly, quarterly, or yearly. There is nothing to retain with UFF.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;You&#8217;re only criticizing United First Financial because we&#8217;re selling this service. Dave Ramsey sells a program too!
