Customizable Plans that Work for YOU

Budgeting and money management strategies are not a one-size-fits-all type of “thing”. Ya know? 

Your situation is unique to YOU which is why working with me means we will collaborate together until we tune into just the right steps to take towards meeting your goals, whatever they are.

  1. Creating a budget from scratch

  2. Tweaking an existing budget to make it work for your individual set of circumstances

  3. Learn how to come together on finances as a couple

  4. Reducing or eliminating debt

  5. Grow a savings account or building a savings from scratch

  6. Brainstorming strategies to plan for large purchases like a home, car or vacation

  7. Navigating the nuances of a fluctuating income, which makes planning more difficult

  8. Ditching your 9-5 to start a business of your own

WHY HIRE A COACH?

Working with a coach drastically increases your chances of success. According to Charles Schwab, those who plan their finances in writing with intention have a higher percentage of success than those who don’t, and the numbers are sobering:

Have an emergency fund: 65% vs. 33%

Aware of credit card &/or banking fees: 71% vs 45%

$0 credit card balance & are able to make on-time payments: 47% vs. 29%

Yep. It happened to me too.

You’re not the only one….

You might be feeling shame and reluctance about your current financial situation.

As a grown adult I was in the same predicament. Bills were out of control (because my spending habits were - well, not great), not to mention the fact I was about to be a single mother.

With no savings, no income, no stable housing and baby on the way, I was in real financial turmoil.

And I was stressed. Like - really, stressed. Thank fully, I was able to negotiate with my credit card companies to decrease the interest rates, which made monthly payments more affordable. 

I was able to get ahead just enough to dig myself out of the hole. Once I saw my situation starting to improve, some things increased, while others decreased:

DECREASED =  CREDIT CARD BALANCES (WIN!)

INCREASED =  SAVINGS ACCOUNT  (WIN!)

DECREASED = STRESS LEVEL  (WIN!)

Over 30 years has passed since that time and I now have an education in insurance and personal money management.
