Why Money, Why Now?
Money touches every single aspect of your life, that's why.
It is my mission (which is far deeper than a passion) to build up your financial literacy so you feel confident in EVERY financial decision you come to.
Life is so much more than working 40+ hours a week and paying bills. It's about having fun, creating new experiences, and being present in each moment.
You may be wanting to
- eliminate debt
- grow your savings
- plan for your kids' future and/or your own retirement
- make your business profitable
- take a salary, or
- implement financial systems
I get it, it feels overwhelming when your paycheck doesn't seem to cover the basics let alone any thing additional.
Married, single, divorced, younger, wiser, with kids or without, business owner, or employee, the basics are the same. And those basics aren't taught in school.
So that's where I come in. To help you navigate this thing called FINANCES in a way that is simple, fun, and produces results quickly.
Now is the time because you don't deserve to put it off any longer.
