Join us as we explore these inspirational journeys and practical tips to take control of your finances!

Key Topics:

Planning Irregular Income:

Shana shares about a lovely couple with a family timber business. They received significant checks a few times a year but struggled to manage the funds effectively.

Key Takeaway: Plan your money before it comes in. They allocated funds for taxes, travel, home, medical expenses, annual bills, and debt repayment.

Intentional Budgeting:

Vanessa emphasizes the importance of budgeting, no matter how big or small the income.

Key Takeaway: Intentional planning helps prevent money from slowly disappearing. Know where every penny is going.

Understanding Financial Products:

Shana's client was confused about a "credit builder" product she didn’t understand.

Key Takeaway: Don’t invest in or use financial products you don’t fully understand. Focus on managing debt to improve credit.

Building a Financial Cushion:

Vanessa talks about the importance of having a buffer in your bills account to avoid the feast-or-famine feeling.

Key Takeaway: Save up to a half-month’s worth of expenses to ensure all bills are covered comfortably.

No Judgment Zone:

We address the emotional aspect of financial coaching, emphasizing that there’s zero judgment here.

Key Takeaway: Focus on future goals and positive progress rather than past mistakes. Shame and regret are counterproductive.
