Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

One of our single clients came to us with over $263,000 in debt.

💳 $3,000/month in minimum payments

💔 No savings

😩 Business and personal finances completely mixed

👉 But she was ready for change.

In just 7 months, here’s what she accomplished with our coaching and system:


🔥 Her Before:

  1. 💸 $263,000 in total debt

  2. 💳 $69,000 in non-mortgage debt

  3. 🧾 10 different loans (credit cards, RV, HELOC, debt consolidation, etc.)

  4. 💰 $3,000/mo in minimum debt payments

  5. 💼 Personal + business finances mixed

  6. 🚫 No emergency fund, no savings system

  7. 📉 Living paycheck to paycheck — despite a $7,500/month income


✅ Her After:

  1. 💥 $263K debt reduced

  2. 🧨 Minimum payments dropped from $3,000 ➡️ $1,200/month

  3. 💵 Saving $2,400/month for sinking funds

  4. 💡 Business + personal finances completely separated

  5. 🐶 Has dedicated savings for pets, travel, Christmas, home maintenance

  6. 🏡 Downsized to a condo, paid for all renovations in cash

  7. 📈 Net worth: $684,000

  8. ✨ Living on purpose, with peace and margin — not just reacting to her bank balance


💡 What She Did (Step by Step):

  1. ✅ Joined coaching for 7 months

  2. 🧠 Borrowed our belief until she had her own

  3. 🏦 Opened 13 accounts (bills, spending, savings, business, etc.)

  4. 🔁 Set up automatic transfers based on paycheck

  5. 📞 Called every creditor — reduced interest, deferred a car loan for a month

  6. 🔎 Canceled warranties + subscriptions

  7. 📉 Shopped all her insurances — saved $2,500/year (then another $5,600 when she moved)

  8. 🐄 Made a cow savings bucket 🐮 (we’re obsessed)

  9. 📋 Calculated her actual annual life costs

  10. 📊 Started using the retirement tab in our budget system

  11. 📆 Learned how to properly plan for 3-paycheck months

  12. 📱 Got organized — and finally felt in control of every dollar
