I work with couples who are generally in one of two situations. They come to me being very successful at work but finding their household finances difficult or as beginning to join their finances and wanting to get started on the right foot. Budgeting should be a partnership, and when my wife and I got started budgeting together we had a lot of growth to do. As we worked through the emotional challenges and the logistical challenges of combining our own finances, creating a monthly budget, maintaining the budget, and balancing our lifestyle with our future goals, we learned a lot of skills that we now use to help others who are tired of money conversations feeling so difficult. My strengths are: - teaching, having spent 20 years in math classrooms, - coaching, asking good questions and ensuring that I truly understand you, and - strategy, using proven templates as the basis for important conversations. The $100/hour rate allows me to function in the role of a boutique personal business consultant. That gives you the flexibility to (1) decide how much you'd like to share about the nuances of your personal situation, and (2) work within your comfort zone as far as the time you'll put into setting yourselves up for success. Sometimes people like a helping hand to navigate the inevitable financial bumps in the road that pop up over time, so you're welcome to either hire me for a small time and rehire me as needed, or we can assemble a larger package that guarantees my availability to you for one-on-one sessions each week and lowers the hourly cost to you. Feel free to reach out for a 15-minute exploratory call so we can see if we're a good fit for each other.
