Are You Ready to Make a Change?

As I was thinking about what to write for this post, I started reflecting on my own journey with money and why I'm so passionate about personal finance in general. It's because I truly believe that giving hearts coupled with healthy money habits is the recipe for making the world a better place. There would be less people who are poor and hungry, happier marriages and just happier, less stressed out people in general. Now don't get me wrong, money itself does not equal happiness, but the side effects of a poor money mindset contribute greatly to unhappiness. Money is a powerful tool and an important resource, and it's ok to want more of it when it's obtained, managed and dispersed responsibly.

I recently became a Dave Ramsey certified financial coach, and it's my mission to help as many willing people as possible, so please contact me if you would like help with budgeting, debt elimination and breaking the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck! As Dave Ramsey says, these days, normal is broke and debt-burdened; don't be normal, be weird! Sacrifice and live like no one else so that later, you can live and give like no one else.

I can be contacted on my Facebook page, The Wanderlusting Penny Pincher, on the "contact us" link on this website, and you can find me on Fiverr or LinkedIn. There is a small fee for my services and I can help you no matter where you are located in the country as our correspondence will be via email and phone. Additional details will be provided to serious inquiries. I can't wait to hear from you!

The Beginning of my Journey to Financial Peace

When I graduated college back in 2010, degrees in hand, I had stars in my eyes and spunk in my spirit. I was young and carefree, the world was my oyster and I was excited about the future. There was just one problem. Between student loans, credit card debt, and an auto loan, I had accrued about $55,000 of debt. I also had no job prospects, at least none that justified my newly earned music and psychology degrees and/or would be much help with attacking Debt Mountain. I was also an impulsive spender. The fact that I wasn't making a lot of money combined with the fact that I had a lot of debt and a bad habit - let's just say my starry-eyed excitement was fading fast, and I knew I needed to act. It's amazing, the things we can accomplish when we have to. I prayed, researched and brainstormed every possible thing I could do to become debt free. Doing all of that took me on a life-changing journey; so much so that I feel compelled, obligated even, to share my story. I am so exci...

Stewardship: Where Faith and Finances Meet

Around the same time that I was learning about financial peace and budgeting from Dave Ramsey, the Lord lit a fire in me to get serious in my pursuit of following Him. I have always been a believer, but my heart began stirring at the realization that I needed to fully surrender my heart to Him in order to experience true life. When you draw closer to the Lord, He plants truths in your heart that blossom into beautiful, transforming things in your life. For me, one (among many) of those things was a passion for good stewardship. Mr. Ramsey, who is also a believer, encouraged and inspired me to remain steadfast in this newfound passion. There is a beautiful song by Casting Crowns called "Oh My Soul." ( Click here to listen ). My favorite line of the chorus is, "There's a place where fear has to face the God you know." I believe the same is true of our finances. The way they face and reflect the God we know is through practicing good stewardship. So what does t...
