How is this program different from other budgeting tools out there?

Focused on the Process

Achieving your dream lifestyle starts with a proven budgeting process. Learn how to budget first, then start seeing the results!

It’s simple and easy to use

The more features and capability that a tool has, the more complicated it is to use. We don’t need our budgeting tool to do everything, we need it to help us do one thing easily so we can be successful and stick to our plan.

Not Connected to your Bank Account

Some tools make you connect your persoanl account information which presents a security risk. Additionally, connecting your bank accounts can make things too easy. We believe in the process and know that “set it and forget it” doesn’t work when it comes to budgeting.

Editable to meet your needs

Do you like to categorize things a certain way? You can easily do that with our Budgeting Tool. You’re not forced to use terminology that doesn’t make sense in your life.

Here’s What You’ll Get

A 4-step program full of the exact financial strategies we used to eliminate $100,000 in debt and save up a $25,000 emergency fund. This ultimately allowed us the financial freedom for Lindsay to quit her job so we could travel full time.

Video lessons for each step with a variety of digital worksheets to help you apply the concepts covered in the lessons.

The budgeting tool we created and use monthly to help make debt pay off and savings a priority. Plus video tutorials to show you how to successfully use it.

 

Tips for being successful with the budgeting tool to ensure you stick to it and reach your goals.
