Snag Our Simplified Budget System! Retirement is just a number. Our Happily Ever After System shows you exactly how and when you can officially retire because you’re financially independent.When we say retire here, we mean financial independence. That term is less understood, so we’ll take a moment to explain it before we begin. Financial independence is all about having options. When you have financial independence, you can choose to work or choose not to work. You can change jobs without concern. You can pursue a passion without worrying about money. You can take a year sabbatical and go do missionary work. You can take a few months off to help your child with their first child. It’s all about options. When we say retire, know that this is what we mean. We do not mean sitting at home on a recliner watching Wheel of Fortune (unless that’s what you want to do).In this episode we cover:How to calculate your retirement / financial freedom number.Determine what your income will be including pensions, disability and anything else you’ll be getting.Calculate the gap - how much you’ll need to pull out of investments to bridge the gap.The 4% rule (how to live off of the interest of your investments rather than the principal)The Rule of 72 / Compound InterestHow to calculate your net worth.How to get to your magic retirement numberHow to be a GOOD investor (not having to go stop/start investing or pulling from investing)How to diversify your investmentsWhy you should pay off your homeWhy you need to conduct an annual “Dream Date” where you discuss your financial goals, your dreams and your progress.

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! People are stuck living paycheck to paycheck. When a paycheck arrives, they desperately try to make it do all of these magical things and then white-knuckle it until the next paycheck. That’s not great. Our paycheck plan makes every paycheck look the same. Once you set this system up, your money will do the exact same thing every paycheck, which is going to make your life easier. Furthermore, you’re going to have enough money to last so you won’t even worry about when that next check is going to hit!Your paycheck plan will take your monthly expenses and divide them by the number of paychecks you have each month. Then you’ll set up automatic transfers to the designated amounts you determined to happen on payday. That means the only thing you’ll have to do differently when a paycheck comes is fund anything special for the month and make any extra debt / savings payments.In this episode we also cover:How your budget is monthly, but it’s funded by paychecks.Don’t wait until the end of the pay period to pay extra on debt.How you can’t spend money if it’s not there.How to save money and pay extra on debt every paycheck.How there’s no such thing as an extra paycheck.How Vanessa’s pretend gas budget is laughable.How to fund groceries, gas, haircuts and everything else each paycheck.How you only have to do TWO things manually each paycheck once you’ve set up our systems.“That’s the beauty of the paycheck plan because you've done your budget and you know exactly what needs to happen when your paycheck hits. And it’s always the same and you don't have to use any brain calories.”Connect With Us:1️⃣ Facebook Group – Join the community. Our free group is where the real talk happens.

Then, you’ll set up automatic transfers to send money to each account every month. No more wondering if you can afford a trip or fix the AC. You’ll log into your bank app and see money already sitting there, waiting. Cue the happy dance.This system was created for people who are done with relying on credit cards and ready for a smoother way to handle savings goals.

It’s like turning your money system into a game. You’re competing with yourself to hit new savings goals—and that scoreboard is your bank app.Once you’re ready, this system is a total game changer. You'll feel in control, on top of things, and fully prepped for whatever life throws at you.Listen in to learn how to use this system and:How to know exactly what you can afford for big and small expensesHow to know exactly what you have for each category in your budgetHow to separate your bills, expenses and savings How to get excited about saving moneyExactly how to set up a Digital Envelope SystemHow to apply gamification to your moneyHow to use this system to save & pay for things like medical copays and pet appointments You’re the master of your money, not the other way around.

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! A savings bucket is a savings account with a purpose. Unlike the emergency fund and investments, savings buckets take into account your larger annual expenses and divide the cost so that you can budget for them monthly. This system is when you know you’re next level. Rather than just setting money aside without a plan, we’re going to have a specific plan. This system is so awesome because when a big bill comes, you’re not wondering how you’re going to pay for it or reaching for a credit card. Instead, you’re confident you have the money for it and not stressed at all! Plus, you do not have to go further into debt because you’re so organized! One of our clients recently text us about this system:“Had to get new tires today (they were old but went in for a nail in one, not to replace) and it was really cool to have $800 ready to go in my car maintenance fund!! Even the tire guy seemed a little nervous to tell me I needed tires. I think he's used to people being unprepared. He sounded a tiny bit surprised when I said "sure, go for it!"Here are the steps we’re going over in this episode.Brainstorm every savings bucket you have in a year. These are things you spend a lot of money on each year or can expect to. Use the list below for inspiration.Calculate how much you need for each of those funds.Divide that savings bucket amount by 12 (or the amount of months you have left to save for it).Put those numbers in your monthly budget!Be relieved when you have money for that emergency pet visit or new tires!Examples of savings buckets (also called sinking fund):Car repairsPet expensesChristmasVacationHome repairsTaxesMedical / Dental / Vision expensesPrescriptionsInsurance premiums (life, auto, property)HOA feesAnnual membershipsFurnitureHome remodelBack to school / clothingTuitionCar replacementWeddingMovingNew Baby“When her paychecks go in, they fund the bills account and it all spreads out because they’re out of debt. So, it goes to her kids fund, her home repair fund, it goes to all of her funds. So, all she has to do is pull up her account and look and see exactly how much money she has. There’s no guessing game.”Connect With Us:1️⃣ Facebook Group – Join the community. Our free group is where the real talk happens.

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! Our clients come and go in different financial statuses. Which financial status are you currently in? Chaos? Crusader? Happily Ever After? Listen to find out.In this podcast episode we’re talking about:Money anxietyHow to get relief & control back in your financesMoney mindsetDebt pay off strategiesOrganizing your Living paycheck to paycheckWhat’s more important than your credit scoreNSF feesHow you can be like Frodo from Lord of the RingsHow to see the light at the end of the tunnel with your moneyGetting to automatically saving & investingBeing able to be as generous as you want toSide note: money is amoral. It is a tool that can be used for good or for bad. We know you’re going to use it for good, so get over your shyness and get ready to have an incredible financial future full of opportunities and generosity!The first status is chaos. During this status, you have no idea what’s going on financially. Typically, you’re scared or overwhelmed about what’s going on so you just ignore it. This doesn’t mean you’re not making ends meet. It usually just means you make good money but have nothing to show for it. It means you aren’t sure how to make financial decisions, so you wing it or use debt.The second status happens when you organize your finances to get out of debt. Debt is a thief that keeps you paying for the past rather than funding the future. Regular, wealthy, financially independent people aren’t using debt or credit scores as a measure of any success, trust us. In fact, we have a saying we like to use:“The poor pay interest, while the rich earn interest.” The Third Law of Wealth from the Richest Man in BabylonThe third status is when you’ve gotten out of debt and have set up a solid investment plan and you understand when you will be financially independent. In this stage, you’ll start piling up cash in your emergency fund, your vacation and gift-giving accounts as well your investments and anything else you are excited to fund. So, where are you? We hope to get you into that third status with this book. If you use each system we list in this workbook, you’ll be on your way!Connect With Us:1️⃣ Facebook Group – Join the community.

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! Recently we taught a group of high school students all about saving money, budgeting, debt & investing. After each lesson, we asked them for their takeaways. Today we're going to bring you their takeaways that you probably should know but may not be practicing. Even if you make more money, don't spend more money Put your emergency fund in a money market When you get a raise, your investments get a raise Don't ever take money out of your investments Put your goals on paper, they are more feasible than you think You can be completely debt-free your entire life Investing is really important. In this episode we also cover: How to avoid lifestyle creep. Where to put your emergency fund so you can make more than .01% interest. How to make your money work for you. The difference between a starter emergency fund and the fully funded emergency fund. The difference between the checking account, savings account and the money market account when it comes to your emergency fund.

Book A Free Financial Coaching Call! Today we are sharing four "Lessons from the Sessions." These are takeaways from recent sessions with our clients that we bet will resonate with you and we hope will help you. We had a client recently turn her cell phone off in order to tighten up her budget--after one session. We have never had a client go that far so quickly and we certainly won't ask you to do that. We do, however, talk about the difference between wants and needs, why she chose to give it up and what some of the potential ramifications are in her life. In another takeaway, we talk about a client who is trying to finish her degree. Her degree that may or may not have an impact on her career. And, by the way, she's currently in a career that she had no intention of being in when she started out. So, the main lesson here is to learn to step back and ask why are you doing what you’re doing. There may be outside or past influences in your life that you need to reassess. Listen to hear exactly how we helped her work through this. One of our clients was recently trying to get in the routine of a morning routine. She came up against the obstacle of being tired. We coached her on exactly how to deal with it and achieve her goal! On our last takeaway we talk about our coaching for a client who is trying to eat healthy in order to lose weight. She's been making it complicated and she's confused about her macros and portions. We told her exactly how to handle dinner in order to take away the stress and decision making anxiety while also being able to reach her goals! Click this link to get our 14 Day Sheet Pan Cookbook: 7 ingredients or less, 7 steps or less, 1 pan to cook & clean. What’s not to like?Overall, these takeaways help in the areas of budgeting, goal setting, reducing expenses, sacrificing short term gratification for long term satisfaction, what to eat, how to deal with a family who doesn't eat healthy when you're trying to and how to deal with a busy schedule, being tired and achieving your goals at the same time.
