Financial Coaching for High Earning Women
Starting a blog is freakin’ scary. You have to figure out how to work these intimidating techy elements, then decide if you start on Weebly, Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, and on and on. I get it. And honestly, confession time- I used to not be a techy person at all. I mean, setting up a printer via IP address was a… Read More
Alright guys, this question is top 5 of what I get asked on a regular basis. I get where the confusion comes from. We are all told to save $1,000 first and then pay off debt before building up your 6 month “Oh Shit Fund.” It’s good advice. But it’s not very practical for some.

“F*ck it. I’m going to Starbucks.” I said this to myself in the middle of tax season. Normally, this wouldn’t have been a big deal; but I was 3 months in to my strict goal of paying off my $30,000 student loan within a year.

I used to think international travel was for those who had a lot of money or did a lot of credit card hacking. Neither of which applied to me. Paying $1,500 for a flight alone does not fit into my life. (Especially at the frequency I prefer to travel.) If you follow this blog you know that credit card hacking is… Read More

Dashboard The picture below shows you how your dashboard looks… Read More
Knowing what to get a special someone in your life is freaking hard work. You try to be thoughtful, think of exactly what they want, and at the same time not break the bank. #AmIRight? Because I experience how difficult it is to buy thoughtful V-Day gifts every year, I did some research and compiled a list of sweet gifts… Read More
You’re probably thinking… “bold statement there Whitney!” But it’s true! There is one financial habit that trumps all other things you will do. This one habit beats out budgeting, …saving, *gasp* …automating your financial life. It even beats out visualizing your financial goals. The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to do. The one financial habit that will change your life… Read More
