Why Budget-Friendly Matters More Than Ever

-Turning grocery receipts into savings victories (e.g., Pogo, Frisbee)

My Journey to Budget-Friendly Freedom

A few years ago, I was drowning in credit card debt, convinced happiness came with a price tag. Then I discovered a secret: the best things in life aren't things. 

I paid off $15k in debt by:

-Swapping takeout for meal-prepped freezer burritos.

-Hosting "swap parties" instead of mall sprees.

-Falling in love with library books and park picnics.

Now, I'm here to help you skip the mistakes I made and fast-track your way to financial confidence.
