My Story
I wasn't born knowing how to manage money.
Like many people, I learned through experience, and sometimes the hard way.
In my late twenties, feeding our family of seven, there was a week (or two) when my husband and I didn't have enough money for groceries. We used a Texaco credit card at the convenience store, hoping the purchase would clear because there was just enough credit left.
I still remember that feeling.
Not just worrying about money but wondering how we'd make it to the next paycheck.
I promised myself I never wanted to feel that way again.
We worked hard to change that. A debt payoff plan helped us regain control, but I learned that getting out of debt was only the beginning. As we managed income from our seasonal business and I built my career in banking, we learned to plan for irregular expenses, save intentionally, and invest for the future.
Then Jay died in 2023. No financial plan could ease that loss. But the decisions we had made over the years meant I could focus on grieving and healing without also wondering how I would pay the bills.
That experience deepened my belief that financial confidence is about more than numbers. It gives you choices and steadiness when life changes.
