Hi!

I'm Kari

I love helping mamas (just like you) learn about all things money, be it budgeting or saving!

All to help you can make a secure future for your family, while still having fun!

what I do...

I know that dealing with money can be intimidating and scary, I was there once, and I don’t want that for you! I want you to feel excited to learn about money (I know that feeling seems a far way off right now). But trust me, you’ll get there, and it will be exciting!

I can absolutely help you get to that point, no matter where you’re starting from! So if you’ve ever said any of these things, then I can help!

“Why is budgeting so confusing?”

“I want to give my kids the best life possible, full of the things I didn’t have, but I don’t know how!”

“How can I stretch my grocery budget to get everything I need?”

“Am I even doing this right?”

“I’m so sick & tired of stressing over money!”

“I can never get ahead! When I buy one thing for my house, something else breaks!”

I’m here to help you get a few steps closer to your own mystical land of financial freedom.

I do this through education, inspiration, and actionable steps to help you get to where you want to be. For the past five years, I have devoured all money topics, combined that with a Masters in Business and an (almost) obsessive nature with all things planning.

I focus on family finance topics, sharing stories of my past financial struggles, and letting you in on the plans for my family’s financial future. Hint – it definitely involves a lot of sandy white beaches, WDW vacations, as well as a college savings account for my daughter.

As someone who’s been up to their eyeballs in debt, I found the tools and mastered the strategies that got me to where I am today! I turned it all around and am a Certified Financial Education Instructor, have an MBA degree, and now a proud member of the 800 Credit Club!  We have zero debt besides our mortgage, and we save for everything that we need (and most of what we want), all while still having fun! And, I can show you how to do it too!

about me...

When I’m not working, I am in my comfy pants, feverishly and gleefully comparing features of retirement planning calculators.  Here’s more on my story on how I got started learning about money.

Or you can find me coloring with my sassy five-year-old daughter (I am now the master of coloring all things Frozen)!

Or, I am watching horrible reality TV shows with my hubs, laughing hysterically at the craziness of it all! 

One of my favorite thing is burying myself with lots of blankets in the bed watching PBS period dramas or murder mysteries.  A bowl of ice cream is a sure thing here!

Oh, and I do sometimes plan out yoga class into my daily planner. Sometimes, I even go. 🙂
