"Anita is a Pro! I am not a natural when it comes to numbers, but with YNAB and Anita's help I've been able to transform my books (both personal and for my real estate business) from a useless embarrassment into a tool that I look forward to utilizing daily.
Anita is super patient, and great at quickly finding issues and explaining how to resolve them. If you are using YNAB and just not getting quite what you want out of it, I definitely recommend her help."
- David A.
"Working with Anita on my YNAB budgeting skills was amazing! After using YNAB for years, I had specific questions around setting goals and also wanted an expert to look at my process to make sure I was doing everything correctly.
Anita took time to understand my needs and then outlined a curriculum and coaching plan that addressed all of my needs and more.
During coaching sessions, she demonstrated deep knowledge of YNAB and incredible patience. I highly recommend Anita for anyone trying to step up their budgeting game!"

At the beginning of this year, I was really struggling financially. I couldn't figure out where all my money was going, and it felt like I was living paycheck to paycheck. After paying my bills, there was never much left over, and I had no real savings. I knew something had to change, so I started looking for help.
That's when I came across Anita on YouTube. I decided to give her approach a try and hoped it would help me get my finances under control. Around the same time, I started using YNAB, but I quickly realized it had a pretty steep learning curve. I was confused about how to use it effectively.
Working with Anita completely changed that. She's an incredible YNAB coach. I took a few of her courses, and she taught me how to use YNAB the right way—how to organize my budget, categorize my spending, and set up my targets so they actually worked for my situation. She explained everything in a way that finally made sense.
The results have honestly been life-changing. Today, I'm essentially debt-free. I don't owe anything on my credit cards, and I have more savings than I've ever had in the 36 years of my life. For the first time, I don't stress about money. I know my bills are covered, I have money assigned to all of my categories, and I'm finally at the point where I'm getting ahead instead of just getting by.
That feeling of financial peace is something I never thought I'd have, and I truly owe a lot of it to Anita's guidance. I'm incredibly grateful for everything she taught me and the confidence she gave me to take control of my finances.
I hope more people find Anita and give themselves the same opportunity because she genuinely changed my life. Thank you, Anita, for everything you've done. I'm excited for what the future holds, and I couldn't have gotten here without your help."
— Antonio A.
“Anita has a gift for making something terrifying (budgeting) seem actually doable. She is patient when working through the gritty details of a budget, and has such good ideas for building a foundation to keep this a part of your financial process forever.
I can't really remember what life was like *before* having Anita as a coach. After just a few sessions I felt confident to not only tackle our personal budget on a daily basis -- something I never thought possible -- and I actually set up our business as well because I found the process to be so valuable to our financial outlook.
I can't recommend Anita enough no matter where you are in your financial journey -- she's a great partner and coach and can give you the tools to get your budget working for you in no time."

"Anita is a total PRO at budgeting and at teaching one how to use YNAB. I had been using it on my own for awhile and was at a loss with reconciling. In an hour she had all of my accounts reconciled and demystified how to pay down my credit cards through the software. I can't recommend her enough!"

"Anita has changed the way I run my weekly business budget. To start, she reduced my hours of slaving away each week down to 15 minutes!
I can reconcile my books, move money into savings, know exactly how much I have, and understand how my finances are being spent and earmarked. Now, I have a big picture of my finances with monthly goals and understand even the littlest expenses and how to account for them (those cents really add up!).
Anita knows personal and business budgeting like the back of her hand. Anita was personable and willing to work what was best for myself and my business. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to streamline their budget, save money, and make better decisions about their hard-earned cash."

“Wow what can I say, Anita is awesome! She has greatly accelerated & guided me on my path towards conscious spending.
While I'm reasonably financially sophisticated and have different businesses that our accounting & finance folks track & analyze our numbers...my personal financial house was in disarray. I spent as I wanted, without guidelines or true purpose. Wow what can I say, Anita is awesome! She has greatly accelerated & guided me on my path towards conscious spending.

Anita kicked us off by dialing in my objectives, then helped me step by step to achieve them. She was extremely helpful and patient with my missteps, and dealt extremely professionally with 'on the spot' whatever came up.
And YNAB is a great software - and sometimes it gets a little tricky for me, so having her oversight / availability for help avoided wasted calories messing around.
I will tell you that having consciousness on my money has been tremendously empowering - thank you Anita! Now every dollar has a purpose - which helps me fuel my optimal life. I totally recommend working with her.”
— Steve K., Entrepreneur
I was a budget novice but Anita helped me get comfortable right away. She advised me on different ways to decrease my spending and explained the money management in ways I could understand.
I am now in a daily habit of checking my budget and I am aware of the spending I am doing. I found several subscriptions I had forgotten about that I was able to cancel and saved money by doing that. This was definitely a very helpful thing for me and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I have recommended Anita to family members who are struggling to budget and I am confident she could help them too.
— Kathy P. (Castle Rock, CO)
“Anita helped me go from nothing to a budget that works for me in just a few sessions. With her, I learned budgeting principles and used YNAB to put them into practice. She guided me on how to empower myself to spend money on what I value, and how to focus on being proactive in the face of financial stress. Her guidance, expertise, and compassion was exactly what I needed and a breath of fresh air."
- Darren H.
"Anita was super helpful and efficient with our time. We got so much done and I was able to get a YNAB tune up and get back on track. She also taught me some new tactics to simplify and keep things more organized. She is super easy to follow, understand, and explained things clearly. This was such a great investment into my financial organization. I highly recommend Anita!!"
- Sam B.
"I had used YNAB before but felt like it wasn’t working for me. Anita guided me through how to use YNAB in an easy-to-understand way and helped me age my money.
Now, I feel much more confident managing my money and I update my YNAB daily!"
- Mandy S.
“Before my financial coaching with Anita, I totally subscribed to the false narrative that I just wasn’t a ‘numbers person.’
She completely turned that upside down and showed me ways to keep track of my finances that not only made sense but felt really rewarding.
I saved $750 in one single month and with each passing week, that amount grows, now that I understand where all of my money is going. (And staying!) My budget is completely demystified and it’s genuinely life-changing.
It feels more important than ever to understand your money as things shift in the world around us. I feel so much relief and I want everyone to learn from Anita the way I have.”

"I am married and my wife works, with two teenagers. We have always had a healthy salary, but always seemed to have money challenges. We never tracked spending or planned for purchases. Would go through cycles of taking dividends from personal corp to cover shortfalls, and unplanned spends, then get behind on the taxes owing for those spends. Typical bad habits; pay off too much of a credit card or impulse buy, then not have enough for incidentals, take another dividend to cover...
After working with Anita for a few months, I now have a comfort level and understanding of budgeting concepts and how to apply them to YNAB. I have a much clearer picture of our spending (actuals) vs just the big or obvious items. In a very short time, I started noticing a change in behavior; I would question eating out, delay purchases that were not budgeted for, and did a lot more saving and debt paydown.
There is no way I could have done this on my own. Anita has been an invaluable resource, with exceptional knowledge and patience. She has a very positive attitude and is a true partner/coach, who I continue to work with to keep me honest and on track. Along the way we have encountered some challenges that would have for sure stalled me if I was on my own. I would also say that her flexibility and quick responses have been a huge help to address questions/best practices.
I would give Anita a 10/10 and would absolutely recommend her as a partner in your budgeting/personal finance journey."

“For the first time, I actually understand my money and finances, literally all thanks to Anita and YNAB.
I have ADHD and am a compulsive spender. My money was always a mess and I never knew where it had gone. I was always afraid to look at my bank accounts and would avoid them until it was too late.
I had tried to use YNAB in the past and failed, and honestly, I would have again if not for Anita's patient guidance. It wasn’t easy, but after a few months, I FINALLY get it! My life has been completely changed with her help and I am now on my way to a healthy savings and no longer avoid my bank accounts.
I never dreamed this was possible for me."

Anita is such a calm and supportive voice of reason. I started working with her to learn how to truly budget (before, I just tracked my spending). Her YNAB knowledge is superb; she shares it in "bite-size" bits, so it's not overwhelming. If you want to take your YNAB know-how and budgeting skills to the next level, I highly recommend Anita. She's the best.

“YNAB is an amazing tool for tracking and planning your spending which are both crucial in wealth creation, but there's a bit of a learning curve and THAT is where Anita comes in!
Spreadsheets, for me, can be overwhelming but after going through the steps with Anita it all became second nature and surprisingly fun! Daily tracking is the fastest way to get control of your finances!
My personal issue was overspending. If I saw something I liked I just bought it without thinking. Every dollar I earned was spent thoughtlessly, but not anymore!
Now I take a pause, check my app, and see if it's worth it ❤ Do I want this new purse or do I want to build up my vacation fund faster? THIS. IS. A. GAME-CHANGER!
Do it!"

"As a 41-year-old woman, it is embarrassing to admit I have no clue what I'm doing with my money. I make a very good living, well above the average income, yet I've been living paycheck to paycheck for as long as I can remember. I've always put my head in the sand and pretended everything is fine and "one day" I'll be good with money.
It was always, "When I make $75,000 I'll be fine and won't be living paycheck to paycheck." Slowly that magical number kept creeping up and I discovered it doesn't matter how much you make, more money doesn't mean all your problems will disappear, in fact, they may grow.
I've "tried" a few different types of budgeting but never really stuck with one because they were all manual processes and still never helped me understand how money works. It was only when I started working with Anita did she simplify what I thought was a complicated thing. She explained to me how money works and how to gain control of it.
I'm no longer living with the crippling anxiety of checking my bank account or credit card statement. I know where my money is going and where I need to make changes in my habits. She's illuminated something that's been a deep, dark part of my life and it turns out... it's not so scary.
I'm working on removing shame and other negative emotions from my money management and inserting pride and confidence.
Anita and YNAB have truly changed my life and it wasn't a magical number I needed, it was a great teacher and a great tool."

“I wanted to take a moment to say that it was a great experience working with you. You are a complete professional, yet you still manage to relate on a personal level.
I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge and a better understanding of what my money is "doing."

“Working with Anita has brought our family peace of mind and clarity as she taught us how to use the budgeting tool, YNAB.
Her personalized guidance helped us set realistic goals and stay on track. We now feel more confident about budgeting and planning."
- Christy H. (Denver, CO)
"As a married couple, Anita helped us wade through years of stress and anxiety about finances. In just a few short months, she helped us learn how to better use YNAB, talk through our personal insecurities and financial goals, and get back on track with our income and spending. We especially appreciated her responsiveness to our many questions throughout the experience."
