Client Success

"Before my financial coaching with Anita, I totally subscribed to the false narrative that I just wasn’t a ‘numbers person.’

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!)

I feel so much relief and I want everyone to learn from Anita the way I have."

- Holly W. (Portland, OR)

"We have always had a healthy salary, but never tracked spending or planned for purchases and would go through cycles of typical bad habits.

After working with Anita for a few months, I now have a comfort level and understanding of budgeting concepts and 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."

- Jamie M. (Calgary, Ontario CA)

"As a 41-year-old woman, it was embarrassing to admit I had no clue what I was doing with my money.

I make a very good living, yet I've been living paycheck to paycheck for as long as I can remember.

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."

- Sam L. (Providence, RI)

Hi, I'm Anita

There was a time I struggled with credit card debt, paying my bills on time, and saving for things I cared about.

It was like my money would disappear as soon as it arrived.

When I didn't give my money a purpose, it found a way to spend itself.

That was until ten years ago when I learned YNAB -- a proven strategy for budgeting.

This method has helped me travel the world, pay all my bills on time, skyrocket my credit score, and purchase multiple properties.

There was no way I could have done it without learning this method.

Now, I teach others how to take total control of their money -- FOR GOOD!
