Coaching with Brett has helped me establish a solid foundation for improving my financial management practices. I have learned to think about money in the long-term, set priorities, and understand that unexpected expenses can be part of the journey. Overall, I believe the coaching experience has been very useful and much needed. Now I feel less scared about my finances because I know I have the tools to navigate money-related situations.
I decided to seek budget coaching because I noticed that regardless of the increase in my income, I was consistently spending my money to the limit. This pattern made it difficult for me to achieve my financial goals for savings. By the end of the month, I often felt stressed due to my lack of organization and knowledge about managing a budget, which negatively impacted my well-being. Additionally, I realized that my parents’ financial struggles had influenced my own habits, and I needed to unlearn some of these learned patterns.
During my coaching sessions with Brett, I had a breakthrough when I learned about the principle that every dollar has a job. This concept was previously unknown to me and realizing it helped me spend with purpose.
A specific change I have noticed since my coaching sessions with Brett is that I am more aware of where my money goes. Additionally, I have started saving for the future, which has given me peace of mind. A concrete example of how tracking my finances has helped is when I discovered I was being scammed. The payments to an unknown account started small but were gradually increasing over time. If I had not kept track of my spending, I might not have noticed this. Furthermore, I now have time to reflect on my spending habits and to be more conscious of my priorities and major expenditures.
I would highly recommend coaching sessions with Brett. He has a gift for explaining difficult concepts in a simple way. He walked me through my current situation and provided guidance on how to arrange my financial priorities. After the coaching sessions, Brett was available to answer my questions as I put the concepts into practice. Overall, the experience was very positive and has significantly contributed to my journey of planning for the future while also enjoying the present!
