Living paycheck to paycheck?


Hey Reader!

I know how hard it is when things are so tight and you are living paycheck to paycheck. It is absolutely NOT a fun place to be. (I've been there, so I truly know.)

But it IS possible to break that cycle.

One of the tools that helped me do that?

YNAB.

Yes, you've likely heard me talk about YNAB before! But, it truly can be a game-changer!!

In this video, I show you how YNAB can help you break that cycle. Click here to give it a watch.

That being said, it will take some time to get things turned around. (Likely longer that you'd like it to.)

But, I'm here to cheer you on! And if you'd like to join us inside The Empowered Money Circle, we will be starting together in January to get our money schtufff on track for 2026. Would you like to join us?

Let's make 2026 the year you FINALLY take control of your money!!
