Whether you're brand new to YNAB, or trying it for a second (or third) time, I'll help you set up your budget and ensure you're confident using it.
You're more likely to succeed with budgeting when you have clear intentions (and motivation!).

You'll have email support to ask questions in between sessions during our 1-month long coaching engagement.
YNAB is what helped me break out of living paycheck-to-paycheck.
I’ve gone from being in 6-figures of debt to building a 6-figure net worth.
I know what it’s like to be frustrated with money.
I know that having scarce resources can make wealth seem difficult, or even impossible.
I know the idea of budgeting can seem limiting.
But…

I am a YNAB Certified Budgeting Coach, which means that I have been trained to coach people on using YNAB software and the YNAB budgeting method. I have met select requirements of You Need a Budget LLC in order to receive this certification, which means that I have the ability to competently coach YNAB to others. I am not an employee of YNAB, and all non-YNAB related opinions and recommendations are my own. My views do not reflect the views of YNAB and its employees or its affiliates.
I am an Accredited Financial Counselor®, which is a nationally accredited designation. As an AFC®, I am a fiduciary. This means I'm committed to doing what is best for you & I provide financial education and guidance specific to your unique situation, goals, and needs.
You Need A Budget (YNAB) is a budgeting software. You can use it both on web and the mobile app. I personally use it for budgeting for myself, my joint finances, and my businesses.
Please note: YNAB is a paid app and you’ll be required to set up an account.
YNAB does offer a 34-day free trial, which can be extended an additional 2 months if you purchase a coaching package with me.
People who are not committed to improving their personal finances.
YNAB does take time to get used to & will require regular check-ins — but the results are worth it!

Welcome! I created Wealth for Women of Color shortly after taking classes to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™.
I already knew barriers to wealth existed for women of color based on my experience as a child of immigrants and also, you know… systemic oppression and marginalization. But being exposed to financial planning curriculum solidified to me that we need more voices that can speak to women of color about finances. The world of wealth is normalized for old, rich white men, and not for women, especially women of color.
