Meet Your Coach: Jessica Duncan “My budgeting journey began in 2020, just a few months after my husband passed. Prior to his death, we never budgeted or had a handle on our finances as a couple. As someone who was financially aware since my first job at 16, having that financial chaos was a stressor for me. My husband had racked up credit card debt on multiple cards, had his motorcycle repossessed due to non-payment, and we had to take out several payday loans just to get by. We were constantly having to borrow money from family to pay rent and bills. I had to hold my breath every time I got to the checkout line at the grocery store because I never knew if there was enough money in the bank account. We were living worse than paycheck-to-paycheck. After a lot of tweaking and learning the ebbs and flows of budgeting, it was a night and day difference. I was able to build my budget based on the things that were most important to me. I could afford to have monthly family outings and dinners with my kids. We were able to take a couple family vacations, and I had my first adult only vacation. I was able to save for those big whammy expenses, like Christmas and birthdays, over the course of the year. I actually had money to put into a savings account. I made my money work for me and the lifestyle I wanted.” Start budgeting with Jessica today: https://buff.ly/3Q9og2l #Budgeting #BudgetCoach
