Ready
For Anything
"A family member gave us a 'Fiscal Physical'
and counseling session as a wedding gift.
Our counselor helped us see that we had a
lot of options and important decisions to
make that would affect our future. We appreciated
the advice from someone who knew his field.
Understanding our Financial Vital Signs has
helped us stay out of trouble and stay on
top of things in a way that makes us feel
in control. We know now that if we use our
money wisely, we'll always have enough and
maybe a little to spare. It was a great way
to start our marriage. Now we're both preparing
for graduate school and expecting our first
child, but we feel confident we have the skills
to manage our money right through all these
changes."

I
Felt 200 Lbs. Lighter
"My stress about my finances was making
me physically sick; I was on the verge of
a nervous breakdown. After one hour with the
financial counselor, I felt 200 pounds lighter.
He saw instantly that I was losing hundreds
of dollars a month on some insurance I thought
I needed, but was actually a scam. Seeing
my financial situation explained with the
five Financial Vital Signs made things clearer
than it ever was when I was just looking at
piles of bills and account balances. I could
see easily what I needed to change, how I
could do it myself, and how that would make
me happier."

We
Got On The Same Page
"Meeting with the counselor helped my
wife and me get on the same page. We were
really fighting about money before, and blaming
each other for everything that went wrong.
This helped us to focus our effort and work
together, and now it feels like we can accomplish
more because we have the same goals. We
realized that we weren't there to learn how
to make millions, but that if we paid off
our debts we would be fine with what we have
now. It reminded us what we really value --
our family -- and taught us to evaluate money
decisions on how they will help us achieve
the things we really want."
