About me

I am not talking about getting rich, although for many people who achieve financial stability, getting rich no longer seems to be such a ridiculous notion. No, I am talking about power. I am talking about the ability to leave any situation that doesn’t make you a better person. I’m talking about “You can’t make me” money. If you need to leave a destructive career, an abusive relationship, or even the whole town if it is causing you pain, you deserve the power to do that. Sometimes, making major changes in your life isn’t a matter of bravery, its just a matter of money.

Creating a budget is the first step in taking back control of your financial life. A budget should not exist to limit your happiness and force you to be responsible. A budget should be your instrument to say YES to something that is truly important to you.  The budget system I use allows you to determine where the money comes from when you make your decision. You put details on your goals. You set them to your billing cycles so that when you need to take money from that goal to make a purchase, you know that

• You have the money to make that purchase, and
• You can decide whether the purchase will set your goals back.

You will have a timeline to reach your goals, whether that is a new home, a fun vacation, or getting debt free. You deserve to know these things. You deserve the confidence that comes from knowing the consequences of your actions.

I believe that when you commit to learning about your own finances, the sky is the limit on what you can achieve. You want to drive an expensive luxury car? You want to buy a huge house so your whole family can come and stay? You want to pay for your childrens’ college and never let them worry about money? You want to travel internationally every year and only fly first class? I can help you find out what it will take to achieve your goals, how long it will take, and how to get as many obstacles out of your way as possible. I can help you determine what is the most important thing to you and show you how to make your finances reflect that. I can help you learn how to increase your income, whether by changing jobs, negotiating raises, earning side income, or something else. I can help you learn how to negotiate your expenses down and lower your cost of living. These are my favorite things to do, I love helping people feel empowered to change their financial lives. I love providing resources, options, and tricks of the trade that will make you feel you are getting the best experience that you can.

I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Anthropology, and I learned from that experience that my passion lies with helping people in every way that I can. After college I spent a year working in customer service and decided I needed something more directly impacting people’s lives than providing empathy and discounts. I joined the Air Force as a way to free up my professional options, and found myself working with military pay and travel, and I learned that I have a deep passion for helping people understand their financial situations, and that so many people know some tricks for doing better, but nearly everyone is open to learning more. As I readied myself for separation, I decided that I would pursue a career in personal finance and opened Financial Stability Experience to remove all the barriers between me and my clients, so that I can provide ANYTHING that will help my clients. I love being self employed, and I love the relationships I have been able to form with my clients as I am growing my business and expanding the wealth of knowledge that is the Financial Stability Experience. I am now pursuing my Master’s Degree in Family Financial Planning and my CFP board certification. This is the highest level of personal financial advice that currently exists and I can accept nothing less for myself and my clients.
