I am the mom of 6 humans, a dog, a bunny, and a hamster who loves to do Ninja tricks. I live a life to serve others and teach them the lessons that were so freely given to me. I was once in $40,000 worth of debt, facing foreclosure of my home, and had a car repossessed. I had to take a good look at my spending and in 2009 started to get out of debt. I paid off the debt in 2012. A few years prior, in 2010, I started I started a website to teach people how to save money like I was. This website has grown into one of the largest personal finance websites for women. I now travel across the country for National TV shows like the TODAY Show, Good Morning American, Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, Nightline, and many more. My readers are busy moms who want to learn how to enjoy life on a budget. I love to teach practical meal planning and grocery saving tips + tips on how to save on electricity or vacations. I've been given free trips with my kids to talk about budget travel options. I am full of life and love to embrace it one day at a time!

I've worked as a spokesperson for the Flipp App, H&R Block, TD Bank, Savings.com, Valpak and more.

I had a YouTube channel with over 2 million views and love to share money saving tips online. I love public speaking and am currently planning a retreat in September 2020. I love my kids and husband more than anything and any way I can include them in my work I can.

How to Get Your Budget Back on Track in 7 Easy Ways

This may happen as you’re forking over cash throughout the month, but it’s worth looking over a few months of bank statements and determining where your money has really been going. If you feel like you’re on a hamster wheel and cannot gain any traction toward your savings or debt payment goals, sometimes flipping your whole budget on its head can be a fresh start. But once you know what you’re spending, and you’re serious about adjusting it to meet your actual budget, stashing the credit cards can be one way of facing facts. If you struggle to stay on track with the budget you’ve created, it’s time to re-think your plan for getting out of debt.

How Should a Beginner Budget?

If you don’t have a plan for your money, you won’t be able to make decisions like what vacation can you go on this year, can you send your kids to private school, when will I be able to retire, or should you agree to go out to dinner with friends this weekend. Maybe you or your spouse have a job that varies in income each month, something like sales or food service where your commission or hours are uncertain month to month. Fixed expenses are those with fixed or set amounts each month, so they don’t change month to month. Knowing what you want to achieve with your money whether it’s paying off debt, saving for a vacation, buying an investment property, or planning for retirement gives you something to work toward.

You Can Get Out of Debt Fast With No Money

The most important thing when you are trying to budget with no money is to make your budget a reflection of their values. As you have a clear understanding of where your money goes each month, what your monthly bills are, and what your income is, you can begin to make a debt payoff plan. Get creative with making some extra money, and use this to get out of debt fast with no money. To get a jumpstart on getting out of debt fast with no money, I invite you to join my Crush Your Debt Course where I go over step by step everything you need to know about financial freedom and instilling lasting change.
