LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY
I’m guessing your heart just dropped into your stomach reading that, but hear me out!
I tend to like rules...maybe it’s the oldest child in me, the peacemaker or the former accountant in me...Either way, I believed that following rules was the best way to get what you need. I admit it was a bit naive, but hey, it was the 80’s!
Money was something that I never learned about growing up. It was something that adults took care of and children shouldn’t worry about. Cool! So, my parents managed the finances and I was able to blissfully think that as long as I followed the rules, in my case, study hard and go to college, I would find a job that I love that would pay me what I wanted and live happily ever after.
Then reality hit...and by reality, I mean student loans...and the job that I didn’t love that didn’t pay me what I wanted. Whenever I tried to follow popular budgeting and finance books during that time, I felt like I couldn’t relate to them at all!
How is BLUEPRINT different from typical BOOKS AND PROGRAMS ABOUT budgeting?
I get this question literally everyday. I know you’ve been bombarded with different types of financial advice, money challenges, budgeting guides...and have you checked IG lately?
And I’m also assuming something about those things just didn’t click with you. They can seem restrictive and isolating. And we all know, the more we’re told what we can’t do, the more we think about doing it. When we feel deprived, it is natural to try and regain a sense of control. This is where Blueprint comes in.
Our relationship with money is emotional, pure and simple. The problem is that most information about money management and financial literacy talks about what you need to STOP doing instead of what you need to START doing to feel empowered.
Blueprint will help to understand what has impacted your relationship with money in the past and give real-time practice building a budget that you actually want to follow.
At the end of these eight weeks, you will have a meaningful budget (or blueprint!) to use based on your current financial state as well as actionable goals moving forward. You will also have begun building your accountability team, a group of trusted professional and personal people who will help you stay on track with your goals!
