About
Start Smart Budget Coaching picks up where school left off! Very few people truly learn how to manage their money while in school and yet are expected to be experts as soon as they graduate from high school or college. Money management is a skill just like playing the piano or riding a bike. You must learn the skills and then practice the skills to confidently manage your money.
Whether you're a current student, recent graduate, or not so recent graduate, Start Smart Budget Coaching can teach you the skills needed to live within your means while still spending money on things you enjoy and saving for the future.
At Start Smart Budget Coaching, I teach people how to create a zero-based budget with the tool, You Need A Budget (YNAB). In my humble opinion, this is the best budgeting tool on the market and zero-based budgeting is the best method. YNAB is more than just software; it is a budgeting method. Once you learn the Four Rules (or Habits), you will view your money in a totally new way.
