Testimonials

"Having been an 'adult' for some time with zero idea of managing my finances I was honestly nervous to admit I needed help. When I finally took the brave step of asking for help I was ready to learn and take control of my income and expenses. Jeannette did a great job of breaking down the steps, the why's and paying attention to how I learned and customizing my monthly budget sheets to suit my needs.

We discussed deeper issues related to how I see money, how money was talked about when I was a kid, and what my goals with money were. She helped me recognize the good steps I had already taken and hone in on the parts that I needed to work on more. That is one thing I find so important when learning- praise the things done and actions taken, no matter how small. The end goal is months and years away which can make the process seem too big and unattainable.

The most eye-opening part for me was learning and documenting where exactly all my money went each month! It was also a call to recognize the small changes I could easily make to really create a better system of savings and paying off my credit card. Jeannette helped me learn my own system and gently reminded me to do my budget each month. As with anything, making a new process become a routine takes time. She would check in at the end of the month to make sure I had done my budget for the following month. And in doing so I paid more attention to the expenses that I would forget about that maybe came yearly or quarterly.

Overall, I would highly recommend Fennel Financial Coaching to anyone wanting to learn more about their money, how to manage monthly bills, and take the steps, no matter how small, to becoming financially secure and not burdened with debt."
