The Money Map (via Zoom Video Conferencing): $149
We know the feeling of having a great job with a decent income but having no idea at the end of the month where all the money went. Plus, with school loans, credit card debt, rent/mortgage and all the other monthly bills to pay, it is too much to get organized.
In Money Map, we work together to determine your true net worth, analyze your spending, set up a personalized Monthly Budget, an Emergency Fund and a Snowball Debt Repayment Plan, if needed. We even give you an idea how well you are doing saving for retirement.
The price includes one follow-up visit at the 1, 3 or 6-month mark to review your progress and answer all questions.
Our sessions are intense, so be ready! Give us approximately 4 hours and begin your journey to financial security and winning your retirement.
