What People Say After Using Our System

The most common thing we hear is, “This gave me hope.“

Here are a few words from people who have used our system and felt something shift in their life.

“After reading your book, I see it! I get it! And I’m excited to start our budget! I cannot begin to tell you how empowered I feel about our finances! I wish I had your book 30 years ago!”
Sue⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“There is a quiet confidence in knowing that for the first time I have a real, workable budget that makes sense to me, which shows that I actually DO have enough money, I CAN pay all my bills and save, as long as I stick to my weekly allowance. There is real freedom in that! I wish I’d discovered this book sooner, but so grateful to have found it now.”
Estelle⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Thank you so much for writing your book. We have been budgeting for over a decade and it has always been a lot of frustration and lots of failed attempts. There is no way I will keep this new knowledge to myself. The world need to know what it means to budget happy!
Joana⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I started with your spreadsheet last September (1 year ago) with £30,000 short term debt. I have just reached 50% paid off. THANK YOU. I could not have achieved this much without you. I am obsessed with the tracking and nerdy plan facts. I love trying to “beat” it. I also have a budget for Christmas and car repairs for the first time in my life! Thank you again & again.”
Sarah⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Yours is the only budgeting system which tells me what I really need to know i.e. if/when we are at a pressure point. It enables me to predict where we are. Thank you so much for the work you are putting into this project. I’m sure it will help a lot of people and it is certainly helping me!”
Adrian⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Thank you for providing these amazing resources! This is the first spreadsheet I’ve found that does everything I need and clearly lays out the benefits of early payments and avalanche v. snowball payments. It’s been super helpful as I come up to graduation.”
Kimberlee⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I want to thank you for the great program you released for free. Right now, it is a great help for me to manage a big mess of numerous debts.”
Ashlee⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I have to say I love what you have done with the budget spreadsheet as well as the debt payoff spreadsheet. I can’t wait to spend more time working on improving our budget using your budgeting sheet! I really think it will help us better control the “flow” of our money.”
