Hey, I’m Matt
your financial coach.
Growing up, money was tight. My parents divorced when I was young and my mom raised me on her own for the first couple years of my life. I had no idea the sacrifices she made, such as filing for bankruptcy, just to keep food on the table.
Thankfully, my dad later came back into my life. I lived with him and six half-siblings on the weekends. Like my mom, he made money-saving sacrifices I didn’t understand at the time, like cramming us into a two-bedroom house along with my grandmother and uncle.
As I got older and came to understand the financial struggles both my parents endured, something shifted within me.
I wanted to build a life free of financial stress.
Where money wasn’t the first thing on my mind every morning or the thing keeping me up at night.
Where security wasn’t just a hope, but a reality shaped by knowledge and action.
Where I wasn’t just surviving paycheck to paycheck, but could make decisions about my life from a place of empowerment, clarity, and financial stability.
So I set out to build that life for myself.
I started realizing how difficult it was to find guidance and support. I felt like I was on my own. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but eventually it started to make sense.
After years of paying down loans and teaching myself money principles, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I could finally put more energy into the things I enjoy — traveling, rock climbing, and going to concerts with friends.
My wife and I even saved up enough money to quit our jobs and take a sabbatical. We are currently traveling through South America!
