Need help dealing with your messed up finances? I can help!

If you are overwhelmed by excessive debt and struggle to manage your money month after month, this is exactly what you need. The number one cause of divorce is couples arguing about money. It's so important to get your finances under control.

I have a variety of simple, common-sense strategies I use to help people get their finances back on track. I've helped hundreds of people find clarity in their personal finances. And now I want to help you do the same!

Do any of these sound familiar?

You have a job and you make pretty good money, but it seems like you're always broke. Especially those last few days before payday, you're scrounging for change in the couch just to have enough gas in your car. That's no fun.

Or you're trying to get your credit cards paid off, but it seems like the balances only go UP and never go DOWN. That's so stressful.

Or you walk into a store planning to buy just one thing, but you walk out with 3 bags of stuff and are wondering what just happened. I can totally relate. I used to do that all_the_time.

Or you go to buy a house or a car and they give you a hard time because your credit score is so low. It can even affect your ability to get a job or get approved for an apartment. That's a real deal-breaker. Let me help you take some steps to get that credit score back where you need it to be. It's definitely fixable, but it's going to take a bit of work and dedication.

I'll bet you and your partner argue about money - a lot. Most couples have different ideas about how to manage money, so getting both of you on the same page is stressful, but one person's poor money habits can really derail your family's financial future. Pointing the blame finger at each other constantly. That's a lot of unnecessary stress, isn't it?

I’m here to help you in a judgement-free zone. I will give you helpful spreadsheets and advice to help you understand the issues and what to do.

We will review your entire financial situation and come up with real-life solutions that are easy to implement and that WORK to eliminate your debt and get your spending under control.

Sometimes you need an extra set of eyes on the problem. I am a kind and caring person who wants you to succeed and has the tools and expertise to bring clarity to the situation.

How could your life be better if you were debt-free?

Life with debt is stressful and uncertain. Becoming debt-free or even reducing your debt could open up your life to wonderful new possibilities. You could work fewer hours, save for college or retirement, travel the world, all sorts of exciting options. This is a personalized approach that is tailored to YOUR unique financial situation.

What if you could...

Stop having late payments and penalty fees, get your credit cards under control, and have a way to get your monthly budget under control. Having peace in your financial life is priceless! You’ll sleep better, worry less, and not fight with your family about money all the time, because you’ll have a plan that everyone can get on board with.

Introducing

PERSONALIZED debt-free Coaching

This program is designed for people who are FED UP with living in debt and disarray with their money strategies. I will hold your hand through the process, give you tips to get your spouse or family to help, share ideas about how to budget your money and simple strategies to pay monthly bills on time, handle impulse shopping situations, and show you exactly how the credit card companies work hard to increase their bottom line by keeping you in permanent debt.

Don’t be fooled – this is not a magic pill. The debt problems didn’t appear overnight and they’re not doing to disappear overnight. It’s going to take a positive attitude and a good amount of hard work. But if you could do it on your own, you’d have done it by now, right? It’s time to reach out for some help!

Here's what you'll get

I'll provide a Dave Ramsey-style debt snowball spreadsheet where I will show you exactly what is going on with your debt and how your high interest rates may be causing big problems for you. It will also give you a monthly timeline for a debt strategy to pay off your credit cards in the fastest, most efficient manner possible.
I also have a zero-based monthly budget spreadsheet for you to use every month to gauge your expenses and nudge your spending back into line with your income and your debt payment plan.
I will provide you with an Ebook full of my best helpful tips, personal finance podcasts, blog posts, websites, and apps to help you automate your bill paying efforts and make the budgeting process very quick and easy.
We will wrap it all up with a 30-minute Zoom call to go over the spreadsheets in detail and work together to come up with a plan to plug your money leaks so you'll have more money every month. I have a number of helpful strategies to encourage you to spend less and earn more every month to get out of debt FASTER.

I’ve been blogging about financial issues and saving money for more than a decade using the lessons I learned from Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, Napoleon Hill, and other experts in personal finance. Now I’m working to pay it forward.

I spent almost 30 years as a Financial Analyst for Wells Fargo and I’ve learned a lot about managing money. Since my retirement, I’ve been using my skills and experience to help hundreds of people get their finances on track.

I also run a successful freelance business as a blogger and a virtual assistant, so I have years of experience in running a small business and earning a consistent income with a variety of income streams.

This is for you if...

If you've been dealing with excess debt and financial chaos for YEARS. I've known lots of people who just didn't think it was possible to change. I used to think that myself, but if I can get my money under control, I can help you get yours straightened out too!
You're TIRED of the fighting and struggles over money. Fighting over money is a leading factor in divorce and also a big source of friction between kids and parents. I've got lots of tips that can help.
You are committed to the process and READY to make some big changes. You can't do this because someone else is nagging you or wants you to change. You have to want this MORE THAN ANYTHING or it isn't going to work.

This is not for you if...

If you aren't willing to do the WORK. It's going to take some time and effort and a bit of belt-tightening. I get that you're busy - we are ALL busy, but you've got to be willing to find the time to make YOUR money a priority. I can help you, but I CAN'T do it for you.
You aren't willing to change. This process is going to require a flexible attitude and a new way of looking at your spending. I'm not going to judge you or criticize you, but I will ask tough questions and be honest with you.
If you aren't willing to share honestly about your financial picture. I get that it's a little weird to share such personal info with a stranger, but I'm dedicated to helping you. I've helped so many others, I definitely can help you too.

what's your gut feeling? do you think this will work for you?

The nice thing about this program is that it is specifically tailored to YOU and YOUR particular challenges. This isn’t some one-size-fits-all plan. But you’ve got to be ready to put in the time and effort to make the changes required. If you do, you WILL see some major changes in your financial picture. It takes less than an hour of your time to help you clear up issues that may have been brewing for YEARS. That’s not something a lot of people are offering. Why not give it a try?

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I just want the spreadsheets?

Sure. If you feel weird discussing your money situation with a stranger or don’t want to do a Zoom call, I’m happy to just sell you the spreadsheets for $27. They will help you a lot. Email me at AdriansCrazyLife@gmail.com and I’ll send you an invoice. But I recommend the Zoom call.

My schedule is pretty busy. When are you available for calls?

You can look at my schedule on Calendly.com/adrianscrazylife/30min. My schedule is pretty flexible, although I do reserve the morning hours for my own personal tasks. I can add in some extra times upon request, even though they may not show as available on my calendar.

What's your refund policy?

Digital items like spreadsheets are not refundable and it takes me time to plan the strategy and set aside time for the Zoom call, so the only way I would refund is if I were unable to deliver on what I’ve promised.

What do you need from me?

Pretty basic stuff. I’ll have a questionnaire for you about your situation. I’ll need your debt info including total balances and interest rates, and then your monthly stuff like income, rent, childcare, utilities, etc. Shouldn’t take you more than 20 minutes to pull together.

I don't want to do anything like crazy couponing or track every penny.

No worries there. I don’t even know how to coupon and I’m not going to suggest anything extreme or crazy. Most of it is just common sense steps like cutting back on fast food, or renegotiating your interest rates.

Can you FIX my credit?

No, I don’t deal with credit agencies at all. I can advise you on a few things that will help improve your credit score, but this is not a credit repair service. There are plenty of other people who can help with that. This is personal finance coaching only.

It's go time - are you in or out??

I’d love to help you, but it’s up to you. What do you think is going to be your best chance to make the changes to ensure a great financial future? Having someone to coach you through the process could make a huge difference. I have helped a lot of other people. But if you’re not ready for it right now, I can respect that.
