🌈 You need someone to guide you through where to start and get trusted advice on what to do next 🌈
👀 You’re open to doing some candid self reflection on where you are with your finances, where you want to be, and what it will take to get there 👀
⁉️You don’t know exactly what questions to ask, so you want someone to help you look at everything and ask you the questions ⁉️
✅ You know if you get pointed in the right direction, you can take care of the rest ✅
⚡️You’re ready to start prioritizing your goals, taking an honest look at your expenses, and make real change ⚡️
Here's how we'll work together:
Let's get in!
NUDGE includes 4 strategy calls which will be held over 2 months (about 2 weeks apart) with some homework in between:
1 | Onboarding Call
The first video call will guide you through how to use the technology to organize your finances and categorize your expenses. You'll learn how to review your expenses closely and begin to understand how your personal cash flow works.
2 | Core Values Call
We'll help you hone in on a personal Core Values statement that we'll use as our guiding light for our strategy. We'll learn more about your goals and priorities and you'll begin to get clarity on your income and spending.
3 | Cash Flow Call
We will build out a monthly budget and 12-month cash flow for your income and expenses (both business and personal if you have any freelance income!). We'll also have recommendations for spending, saving, credit, and debt pay down.
4 | Observations Call
On our last strategy call, we will review all your financial documents and put together our observations and recommendations on your investments, insurance, taxes, estate planning and will map out how the rest of our year is going to look. You'll have clear next steps and know what needs to get done.
Let's get it done!
Here's what we will go through together in NUDGE. We'll get to everything, promise 🙂
⭐️ MONTHLY CASH FLOW - Know exactly how much you're making and spending each month and be able to plan where you want it to go
⭐️ SAVINGS & BANK ACCOUNTS - No more guessing how much you can put away each month and where to put it. Know much to put towards savings and streamline your bank accounts
⭐️CREDIT ANALYSIS - We will do a full credit score/report analysis so you know exactly how to increase your score over the next 1-2 years and be in a good position to reach big goals
⭐️ DEBT PAYDOWN - Should you do a balance transfer? Consolidate? How do you manage student loans? What are your best options are for paying down debt while still saving?
⭐️ INVESTMENTS - Should you be contributing to your 401k? Traditional or Roth? How much should you start investing each month? What should you invest in?
⭐️TAX PLANNING - Are you maximizing your current tax situation? What can you deduct as a freelancer? Are you letting the government borrow too much of your money?
⭐️ INSURANCE - We'll go over your health, life, disability, home/renters/auto insurance, oh my! We'll make sure the assets you've built are properly protected.
⭐️ ESTATE PLANNING - We'll talk about what will happen (to your money) when you die. Do you need Will? Health care proxy? Power of Attorney? All of the above? Are your beneficiaries listed correctly?
Let's get you going!
✅ NUDGE includes 30 days of unlimited email support following the 4 strategy calls
Often, the hardest part about having a plan is making sure it all gets done. It's exciting and overwhelming all at once. While you know you're great at following through on tasks, sometimes you get stuck and despite your best intentions, it ends up never getting done.
We want to help you get unstuck while you have the momentum, so we want you to email us any and all of your questions for the next 30 days. Don't be shy, we're here to help.
Let us be your financial advocates
✅ NUDGE includes one financial advocate call within 3 months for when you're reeeallly stuck
Sometimes, the hardest part about getting your financial stuff done is knowing what to say to that financial institution on the phone or how to answer that weird question on an application. Now you have us on your side.
A huge part of the work we do and how we can serve you is to be your financial advocate by being on the phone with you and making sure we ask all the right questions to your student loan carrier or debt collector or doing a screen share together to finally open that IRA or apply for a new credit card.
