meet Melanie
Hey There, I’m Melanie! I am a former CPA turned personal finance blogger and mom of three. When I began budgeting, I found myself overwhelmed with all of the details of tracking my budget monthly. It seemed like a big task, and I needed it broken down into smaller steps. My husband and I started using the Budget by Paycheck forms and paid off $20k of student loan debt in 12 months, while living on ONE income! Now, I love to teach others financial literacy through budgeting, saving, and investing education, all to the glory of God.

Its time you took the stress and confusion out of your finances.
