My Story

Hi, friend! I’m Jaclyn, a math teacher by day and budgeting Jedi by night. I rock everything geek - I literally had braces twice, can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute, and named our home Wi-Fi networks after Star Wars and Lord of the Rings icons.

But - in spite of my ultra-nerdiness and affinity for numbers - not too long ago, I was in your shoes. I couldn’t figure out my own money.

Six years after graduating college, I couldn’t believe that I was STILL living paycheck to paycheck. I thought that once I finally had a “real job,” money would be easy, but I was still so stressed about my finances.

That was four years ago, and I can still remember exactly how it felt.
