Cara (Charleston, SC)

“Before I started working with Berkeley, I was lost! I felt like I was spending all my money as soon as I got it, and was stressed and frustrated with myself that I wasn’t able to solve this problem. I had downloaded some of the budgeting apps but hadn't dove into anything because it required WORK. 

Berkeley made difficult concepts approachable and easy to learn. My favorite part about the program was that I hardly had to make any major adjustments to my life – just small changes so that I was spending and saving with more intention.

I also love that she understood my passion for live music. Seeing shows and going on 3-night runs is just a part of my life and wasn’t going anywhere. It really helped knowing that she wasn’t going to make me feel bad about going out of town for 3 nights and spending a bunch of money to see a band.

Now, I actually have legitimate savings! I'm not living paycheck to paycheck so tightly, and feel confident about my finances!

I am so grateful to have such a solid foundation and grip on my money as my life continues to grow and change. The confidence I feel is something I literally never thought I'd have over my finances. I can't wait to continue to learn!”
