Caroline & Edward (Lake Charles, LA)

“We lead super busy lives. We both work full-time and have a daughter. We felt like we were constantly bleeding money with no idea how to make it stop. We had tried budgeting apps like Mint, and spent countless hours making budgets in Excel, but it still felt like this dark cloud was following us around.

Learning from your spouse, especially when neither of you really know what to do next, can be challenging to say the least! We were so thankful to have Berkeley teach us exactly what steps to take and be there for us as we had questions along the way.

Now, we're so much more mindful of our spending, and feel like we have the tools to plan for big expenses (like daycare!) before they hit. We can also visualize where our money is going rather than feeling like it's all just floating in a fog with no organization. 

The constant stress and anxiety about where our money is going has finally been relieved. Even though we are not perfect all of the time, we have a solid plan and concrete foundation for moving forward, and feel so much more confident about handling our finances in the future.”
