“I was caught in a cycle of paying off high interest credit card debt… Paying so much in minimums and interest every month, only to continue to use my credit card because I had spent all my extra cash paying down my balances.

There were always things that came up unexpectedly, or at least they felt unexpected to me at the time. I could never get my head above water, and it felt like there was no way out.

When I signed on with Money Grooves, I was scared shitless that I was going to have to make huge changes in my lifestyle and would be a loser staying in every weekend rather than going out with friends and seeing live music. I was also scared to actually change my mentality around money and really take a long hard look at my finances, which I had been avoiding up to this point.

Since working with Berkeley, my lifestyle has changed literally zero. I still enjoy all the same things I did before going through the program. My whole mentality with money, however, has changed immensely. I now feel confident not using credit cards anymore, I have savings that grows and grows each month, and I have a solid plan to attack my high interest credit card debt. I am also much more knowledgeable about investing and what specifically I am investing in.

Berkeley doesn’t just teach one method for doing things. It’s the combination of methods and how they’re woven together that makes the Money Grooves approach something that can actually stick long-term.”
