Becky, cleaning business owner and part-time grocery store worker, and David, marketing photographer and videographer, are busy parents to two young girls, Neva and Violet. They live with cats Oliver and Poe in an old Victorian house – where needed remodels have drained savings. They can’t wait to build up savings with budget help from Project Money!
Q: Why did you apply for Project Money?
A: We are hoping that Project Money will give us the guidance, discipline and tools we need to get things back on track. We would like to start making a dent in our debt, build up savings for emergencies and then be able to save up for family vacations.
Q: What do you feel is the value of getting to work with a Summit Financial Coach?
A: What we are doing right now isn’t working. We are getting by, but it feels like we are just treading water and we need help swimming forward. Getting to work one-on-one with an expert would be very beneficial!
Q: What emotions come to mind when you think about money?
A: Overwhelmed, stressed and worried about our future – and most importantly the girls’ futures. Our oldest daughter has down syndrome and we want to set her up for her future, especially when we are not around.
Q: How would having that financial confidence and security impact your life overall?
A: If we had financial confidence and security, we wouldn’t be stressed about the future as much and be able to live in the now. Our girls are young and I feel like we miss a lot of precious moments because we’re too busy being stressed or worried about money.
Q: What impact do you think this experience will have on your kids?
A: Hopefully we will be able to help them out financially in the future, but we also hope that we can instill some knowledge and financial responsibility in them. We want to take what we learned from this experience and pass it on to them.
Q: Fun fact about you?
A: Since we bought our house, Becky has discovered a love for gardening and is constantly improving our yard. She loves to crochet and knit and is very crafty. David enjoys photography, cooking and trying new hobbies. We went to Peru on our honeymoon and would love to travel more, especially now with Neva and Violet.
We’re so excited to see where your Project Money journey takes you, Becky and David!
