Je’Lisa, an Insurance Claims Manager, and Cory, a Fabrication Worker, who are parents to a 9-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son, have helped their family get on their way to overcoming financial stress and living the life they want, more freely.
Let’s give it up for Je’Lisa and Cory, who will be taking home lasting financial lessons and the $10,000 grand prize! These two entered Project Money wanting to show their kids and community that you shouldn’t be ashamed to ask for help. They showed up week after week, not only committed to establishing better habits, but also having fun while doing it! 
  • Here’s how Project Money has impacted life for Je’Lisa and Cory:
    “We talk openly about finances now. We’ve also gotten better at planning for bigger ticket items, such as trips. It has put us in a better position to achieve our long-term dream of owning a home. The weight has been lifted off our shoulders.”
  • Their “aha” moment:
    “The impact of interest rates on credit cards. And also reviewing our credit card statements to know how much interest we were paying for each card.”
  • What’s on the horizon for Je’Lisa and Cory?
    “We will be saving for a HOME! And we’ll continue to educate others about the importance of financial literacy, hopefully mentoring youth in the process. And of course, more financial stability for us and making good decisions with our money.”
