I escaped the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. Now I help others do the same.

For years, I lived the paycheck-to-paycheck grind. The kind where you check your bank balance before buying groceries. The kind where an unexpected $400 car repair means choosing between fixing it and paying rent on time.

I know what it’s like to count down the days until payday. To Google “how to make $500 fast” at 2am. To feel shame about money stuff you “should” know by now.

I’m not a financial advisor. I’m someone who figured out how to escape the cycle through trial, error, and a lot of spreadsheets. Now I share what works—and what doesn’t—so you don’t have to learn it the hard way.

Every number I share is real. Every strategy I recommend is something I’ve actually tried. This isn’t about becoming a millionaire. It’s about sleeping through the night without money stress.
