I bet your relationship with money is complicated.
Hi! I’m Litsa (she/her) and I help Gen Xers and older Millennials move beyond paycheck-to-paycheck living, build greater financial stability, and make intentional financial decisions that support the life they want.
I know it was for me. And it still is. But my relationship with money has changed a lot over the years and for the better. But it was a long road.
How we think about and spend money is shaped by our experiences, our fears, and what we've been taught to want or believe we deserve. Money is about more than numbers, which is why managing it can feel so confusing and frustrating.
It’s one of those simple things in life that’s really, really complicated. But it’s possible to move away from the shame, guilt and frustration to stability and feel like you have control of your money and not the other way around.
“Coming out of the marriage in 2025 I was broke, had no money skills and was terrified. Litsa helped me learn how to use YNAB’s tools to gain control and understanding of my spending, and begin to plan for a stable financial future.”
