Spending Plan Coaching Services

Life is better when you’re in control of your money. When you know what your values are and you align your spending to your values, you experience spendfulness. YNAB makes it easy for you to live spendfully. Whether you have a lot of money or a little money, YNAB can help you. YNAB, a method and a mindset paired with attractive and accessible software, is easy to use once you get going. But for many people, the learning curve is steep. I can help flatten the learning curve by helping you set up your spending plan and coaching you through the YNAB philosophy and best practices so you can live spendfully.

Janine is very easy to work with and has infinite patience. We worked together via Zoom and with screen sharing, she was able to help me through my personal learning curve. Within a few sessions, I was able to cut several hundred dollars a month in spending without affecting our quality of life at all. YNAB has given me a complete picture of where my money is going and has removed a lot of the stress of figuring out how to pay future bills. Working with Janine to implement YNAB has been a great experience for me (she made the process fun!) and I feel like I have much better control over our spending.

The first step in working together is to schedule a free Discovery Call. During that 20-minute Zoom, we’ll make sure we’re great fit. Then you can decide whether you’d like to book a session (or a few).

If you decide you’d like to work with me, the next step is to choose how many sessions you’d like to purchase up front. (The more sessions you buy, the less expensive each session is.)

Here’s what I’m offering. Just go to my Paperbell shop to buy the number of sessions you want.

YNAB Coaching Sessions

3-pack of 90-minute sessions:  $550. This is great for setting up a brand-new budget or a making a Fresh Start on a budget that’s not been working for you. If you’re new to YNAB or you have a YNAB spending plan that is particularly complicated or tied in a bunch of knots, this might be the package to purchase.

2-pack of 90-minute sessions: $400. For the more experienced YNABer who wants the continuity and accountability of more than one session.

Single 90-minute session: $225. This will allow us to dig into your established YNAB spending plan.

Mini 60-minute session:  $150. Bring your prioritized list of questions about your spending plan and we’ll see how many of them we can answer in an hour.

Micro 30-minute session: $85. If you have a specific question, we can get laser focused on it for a half hour.

You can always buy more sessions after the one(s) you initially purchase are completed.

Spending Plan Zoom Parties

All clients (past and present) are invited to my Close Out the Month YNAB party on the last day of the month on Zoom. Everyone present will work on their own YNAB spending plan, making sure there’s no overspending when the month turns over. I’ll be there working on my YNAB and answering any questions you might have. 

All the packages are listed in my Paperbell shop. Choose the number of sessions that feels right to you and get started feeling peace around your money!

I will never be able to thank you enough for changing my life with YNAB!
