What can I say about Nadya... She probably doesn't realize it, but she has completely changed my life. My husband and I started budgeting earlier this year. Before that, we were living paycheck to paycheck. We would spend money we didn't have on credit and then pay it back when we got paid. We have a pretty healthy income, but we struggled with hitting out goals.
When I had my first consultation with Nadya, I was almost embarrassed going over my spending with her. It was outrageous to say aloud. 2k a month on personal misc spending? 1k on groceries for two people? 400 on alcohol and eating out? I have two words for you, Lifestyle Creep! Omg. I had no idea it was that bad, even though I was budgeting each month and looking right at it! Sometimes you need someone to come along and put the smack down on you. And Nadya did it in a very soft, non judgemental way. I was the one having a hard time with it. She just encouraged me to do better. We made a plan and she gave me advice on how to save money on groceries. I followed it all and now our savings rate is out of this world. We are moving forward paying off our debts and saving for our emergency fund. We are set to have both of those done by June 2021. read more
