When it comes to managing money do you think...

"

“I don’t know where to start with money. I need a plan to follow to accomplish my goals.”

“Making a budget and sticking to it is very hard. I save and end up spending what I saved.”

“With my new job I have to select my retirement plan but have no clue what to do. How do I figure out what to invest in?!”

“I earn a good living – but I never have a cushion or money for unexpected expenses. I’m having a hard time grasping what I’m doing wrong.”  

"

You don’t need to figure this money stuff out alone.

Whether you’re drowning in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, or already debt-free and want to boost your net worth, Best Money Class Ever will help you get the results you want with money. Go from stressed and unorganized with money to becoming Chief Financial Officer and managing your money like a boss.

You’ll Get:

Focus + Clarity

Overcome analysis paralysis and overwhelm with a step-by-step proven plan. Find out exactly where you stand with money, get clear on where you want to be financially, and follow a roadmap to get you there.

Accountability

You need accountability and a deadline with money goals. You’ll learn how Fortune 500 (billion-dollar companies) stay accountable with money and you can too!

Financial Education

Knowledge is power, but somehow money isn’t taught in school. You can have a PhD, but never learned about 401(k) plans, mortgages, or paying off student loans.

Loren and Bryce tripled their net worth in two years

“The class really motivated me,” said Loren. After attending the class they paid off $24,000 in student loans, saved a six-month emergency fund, and are maxing out their 401(k) plan. This resulted in tripling their net worth.

“Rather than just saying, ‘I want to be debt-free or have $X amount in savings,’ the tools Carly provides are actionable,” said Bryce.

Who is class for?

Best Money Class Ever is for teachers, engineers, musicians, nurses, entrepreneurs, lawyers, military families, and YOU! This class is perfect if you…

Want to stress less about money
Have big dreams for your future like travel or early reitrement
Imagine life without debt payments
Want your money to grow and work for you
Need to get on the same page with your partner
Could use motivation, community, accountability, and pick-me up with money
Want to buy a home or car, but feel overwhelmed

Kim paid off $45,404 in 28 months

Kim tried doing budget after budget, and spreadsheets galore. After making no progress on her own she enrolled in Best Money Class Ever. With tools from class she saw exactly what it’d take to pay off her debt in 36 months or less.

“As soon as I physically saw it was possible, I no longer felt overwhelmed,” said Kim. She’s now 100% debt-free, “I feel on top of the world. I feel like a stronger person.”

The class was very helpful! Carly gives great, honest, straightforward feedback. Information was presented in a way that was relatable and easy to understand. The concrete examples are good, plus I laughed EVERY class. I appreciate the positive attitude and sense of humor!

Krista

I loved Carly’s in depth, personalized response to the exact financial issues I was going through. I felt well guided to know exactly what to focus on in with my finances. I LOVED the class.

Jeremy

I liked the sense of humor, great personality, awesome spreadsheets, good examples, how it was easy to understand, and how everything was broken into obtainable goals! I joined a gym and nutritional class to get in shape. I needed to get my money in shape. This was easier to learn from a “peer” rather than on old stuffy “expert.”

"Thank you Carly for providing an AFFORDABLE financial guide and planning course for beginners!
