I celebrate every success story when clients receive a loan modification that enables them to retain their home. This week was another celebration week. A client experienced a loss in their family resulting in less retirement income (when we lose a spouse our social security income will decline, the living spouse will receive the greater of funds his or her partner received rather than 2 checks). With reduced income my client became eligible for a HAMP modification. She received a reduction in payment this week of more than $200 per month. This reduction will enable this client to retain their home and live in greater financial serenity.

I am excited to launch this new blog, Financial Serenity Today. I work as a Financial Coach in the in the nonprofit sector. I bring the unique experience of 30-years in the field of finance with an MSW (Masters of Social Work). The goal in my work, the goal of this blog, is to help people become more at peace in their relationship to money, and thereby find greater peace, hope, well-being in their lives. This blog is not about how to build a road to riches, for wealth is not best measured in terms of net worth or income. Wealth is most truly achieved in living a life that is true to your spirit and within which you can achieve financial serenity. My hope is that this blog contributes in some small way to you on your journey.
I welcome your questions, comments, feedback on any matters financial. I will respond to the best of my ability and welcome comments and input from others to enhance our collective wisdom. As is always true in matters financial, this is an interactive tool based on less than complete information about your specific circumstances, do use this blog to supplement your understanding of your financial situation, and do consult with appropriate financial and legal experts as appropriate.
