I met with a client in late February related to the IDA Saver program. The IDA Saver is a program of United Way of Central Alabama(UWCA) that provides matching down payment assistance (or funds for a business, or funds for education to qualified, income eligible persons and families). Client is a single mother of three. In late February, client's credit score was in the high 400’s. Client did a great job following guidance, and came back in today December). Her credit score increased to 613. She and I were both thrilled with these results. She will move forward with the purchase of a home with UWCA’s help. It is an honor to be able to serve individuals and families in this manner.

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.
