Enoch & Jacinta's Journey

Follow along to see their progress.

Month 1 | April 2023 

Focus: Budgeting, Settings Goals & All In Financial Tools

Month 1 was a triumph for our family, and we are excited for the information gained and how it is already leading to results. Our coaches taught us the avalanche and snowball effect of managing money, and these methods were effective when we employed them in paying our bills. Like other families probably did, we learned about the 50/30/20 rule and applied it to our monthly income and lifestyle. The final major skill we learned was to monitor our credit scores monthly and credit reports yearly. Our commitment to monitoring our credit score will protect us from any unknown debt from hackers.

A few of the habits we formed within our first month of the program have been decreasing the amount that we eat out, regularly checking our credit score and limiting family entertainment to one weekend a month. Forming healthy financial habits is the first step on the road toward financial freedom, and we have already noticed the impact it is making on our financial outlook. By decreasing how much we eat out each month, we are able to put more money toward bills and worry less.  Limiting our family entertainment to one weekend a month has had a domino effect, as we have grown an affinity for entertaining one another at home by playing board games and Uno. The first month of All In 2 Finances has been enlightening from a financial point of view, but it has also led us to pick up additional hobbies that bring fun and fellowship to the whole family.
