About Me
Hey, my name is Clarissa and I’m the Budget Queen! I am a single mom of 2 who loves everything personal finance. I know budgeting and saving is hard and investing is a nightmare. So, I’m here to help you improve your finances by creating money making side hustles, budgeting smart, crushing savings goals, and fixing, building, and maintaining your credit. I created this blog to help women gain the competence and confidence they need to manage their money.
More About Me
I’ve been in the finance world since 2008 where I started out working in a bank learning everything about credit cards. I’ve been helping people since then get their finances in order by assisting with creating budgets, building their credit, and saving money.
It took me 10 years to complete my Bachelor’s Degree just because what I wanted to be when I grew up kept changing. I switched my major 5 times and with that comes a whole different set of requirements to graduate. The amount of credits I had were unreal. I also transferred twice and with transferring they drop you back to sophomore status each time. The first time I transferred I only had a semester before I graduated and the second time I only had 2 classes before graduation. I didn’t care, I needed to finish and when I did I went right on to my Masters. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Business Administration.
I’ve always been obsessed with budgeting and saving since I was a little girl. As I got older and learned about credit, I wanted mine to be the best. Currently, my credit is over 810 and my friends and family always ask me how I do it, what can they do to get perfect credit, or how can they save money. I would help them change their habits and gave them strategies that improved their finances forever. I decided to package it all up and help others, people I don’t know, who may be struggling financially to get ahead.
So here I am.
