About Us

Welcome. I was privileged to serve our great country for over 20 years in the U.S. Army. I'm a trained financial coach and a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University Coordinator. I hold an MBA with a concentration in HR, and I'm Level III certified in Program Management from the Defense Acquisition University. 

I believe that people are sick and tired of their financial situation. I believe in providing hope to families showing them that they don't have to live paycheck-to-paycheck and be a slave to the lender. It is sad that 8 out of 10 working Americans can't come up with $400 for an emergency without borrowing money. Think about that for a moment - people have car loans, credit cards, cable, internet, cell phones, lines of credit and they can't cover a $400 emergency. But people have enough room on credit cards to take vacations they can't afford - then they spend the rest of the year making minimum payments on the credit card to pay themselves back for vacation!

It's time to change your behavior to change your family tree! Let me be blunt - we are here for you, to provide hope, understanding, compassion and coach you into a better way of saving money, reducing debt and showing you positive behaviors to accomplish your financial goals - however, we will not do the work for you - we will coach you. If you are ready to change, we are ready to coach!

Remember: you are not a victim of your financial choices, your situation is the result of your financial choices...   - Chuck Johnston

Hi!  If you are thinking about working with a Financial Coach, a good fit is important. Here's a little bit about me.

I became a Financial Coach because I know what it's like to feel behind the power-curve and stressed about money. So, my coaching style is compassionate, analytical and encouraging.

Chuck and I took Financial Peace University in 2008. When we married, we took control of our finances, and accomplished more together than we ever could have separately. Now, we share a vision for our future and work towards it every day, one intentional dollar at a time.

If we could do it, you can do it, too. You work 8+ hours a day, but who are you working for? Are you working for your future and dreams, or for the credit card company, the mortgage company, the student loan company, the car lender, etc? 

Do not let another paycheck slip by without having a plan. Before you know it, a month will pass, then a year and time keeps marching on. 

It is not too late for you to make a difference. 

Everybody has a financial goal, a wish, a desire, a dream. What's yours? 

Today is the best day to get started.  - Lyss Johnston
