After buying a house and draining much of her savings, this YNAB user feels like she's barely surviving. Between higher bills, home maintenance, and unexpected expenses, she's struggling to get ahead.

In this budget coaching session, we work through how to plan for the entire year instead of reacting to expenses as they come up. We set realistic monthly savings targets, identify spending trade-offs, and build a plan that fits her income.

The goal? Less financial stress, fewer surprises, and a budget that creates stability and peace of mind.
