Seriously, that’s it?” Why money classes aren’t enough

by Tracy Latona |

“Seriously, that’s it?”

That’s what you probably thought when that money class or TikTok video on debt freedom ended, like watching a Marvel movie without the post-credit scene.

You’re left hungry for more, holding puzzle pieces but missing the box with the picture (and probably a few crucial corner pieces too).

You learned something, sure. But not enough to create the lasting change you’re desperately craving.

  • The stress and anxiety about your finances? Still there like that clingy ex who won’t stop texting.
  • The confidence to handle money decisions? Still missing like socks in the dryer.
  • The ability to be wildly generous? Still feels like a distant dream in a galaxy far, far away.

Initial excitement fizzles as you try implementing these generic tools by yourself. And frustratingly, you’re still not seeing results.

Here’s what those classes are missing: The perfect balance of personalized practical application AND identity transformation.

They give you great tools – budgeting methods, debt snowballs, savings strategies – but not the personalized guidance on how to implement them in YOUR unique situation. And they certainly don’t address the mindset shifts needed for lasting change.

They don’t address who you BELIEVE you are with money – the stories you tell yourself, the patterns you’ve inherited, the identity you’ve built around finances. And that’s where the real magic happens!

First, let me say: I’m proud of you for taking that step to search for tools. That shows commitment and hope!

But here’s the truth – it’s not your fault you didn’t get what YOU specifically need:

A 1-1 guide who’s been where you are – someone who’s paid off debt, built emergency savings, and learned to work with their spouse on finances…

…someone who can give you hope, exact steps, and accountability so you finally get the results you desire.

What you wish you had:

  • Help with YOUR unique situation (not generic advice that fits you like those “one-size-fits-all” pants that definitely don’t)
  • Accountability to stay committed (because let’s be real, we all need someone to lovingly call us out when we’re about to blow the budget at Target)
  • A complete identity transformation that changes how you see yourself as a steward of God’s resources
  • Someone to help you rewrite the money scripts in your head that keep playing like that annoying song you can’t shake (You get to be the cycle breaker for your family!)
  • Guidance to change not just your circumstances once, but for a lifetime (this isn’t a financial crash diet!)

Good news: You’re in the right place. No, seriously. This is it.

I’ve been through my own financial transformation journey. I’ve experienced the stress of living paycheck to paycheck (cashing in change jars to eat), to the freedom of becoming debt-free and handling those pesky expensive home repairs with ease.

I know what it takes to move from financial anxiety to confidence.

Through applying both practical tools AND mindset transformation, everything changed in my financial life-and with my walk with God.

Now my husband and I communicate effortlessly about our financial goals. We’re debt-free. We have peace and confidence. And our relationship with the Lord and each other has deepened immeasurably.

And I know you’re craving this stability and confidence, too.

Here’s how you’ll transform your financial life AND how you see yourself as a Steward:

  1. Ignite strategy and structure through a personalized budget and roadmap with bite-sized goals
  2. Unleash the vision of your future to keep you motivated and build discipline that lasts
  3. Transform the mindsets and beliefs that define your money identity (I’ve been called a financial therapist more than once – without the couch or awkward silence!)

You’ll get the roadmap, tools, and accountability with someone who shows you how to use them for YOUR specific situation. Think of me as your personal trainer – but for your finances, and with fewer burpees!
