Testimonials

We were one of those couples making great money, with little to show for it. Cindy has helped us to see the light at the end of the tunnel—before meeting with her for the first time, we were getting in over our heads. She helped us come up with a plan, which was huge for us. She gave us so much valuable information and really helped us through the emotional part. She was always available to us with great advice to our questions. It’s so nice to know where every dollar is going and to have control over our money! We are very grateful to have worked with Cindy and appreciate her so much.

Cindy not only helped us tremendously with getting our finances straightened out, she also gave us the tools so that we can continue on this positive path on our own for years to come. She was always available whenever we needed her or had questions. Our marriage has been strengthened through this process, as finances have always been an issue for us. We are so thankful for her wisdom and guidance.

I vividly remember Cindy greeting my wife and me, and telling us there was a way to get out of the large amount of debt we had. That's when it hit me in the face ... we had a large amount of debt! I had been minimizing the debt as it was solely law school student loans and therefore was "good" debt. But Cindy (and Dave!) helped us realize that debt is debt and there is nothing good about it. What transpired over the months of meeting with her was life changing. Cindy helped us craft a lean and reasonable budget that worked for us. She helped us implement our cash based envelope system. She eventually made us take the reins and do it on our own, offering helpful guidance and suggestions along the way. She did all of this in a very friendly and helpful manner. And guess what? When we started to earmark every dollar we made, we found that we had all this extra money to throw at our debt. We found we could live on an even leaner budget than we ever imagined. Most importantly, we began to change our mindset about what we wanted for our future in terms of debt and finances. As I write this, we have paid off $84,000 in school loans in 11 months and are now DEBT FREE! We owe this to God for His blessings in our life, to the teachings and principles of Dave Ramsey, and to Cindy Gleason for helping us implement those principles and teachings. I firmly believe that we would still have no idea where our money was going if it weren't for Cindy and her help.

After my divorce, I found myself in substantial debt for the first time. Despite my six figure salary, I had no experience with monthly budgeting and I was sinking. Cindy helped me with the basics of budgeting and also with the skills of self control and empowerment. She was worth every penny, and I have recommended her to several friends.

We thank you for teaching us how to be in control of our money! It was definitely money well spent to have you coaching us. We wouldn't be where we are today without you teaching and encouraging us, and letting us know that life happens whether we are on a budget or not. We know how to handle it better now, and we don't have to use credit. You made us aware of where our money is going, and have given us knowlege and tools we need for the rest of our lives. We really appreciate it. Thank you!

Although we are only three months into our program with you, we have already achieved much more than I thought possible.Thanks to what you are teaching us, we have already paid off 2 credit cards and are attacking the 3rd. I told you in our first meeting that I would stay up at night worrying about how to get rid of this mountain of debt! While I am not happy that I accumulated it, I am happy knowing that we have a plan and the skills to become debt free. Plus, as newlyweds, we are learning these skills together and we actually look forward to sitting down every two weeks and planning our budget. It makes both of us feel engaged and empowered in the spending as well as saving aspects of budgeting. Thanks to the skills you are teaching us, we should be out of debt in about a year, and I can assure you that three months ago I didn't think that was possible! Thanks again for all that you are teaching us. You truly are a blessing!

When I first consulted Cindy, I really didn’t think my financial situation was so bad, but Cindy enlightened me in many aspects. She taught me how to prioritize payments and allocate dollar by dollar on paper. Her honest, straight-forward approach was exactly what I needed to see the reality of my situation. I was so pleased with Cindy and her guidance that I decided to stay with her for an additional 6 months, and I am really glad I did. The skills she teaches are lifelong skills and result in a change in behavior toward budgeting and money. Thank you, Cindy!

My wife and I were recently married and we both had a lot of financial baggage. After months of talking about budgeting and trying to come up with a plan on our own, we realized we needed outside help. Cindy helped us get squared away, and actually helped us learn to take control of where all of our money was going every month. It wasn’t easy, but any behavior change is hard at first, and Cindy encouraged us through thick and thin. Once we learned to make a plan and follow it, we wonder how in the world we ever lived without a budget. Cindy is a great person, easy to get along with, and wants to help you to succeed in life.

At a time in our lives when we were absolutely drowning financially, my husband got online looking for a good counselor or coach to help us survive. When we met for our consultation with Cindy, we knew right off that she would very much be the person to help get us to financial freedom. She is very personable and genuinely interested in helping her clients achieve their goals. During financial coaching, we have experienced the beginning of financial freedom for the first time in years. Everything has turned around, burdens have been lifted, and the light at the end of the tunnel is now in view. We absolutely could not have done this without God’s direction to Cindy. Her talent in guiding and directing us to make some very positive changes are leading us to the life we have always wanted.

Thank you for everything you have taught me. I have learned so much through your guidance and support. I am eager to take the information you have given me and utilize it in my life. I feel ready to make smart decisions! The path you have prepared for me has been laid out effectively for me to follow. Once again, thank you for your guidance, patience, and friendship. You have generated a confidence in me that I did not have before. Thank you so much Cindy and may God bless you.

Before we met Cindy we felt like we were drowning and we asked ourselves “How can we improve our financial situation?" We both work and we make good money, but with three kids, mortgage, utility bills, car problems, to us it seemed impossible. We were stressed and tired and decided to take action. That’s when we decided to schedule an appointment with a professional financial coach, Cindy Gleason. She paid attention to every detail of our finances and guided us in the right direction by teaching us how to plan out a budget each month to fit our needs. With her guidance and the budgeting process that she taught us, as the months went by it was easier to handle the pressure of our financial situation. It’s now been over a year and thanks to following Cindy's advice, we have managed to take control of our finances. Prior to financial coaching, our future and our goals seemed to be fading away. One year after completing financial coaching, things are so much better. Life is good! Bad habits no longer control our emotions when it comes to spending our money. Now the only regret from all this, is that we should have enrolled a lot sooner. Thank you Cindy!

It is easy to see why you are a successful financial coach. You are very easy to talk with and have a great knowledge of the subject matter. You are able to break down difficult concepts and make them understandable. Your passion and caring attitude are very evident.

Six months ago, even with a six figure combined income, we were in debt and routinely ran late on all our bills. Today, we are successfully budgeting each month and telling each dollar where to go. In addition, we have an emergency fund and are building our debt-reduction fund. In fact, we've already begun settling some of the old debts and are well on our way to becoming debt-free! We have greatly benefited from your coaching. You showed us how to set up the monthly budget, and as unexpected expenses came up, how to re-allocate the funds to cover them without going over budget. You also passed along great suggestions for saving money. As we made mistakes, you helped us to get back on track. You helped us deal with creditors and also helped us cope with the guilt and fear that goes along with being in debt. We couldn't have made it without your encouragement! We truly believe that God sent us to you. This has been a life-changing experience, and we are beginning to feel the wonderful financial peace that Dave Ramsey talks about.
