Alisha's Story

Why did you come to the Financial Empowerment Center?

I came to the Financial Empowerment Center because I was struggling with debt that I needed to get out of. I also needed to learn how to budget my money and learn about saving money and planning for retirement.

What financial achievements have you made since coming to the FEC?

I have accomplished a great deal with the help of the FEC and my amazing financial coach. I have completely paid off all my credit card debt, increased my credit score, and now have a solid plan for saving for my future. I now have a great budget plan that I am using, and it helps me to stay on track and achieve my financial goals.

Why and how has the FEC made a difference in your financial future and overall life? What has working with a Financial Coach done to help you, your family, etc.? What would you say to a friend or family member who was curious about how the FEC could help them?

Working with the FEC has completely improved my life. I am now confident when it comes to my finances, and I feel like I have gained the knowledge to maintain my financial success in the future. I now know and understand how to stay debt free while creating a savings for myself. I no longer am stressed when it comes to money. I feel like with the help of my financial budget I have a plan. I even look forward to updating the information on my budget and sharing the knowledge that I have gained with those around me. I feel like through the help of the FEC I now have the knowledge for myself and for my children as well, so that they do not need to make the same financial mistakes that I once made. I would highly recommend FEC to help you with your financial needs. The knowledge that I have gained through this program will last a lifetime.

Do you plan to continue working with your Financial Coach to achieve specific goals? What goals? How can the FEC help you achieve these goals?

Yes, I do plan on continuing to work with my financial coach to achieve my goals. I think she is absolutely amazing and I could not have accomplished this without her help. I am currently working on building my savings and my next goal is to start putting money aside for retirement and learn more about investing.
