Organization is the name of the game and often is a major cause of just feeling “financially lost.” Getting organized is empowering and gives us the confidence to make financial decisions. Rhonda has come a long way over the past several months in this area. Just by installing some simple organization into her finances, Rhonda truly has become empowered.

Although she has made tremendous strides, she is always on the lookout for ways to increase her monthly surplus that she can use to build savings and pay down debt. Often times I will see families make big changes at first and then lose motivation. This is not the case with Rhonda. Complacent is not a word that describes Rhonda. You can tell that she is pushing herself to get out of her comfort zone and learn how to better her position. It is exciting to watch her build confidence and enjoy the rewards of being in control of her finances.

Attaining financial fitness is not a sprint but a marathon, and I think Rhonda has grasped this idea. I look forward to the second half of this year’s contest to see what she can do.
