WELCOME TO FABULOUS FINANCES!
I'm Monique and I am ridiculously passionate about helping you feel fabulous about your finances and in turn, feel fabulous about your life!
Why do I care about you feeling fabulous?
Firstly, because everyone deserves to feel fabulous! And secondly, because I have spent too much time over the last few years not feeling fabulous, and I know how miserable it can be.
What was stopping me feeling fabulous?
Plain and simply, my finances.
When I chose to give up my teaching career to raise and homeschool our children, I knew that my financial situation would change. What I didn't anticipate was how it would make me feel becoming financially dependent on my husband and on the limited funds he gave me each month. No longer was the money readily available for me to pursue my interests and dreams, or to make an impact in the lives of those around me. And that made me miserable.
I've always had dreams - wild and wonderful dreams of things I want to do, but now things were different.I quickly realised that if I wanted to achieve anything I needed to have my own personal finances in order. I needed to have fabulous finances! I also realised that fulfilling my dreams is not dependent on the amount of money I have, but on how I steward the money I do have. I knew these two things were key.
I believe our dreams are so precious. Having goals that you are working towards that you believe in and that fill your heart with joy and anticipation is so important. Dreams and goals help us to focus on what matters as well as helping us to shape our lives, but it all has to start with our finances.
No matter what dreams we have, they don't just happen. They take time, intention, and often money.
It is a sad fact that in this day and age we can do very little without money. Granted, not everything costs money and there is much you can do without money, but generally it plays a huge part in our lives.
I realised that I needed a way to manage the finances I did have, easily and effectively. No one teaches us how to manage our finances effectively, but I knew I had to find a way to manage the money I had coming in as well as my expenses, to pay off debt and also to save for the things I really wanted to do.
I wanted something that easily allowed me to see how much money I had at any given moment, and also to be able to track how much I was spending. Simple right? Apparently not…
I hunted around and although I found many options such as apps that promised that they could help me, they were either so complicated that I'd needed a PhD to understand them, or they didn't enable me to keep track of all my finances easily or in one place.
I knew there must be an easier way. So, with my background being in Graphic Design I decided to see if I could design some kind of visual system where I could track all my finances in one place.
I love pretty things, so I set about creating a system that would not only enable me to keep track of all my finances, but would look yummy too! I love a good system so I decided to challenge myself to try and design a system that was self-totalling and would take all the hard work out of totalling my finances up and making sure that everything balanced!
I didn't even know if this was possible, but after many unsuccessful attempts, my first finance tracker was born. It was a bit clunky and needed some serious refining but I developed my ideas further and eventually my fabulous Finance Planner began to evolve...
