Discover the Hidden Money Patterns Keeping You Stuck Living Paycheck to Paycheck
Your income changed. Your Money Story may not have.
My hope is that this assessment gives you a quiet place to do that—with greater understanding, biblical truth and practical next steps.
Hi, I'm Rochelle Thomas, author, financial literacy educator, and Christian money coach.
I created the Money Story Checklist because I believe that the numbers alone don't tell the whole story.
We can know how to budget. We can increase our income. We can understand the impact of having expensive credit card debt. And still find ourselves repeating financial patterns we thought we would have outgrown by now. Sometimes we need an opportunity to look beneath the numbers.
You don't have to figure out everything today. Start by discovering your Money Story.
Maybe you've spent years trying to solve money problems by working harder, earning more, budgeting again or promising yourself that next month will be different. Today, you can begin somewhere else. Notice the pattern.
Your Next Step Doesn't Have to Be a Big One.
Your Money Story is the collection of beliefs, experiences and patterns that help shape the way you think about and handle money.
The Survival Story
The Silence Story
“I need to be prepared for whatever happens next.”
“I should be able to figure this out myself.”
The Rescue Story
The Fear Story
“If someone I love needs help, I need to find a way to help them.”
“What if I make the wrong financial decision and disappoint my family?”
The Hustle Story
“If I just work harder, eventually I'll get ahead.”
