December 2025 Client Profile
The Rivera family — Maria, Carlos, and their two kids — faced a financial pinch after overspending during the holidays last year. To recover, they reviewed their finances and created a realistic budget. They listed their combined income from Maria's teaching job and Carlos's freelance work, then categorized their expenses: rent, groceries, debt payments, and discretionary spending, such as streaming services.
They identified cutbacks, reduced dining out, and canceled unused subscriptions. Maria set an initial goal to build a $2,000 emergency fund, while Carlos focused on paying off a $5,000 credit card balance. They automated $200 monthly savings transfers post-payday to stay disciplined.
Using a budgeting app, they tracked spending weekly, ensuring accountability. To curb impulse buys, they made grocery lists and stuck to them. Each month, they adjusted their budget for rising utility costs and new school expenses.
By following these budgeting tips, the Riveras regained financial control, reduced stress, and laid a foundation for a secure upcoming year.
73% of US adults believe they would be further ahead financially if they'd had early personal finance education.
