Please read the below information before you schedule:

 1:1 Coaching Session

My coaching sessions vary based on individual needs, but generally you can expect that we will do any combination of the following:

  • Establish short-term and long-term financial goals.

  • Expense-tracking tutorial and accountability using Monarch Money

  • Building a budget totally personalized to you.

  • Develop a savings strategy for the life you want to live.

  • Create debt payoff strategies that work for your specific financial situation.

  • Learn about what investing is and how to do it.

  • Accountability from me in between sessions!

Payment via Venmo to @moneybymel or payment via Stripe must be made no later than 24-hours before each scheduled money coaching session. You will receive an invoice for your records.

The first two sessions are 1.5 hours each. Every session after that is 1 hour each unless agreed upon otherwise.

If you need to reschedule, please do so at least 24-hours before your session for fee-free rescheduling. Sessions rescheduled less than 24-hours in advance will require a $10 rescheduling fee.

If you need to cancel, please do so at least 24-hours before your session. Cancellations made less than 24-hours in advance of the session will receive a 50% refund.

FREE 30-minute Consultation

I'm happy to have a 30-minute, totally free consultation with you so we can get to know each other, discuss what sort of help you would like from me as your coach, and brainstorm a plan of action for future sessions.

I recommend that clients prepare to commit to a minimum of one session a month for six months.

Couples will be billed at a rate of $125 per hour — an over 20% discount per person!
