“Saving was one of the things that I struggled with. I saved $2,000 after my class. I didn’t think that I could do that. Being homeless was really hard. Now I’m in a studio on the 21st floor and I can see the lake from my apartment. I have been here for 3 years and I’m just happy to be in the position that I am in.” W. BARNES, Training Client
“Every so often I pull out my notes from class and look them over to make sure that I stay on track. I have saved so much that my banker has been advising me to start investing. I can’t believe how much my life has changed.”
Every time I stick my key in the door, every time that I pay my rent, I think about you. You changed my life. I will never forget you.

I bought the house and had $2,000 for repairs because I started with $50 and did what you said.

Ms. Simmons taught me about budgeting when I knew nothing about budgeting. Now I have enough to pay my rent for a year
