We start by understanding your emotions about money—we call it your money mood—and then work with you to make managing your financial life more enjoyable and rewarding—one step at a time. We help you take actions that are tailored to you and keep the momentum going, so you feel more confident and get the most out of your money.
Research shows that several factors are involved in helping you form new habits, such as repeating the desired behavior over time and associating that behavior with positive feelings and rewards. We designed our challenges with this psychology in mind to help you develop healthy behaviors that turn into habits that feel good.

Challenges are broken down into simple and achievable steps that can fit into your day-to-day life without feeling overwhelming
