“Hearthwise helped us build a monthly plan that finally stuck. Within six months, we paid off $4,800 in credit card debt and started a real emergency fund for the first time.”

“We used to argue about money every week. With Hearthwise's shared goal tracker, my wife and I now review our budget together calmly—and we saved $6,000 toward a family vacation in one year.”

“Unexpected car repairs used to derail our entire month. Their sinking fund strategy means surprise expenses no longer scare us. Our savings grew by 30% last year.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to share my bank account information?

No. We never need access to your accounts. You simply provide your income, bills, and spending estimates, and we build your plan around them.

How much does budgeting help cost?

Our one-time budget setup starts at $149, and ongoing monthly coaching is $49/month. We also offer a free 20-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Can you help if we have irregular or seasonal income?

Absolutely. We specialize in creating flexible budgets for freelancers, seasonal workers, and commission-based earners using baseline income planning.

What happens when an unexpected expense comes up?

We build sinking funds into every plan for common surprises like car repairs and medical bills. If something bigger happens, your coach helps you rebalance without derailing your goals.

My partner and I disagree about money. Can you help?

Yes—couples coaching is one of our most popular services. We facilitate neutral conversations and help you set shared goals so budgeting becomes a team effort, not a fight.

Is this financial advice or just budgeting help?

We focus on budgeting, savings strategy, and debt payoff planning. For investments, taxes, or retirement products, we're happy to refer you to a licensed financial advisor.
