Julio's Story

Why did you come to the Financial Empowerment Center?

I was struggling to understand how to save money and take control of my own financial transactions.

What financial achievements have you made since coming to the FEC?

My coach has been amazing at helping me build a budget and become more empowered to take control of my savings. I have also learned from her strategies to reduce debt and have different bank accounts, which includes two savings accounts. She is very patient and knowledgeable.

Why and how has the FEC made a difference in your financial future and overall life? What has working with a Financial Coach done to help you, your family, etc.? What would you say to a friend or family member who was curious about how the FEC could help them?

My coach has helped me create different strategies when making a purchase. For example, she shared with me that by creating a grocery list, taking an inventory of the items that I have at home, and other strategies, I can help focus on only the items that I need to purchase. I always look forward to my meetings with my coach because of her positive and professional attitude and willingness to help me become more financially grounded and empowered.

Do you plan to continue working with your Financial Coach to achieve specific goals? What goals? How can the FEC help you achieve these goals?

 Yes, I plan to continue to work with my coach in order to continue to create a financial budget and more strategies to reduce debt and plan for a savings account.
