Hey I’m Linda
I’m a finance coach and all around number nerd with an unshakable belief that we all deserve to be financially secure. I want to inspire you to be stronger, more confident, and at peace with your money.
I’m really proud of what you are going to find here at Real Family Finance. Everything I’m creating is about teaching you what you need to know about money.
Don’t know where to start? I got you.
Been trying all kinds of things that aren’t working? I’ll show you how to get on track.
Been working on your finances awhile but would like some affirmation you are on track? I’ll shout your success from the roof tops (only if you want me to).
I’ve pulled it all together in my FAST Money Management Program. It will help you not only understand your money, but also show you how to dream big and put together an action plan that’s realistic and achievable.
I want you to imagine what your life would be like if you had your personal finances under control.
- Know you will never run out of money
- Know what to do when the inevitable crisis occurs and being able to not blow up your long-term plans to get the situation under control
- Live a lifestyle that makes you comfortable and happy, confident that you can afford your home, your car, and the things you make your life complete
- Know what your life will look like in retirement

There are challenges to learning to manage your money
- A recent survey by Prudential showed that only 20% of women felt they could manage money and only 14% thought they were on track to have enough for retirement.
- Personal finance has a lot of moving parts. There is budgeting, debt management, investing, saving, insurance and many more. Most are multi billion dollar industries that have products and services they want you to buy. Yet we are never taught how they work or how they all fit together.
- There are real challenges to getting started
- Where do you start?
- Who do you go to?
- Who do you trust?
- Where do you find the time?
- How do you overcome the fear?
- It’s incredibly stressful
- I’m embarrassed and don’t want to sit in a room full of other people to figure this out.
The fastest, easiest way to overcome these challenges is to make the leap into my FAST Money Management Program.
The leap can work for you if you feel:
Worried or Scared
Do you worry about how much money you owe?
Are you scared you won’t have enough money to retire when you want to?
Do you know people in retirement that are in dire financial situations and you worry that will be you one day?
Stressed
When you get an unexpected bill does your stomach knot?
Do you dread looking at your bank or credit card statements because you are afraid of what you will see?
Are you buying things you are afraid you can’t really afford?
Ready
Are you ready to let go of the worry, fear and stress?
Are you ready to find out how this all works and put a plan in place to make sure you are financially secure for the rest of your life?
Are you ready to take control and find peace with the money in your life?

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I want to Cancel?
If for ANY reason you want to cancel in the first 30 days, send us an email and we will refund you, no questions asked.
What if I fall behind?
This course can be completed at your own pace. I’ve built in plenty of time to get the work done, but if you need to catch up, you can do it at your own pace.
What if I miss a Q&A call
Each call is recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you can go back and hear it later.
I’m a private person. How can I participate in the Q&A calls without people knowing my business?
You can send your questions in advance and I will answer without revealing your name.
I’m not good with math. Will that prevent me from understanding the material?
Absolutely not. A lot of what we are teaching is concepts, not math. In fact, there are places in the course I will encourage you to listen along to get the concepts and go back to tackle the math later if you want. The places there are math, it won’t be more than adding, subtracting, multiplying a couple of times and dividing once.
What software/equipment will I need?
You can watch the videos on a smartphone, tablet or computer. There are only two documents you will work in. One is a pdf that you can print out. The second is a worksheet that you can do either in Excel or Google Docs. You will need access to a computer to do the worksheet.
