Kristin Wade

My first career was in healthcare, I worked as a nurse in the Newborn ICU for 8 years! I started diligently budgeting when I got my first job because I was worried about lifestyle creep. Since that fateful day, I was able to accomplish many huge goals that money issues would have blocked me from. These include paying for trips in cash, taking 6 months unpaid maternity leave, and having a healthy retirement plan. I am the proudest of two big milestones: being able to leave a marriage and career that no longer served me.

I became a certified budget coach in March 2023. I am also in the process of earning my Accredited Financial Counselor designation so that I can better serve my clients. If you're looking for trusted advice from a decade-long user, look no further. I will work with you so that you can use YNAB in your busy life to achieve your goals.

In my time as a nurse, I witnessed money hold back too many people from their full potential. It was well known that personal finance was my hobby, and my peers would often come to me for advice. As busy healthcare workers, we provide excellent care to our patients but ignore our own wellness. Financial wellness is no exception. I own Fiscal Bliss Financial Coaching (www.fiscal-bliss.com) and have been privileged to serve many professionals of all backgrounds.
