@cnn: In their first Savings Challenge consultation, Mariza and Geffrey Gordon met with budgeting expert and financial educator Tiffany Aliche – best known as The Budgetnista and author of "Get Good with Money." "They were so supportive of each other," Tiffany said. And the best thing they're doing, she added, is "seeking help. A lot of people just stay stuck." Having reviewed a summary of their financial situation, she realized she wouldn't be able to address all their money issues given the limited timeframe for the challenge. So she decided to focus on what she called "the pin sticking them the most." She found that the biggest thing weighing them down was their credit card debt. Adding to their financial concerns was the fact that soon after signing up for the Savings Challenge, Mariza learned she was getting laid off and would only get two months' severance. Tiffany had the couple try "dreamscaping," an exercise where they forget about their money stresses for a moment and think seriously about what they want their lives to look like in the next decade. "Let's get to a point where you don't feel like your debt is drowning you. But the true goal is to grow wealth," Tiffany said.

Behind this comment is a family trying to survive without a mother and father. We lost both our parents during COVID-19, and life has never been the same. 😢

I put in $2400 and began to notice significant gains with @Steve Jay ✨ skills, which led to substantial profits of $33,650. His performance has been outstanding, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed but his work
