A Focus on Education

There is an old saying “give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will have food for a lifetime”

At Grandma’s Jars, teaching you how to budget is just the start. Once you have mastered budgeting, we show you how to use it to build a strong cash reserve, pay off debt, and set and achieve financial goals that are important to you.

 

A Focus on Commitment

We are passionate about our budgeting system and coaching program because 15 years of experience has taught us that it really works. However, we also understand that it’s not for everyone. While we will lead you through the process step by step it will require your time and effort.

One of our key requirements when taking on a new coaching client is that you are as committed to the program as we are to helping you succeed.
