Tax time is one of the more stressful times of the year. You are in search mode, looking for all your documents. In addition, you are possibly more stressed about having to pay taxes. Being savvy with money shouldn’t be this difficult!

I was speaking with a business colleague, Nancy Zimmerman, one day. She confirms that her clients are nearly at their breaking points when it comes to being on top of their money issues. Her company, Your Money By Design, was created to help people become savvy with money. She offers an online course to help people shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. Participants also learn steps to make plans to reach financial goals, whether those goals are to pay down debt or save for a vacation, a new car, or a downpayment for a home.

You may be able to pick up a few money-saving tips and learn how to avoid “retail therapy.” And the organizer in me cautions you about not buying more ‘stuff’ with your newfound savings.
