Are you struggling to make your budget work but keep coming up short?
If your budget isn’t working, you might think that you’re just not trying hard enough to stick to it. But I don’t think that’s always the case.
From Credit Card Debt to Loving Her Money with Sarah Li Cain
A few years ago, Sarah Li Cain found herself jobless, broke, and in $9,000 credit card debt after a breakup with her boyfriend.
Today, Sarah is debt-free, married, and living a happy life with her husband and spirited toddler.
Sarah is a freelance writer and illustrator. She believes in the power of storytelling and wants people to share their money stories to remove the stigma around money. An avid traveler, she believes that the way to a happy and productive life is to love your money and be compassionate when it comes to your finances.
I am so excited to share Sarah’s story and introduce her brand new book, Cha Ching! A Money Coloring Book.
In the interview, Sarah shares:
- The lessons she learned from racking up more than $9,000 in credit card debt from an unhealthy relationship
- How she paid off the credit card in less than a year
- Her advice to anyone currently in a similar situation
- How she’s using her experience to teach others to love their money
- And the message behind her brand new coloring book
Thanks again to Sarah for sharing her debt-free journey and her new coloring book with us! [bctt tweet=”How @sarahlicain went from credit card debt to loving her money.” username=”MonicaRLouie”]

How to Win Scholarships with Nicole Crosby, The Scholarship Tutor
Nicole Crosby, The Scholarship Tutor, is here to share her best tips for applying and most importantly, WINNING, scholarships! In this interview, Nicole shares:
- How her own experience winning scholarships led to her career as The Scholarship Tutor
- What makes a great candidate to win scholarships (It’s not just the straight-A students!)
- Where to look for scholarships online and when the best time is to apply for them
- And her tips for getting our students noticed in the sea of applicants
There are so many great nuggets that Nicole shares in this interview, and of course, we talk about applying for scholarships for high school students. But as you’ll find out, there are lots of scholarships available for adults who are going back to school because they’re switching careers or seeking advanced degrees.
So if you have a child who will be attending college someday or you think you might go back to school yourself, this is a must watch interview.
If you’re looking for an online resource for finding scholarships, check out GoodCall. I met the founder recently, and the website makes it easy to filter through scholarships.
[bctt tweet=”How to Win Scholarships with Nicole Crosby @ScholarshipTutr” username=”MonicaRLouie”] As Nicole mentioned at the end, we’ve partnered together, and I’m putting together a course for the students she works with. I’ll also be doing one-on-one financial coaching with them to teach them what they need to know about how to manage their money wisely. I’m super excited about that!
Nicole’s website once again is TheScholarshipTutor.com, and you can reach out to her about working with her by email at [email protected].
Now I’d love to hear about you!
Will you or your child be applying for scholarships either now or in the future? Were you surprised about anything Nicole shared? Please share in the comments below.
