Hi there! I’m Janice.

As a wife and mom of two, I’m all about budgeting. But here’s the thing – I didn’t always have a clue about handling money.

Growing up, I witnessed my parents constantly arguing about it and struggling with finances. That’s why I took a leap of faith and left my small town to study in Manila.

With a mix of scholarships, part-time gigs, and some support from my parents, I learned the art of budgeting to make ends meet and survive until graduation.

I started as a technical support representative in a call center as my first job. Although it was not my dream job, I took it along with part-time teaching to help support my 3 siblings who were in college. During this time, I picked up skills on how to manage my finances and made sure to provide for them until they finished college.

Getting married brought on a whole new challenge for me – budgeting with my husband. We had different views on how to handle money, leading to arguments and misunderstandings.

But we didn’t give up. We tried various budgeting methods, compromised, and truly understood each other. Now, I’m proud to say that my husband trusts me completely with our household budgets.

How did I do it? Well, I couldn’t have done it without my budgeting templates and system. These babies have been a game changer for us! They’ve given us control over our finances, kept us on track with our goals, and made it super easy for us to stay organized.

Currently, I am sharing my knowledge on budgeting and financial management to help others. I incorporate biblical principles in my teachings, as I strongly believe that our money does not truly belong to us. Instead, we are mere stewards of God’s possessions.

If you need help with budgeting or managing your money, feel free to explore my blog and YouTube channel, where you can find valuable free content.

To take your budgeting to the next level, consider trying out my budgeting templates and additional resources on my TPI Shop.

And if you’re interested in receiving tips on budgeting, money management, and occasional life updates, be sure to sign up for my newsletter.

Feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions. I’m always happy to meet you halfway and make sure your money is heading in the right direction. Thanks for visiting The Pinay Investor!
