Budgeting Like a Boss

Join Inforum's YPN group and Budget Coach Kimberely Demarest on November 16th at 9 a.m. where she will cover basic budgeting strategies that can help young women reach their goals.

Kimberely Demarest is the owner of Be Knot Afraid Financial Coaching. In March 2010 she was finally back to work after the great recession but nearly $50,000 in debt! That didn’t include her mortgage. Realizing that 75% of her take home pay went to debt payments fired her up to create a budget to get out of debt. Budgeting then helped her and her husband become debt free, including their house, in September 2015. Whether her goal was debt reduction or saving for a large purchase like a kitchen remodel or vehicle, the budget made reaching her money-related goals possible. She has been helping individuals and families budget since 2011 when she coordinated her first Dave Ramsey Financial Peace Class. In 2018 she became Dave Ramsey Master Financial Coach Trained and has helped 100’s of individuals and families create a money plan that works for their lives.
