Karen has taught me a set of simple strategies to help manage my money.

I am now in control of my financial situation instead of it controlling me.

My life now looks totally different. I don’t constantly worry about paying the next bill. Even though there have been some unexpected hiccups along the way, in twelve months I have paid down the majority of my debt and started saving whilst still having a life.
