Michelle adapted everything to our Brownie troop and brought budgeting to life with a hands-on grocery store visit. Perfectly age-appropriate and interactive. I highly recommend working with Michelle and Smarter Savings Association!

“The severance blog post and quick guide were invaluable during a stressful transition. They broke down the key details in a clear, compassionate way and reminded me that others have been through this too. Thank you!”

I highly recommend working with Michelle and Smarter Savings Association on any kind of kid-friendly budgeting workshop! She organized a session for my middle school girl scout troop, which focused on real life money skills they could actually use. She created a fun game that kept things simple, relatable, and engaging. Working with Michelle and planning the event was super easy!
