Frequently asked questions
If you’re feeling nervous or unsure, you’re not alone. Here are answers to common questions.
Do I need to have all of my numbers ready before a Budget Clarity Session?
No. If you had perfectly organized numbers, you probably wouldn’t need this session. We’ll work with whatever you have—bank screenshots, notes, bills—and gently gather the rest together. You’re welcome to come as you are.
What if I’m embarrassed about my money situation?
Feeling shame around money is incredibly common, and it’s not required here. Our work together is judgment-free and future-focused. We’ll acknowledge what’s real, with compassion, and then decide what’s next—one small step at a time.
Are the printables beginner-friendly?
Yes. The printables are designed for people who don’t identify as “numbers people.” Each page includes clear prompts, plenty of white space, and simple language. You can move through them slowly, reprint pages, and come back to them as your situation changes.
Can I use the printables on a tablet instead of printing?
Absolutely. The PDFs are designed to work both as printed pages and on tablets with a note-taking app. You can choose whichever format feels more comfortable and sustainable for you.

No. “Budgeting is a Verb” offers educational support only. I can help you understand your numbers, explore options, and clarify your next steps, but I do not provide individualized financial, legal, investment, or tax advice. Please consult a licensed professional for those services.
