Hey there! 👋 We're Nick and Hanna True, and we're here to help you craft your money story. Since getting married in 2014, God’s been teaching us how to do more with the resources He entrusts to us. For us, that’s looked like: - giving to our church and other organizations close to our hearts - developing the skill of values-based budgeting to enable major career and life transitions - saving up to invest in our hobbies - like running, pottery, and buying every book that piques our interest - taking regular planning trips to pray about our vision for the future and how that fits with the budget The list goes on, but those are a few highlights. We pray the conversations on this channel help you craft your money story, so that you and your family can do more of what matters most to you. Thanks for listening!

How To Use The News To Improve Your Finances

Oct 30 2024 36 mins

#92: I have lots of clients forward me videos or articles about the latest world crisis and how it's going to affect interest rates, the stock market, inflation, etc. Whether it’s hurricanes, election news, federal interest rate cuts, or any other number of things - they’re stressed out and worried about how it’s going to impact their money.

Stressing Over Money Isn't Helping You (Do This Instead)

Oct 23 2024 26 mins

#91: The most common words we hear from new clients are "stress" and "overwhelm." There's just so much going on, money seems to be flying everywhere, and life feels out of control. Without a clear course of action, we tend to stick our heads in the sand and ignore our financial concerns... until something major happens and we're forced to deal with our situation head-on. If you'

Living "Within Your Means" Isn't Enough (You're Missing This)

Give up the good to get great

Aug 15 2023 25 mins

#85: A lot of our decisions make people raise their eyebrows. But since we regularly discuss, reassess, and adjust our life vision and budget, we're able to confidently leave behind a lot of "good" in order to work towards the things that are "great" to us. What in your life is good, but might be holding you back from achieving great? If you need some help defining your directio
