"I signed up with Ericka for financial coaching because I had come off a bankruptcy and I started repeating old money habits. I had to change my ways and knew I needed help. Ericka turned me around! During the time I worked with her, I got on a budget and started planning. I used to live paycheck to paycheck, biting my nails the day before payday, waiting for my next check. Now, I have saved an emergency fund, can buy a car in cash, and have a new perspective on living within my means. I used to feel like I would never get out of the black hole of my finances; but Ericka made my budget so easy, it was hard not to follow it!

Now I look forward to all the things I can do with my life. Yay!"

"In November 2010 I took the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University course through my church. I understood the concept of the course and so desperately desired to be debt free, however I was overwhelmed by the budgeting portion of the course. I looked on the Dave Ramsey website and found Tailor-Made Budgets and Ericka Young. After viewing Ericka's video on her website I instantly knew she had the positive energy I needed to tackle the budgeting task. After meeting with Ericka for three months, she made budgeting a simple and easy task for me. Additionally, after applying Ericka's budgeting tips I was able to pay off approximately $6,500 in debt and increase my savings to $1,500!! All in just three months!! I am no longer overwhelmed by budgeting and actually look forward to planning out my expenditures each paycheck! Thank you Ericka, I couldn't have done it without you and thanks to your expertise I am on the road to being debt-free by the end of the year!"

“My wife and I have worked with Ericka for budget consulting for about 2 years. In that time, she has helped us and other friends and family members to reduce debt and change the way we manage our finances. She has a passion for what she does, and the clients that she works with. She has a unique skill of being very easy to work with, but can also be assertive in her coaching style. I will continue to refer friends and family to Ericka, and highly recommend her to others.”

“My Fiancé and I hired Ericka not only to help with our wedding budget but to help plan our financial life ahead as husband and wife. Ericka helped us set financial goals, track them and even held me responsible for my spending! :) She was amazing at making everything so specific to our goals and lifestyle. She is a wonderful financial expert and even makes saving and budgeting fun. We have benefited tremendously by following her guidelines. We look forward to working with her again in the future as life's financial demands change.”

“If anyone needs financial advice or peace in their life, then they need look no further than Ericka Young. This outstanding woman has literally changed lives, including my own. My husband and I were in debt straight out of college and, since taking a course facilitated by Ericka, we were inspired to make life changes that drastically improved our financial status. Ericka's passion about educating and helping her community to be better stewards over their finances, is awesome. I've now worked with Ericka in many different capacities and she has always proved to be very reliable and professional with a zest for promoting financial peace . I have absolutely NO hesitation to recommend her services if you are looking to get out and STAY OUT of debt! I assure you, your life will never be the same! Mine sure isn't!”
