First of all, thanks for stopping by and checking us out! Second, let me tell you a bit about who we are and why I’m starting this blog. My name is Becky and my husband is Stephen. We are originally from Texas, and when Stephen retired in 2018 we moved to the mountains of Colorado. We moved from sea level with heat, humidity and mosquitos to 8500 feet. It’s cold, dry and beautiful!

Believe me, it was baby steps at first, but we gradually made progress. Then at about 50 years old, we started making better choices with our money. It was at that point that God really blessed our family. Not only financially, but in other areas, too. It was like He was waiting for us to grow up and be ready for His blessings.
We are not trained or skilled at financial matters other than our own experiences and being students of “The School of Hard Knocks.” LOL. What we do have is a passion for helping others who are struggling because of a lack of knowledge (You don’t know what you don’t know!), or those who, like us, didn’t start as early as they should have and now feel lost and/or hopeless. Our hope with this blog is to share the basics of good, sound financial information in the framework of our faith and dependence on our Heavenly Father. We are by no means the only place to find financial info, but we hope to create a place of peace and hope in a culture bent on keeping up with the Joneses and instant gratification. We want to offer hope to young adults that don’t know how to start with their finances and to a more mature generation that is afraid “It’s too late!”
As a little dash of spice, we will throw in some of our experiences in learning how to be retired and learning how to live in the mountains. It’s beautiful, but does anyone have any oxygen?!
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
