How I Stopped Living Paycheck to Paycheck and Started Living on Purpose

💥 How I Stopped Living Paycheck to Paycheck and Started Living on Purpose

For years, I lived like so many others—on autopilot. Wake up. Go to work. Get paid. Repeat. I was surviving, not thriving. And I was doing it while raising five kids as a single dad, buried in stress and financial uncertainty.

But everything changed when I made one decision: I chose to stop living by accident and start living on purpose.

💡 My Turning Point

In 2002, after years of burnout in the IT world and a health scare that forced me to reevaluate everything, I was introduced to the financial industry. Not to sell products, but to learn how money really works and how I could use that knowledge to help others.

I was treading water—not drowning, but not moving forward either. I wanted more than just staying afloat. I wanted momentum.

And I knew I wasn’t the only one.

🔍 What I Do Today

Through my company, Give A Heck Financial, I now help individuals and families:

  1. Break free from the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle
  2. Understand their money story and rewrite it with purpose
  3. Build financial strategies aligned with their values
  4. Eliminate “head trash” and limiting beliefs around money
  5. Create a life of clarity, confidence, and legacy

This isn’t just about budgeting or insurance. It’s about mindset, mission, and momentum.

🎙️ How I Share the Message

I host the Give A Heck Podcast, where I interview thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who’ve chosen to live intentionally. I also speak on stages and coach clients one-on-one, always with the same goal:

To help people stop living in quiet desperation and start living with intention.
