This is a program for folks who are earning a solid monthly income but can’t seem to make any savings happen at the end of the month.
You need a system for your money and that makes those big financial decisions easy and simple.
Financial Control Coaching Program
Financial Coaching is for you if:
You are earning over $75,000 a year.
There is spending habits that you personally think need to change.
You know “having more money” won’t solve every problem.
You don’t have anyone to talk about money with currently.
Have half an hour a week to work on your finances.
What we can accomplish together:
Prepared for all the unexpected bills.
Car break down? Your child visited doctor three times this month? Don’t stress about it. You’re covering those unexpected expenses that crop up, honestly, every month.
Watch your savings grow.
Know exactly how much you’re saving each month and when you’ll save for each goal. Yes, real goals!
Know you have the big and small covered.
You can travel to Japan and know that you also have a rainy day fund. Feel great about the financial decisions because you you know what they can and cannot afford.
Cut that impulsive shopping
We can shop every day at all most anytime and that makes spending too easy. Let’s remove the impulse stress shopping.
Buy the stuff you love
This isn’t about eating beans and rice or peanut butter sandwiches every night. (Unless you’re my three-year-old.) No, instead it’s about putting money towards your love. “I want to go to Santa Fe” or “I love nice shoes”. And we make that happen.
Total control of your money
You’re no longer ignoring financial decisions, you have a system that can manage your daily spending as well as those unexpected bills.
Signs you may need to work on your finances.
Money isn’t going as far as it should. You are earning a solid paycheck but you don’t have much savings to show for it.
You could tell me how much you’re going earn this year but you don’t know how much you’re spending each month.
You pay your credit card bills on time but the total amounts often feels stressful.
When you sit down to work on your finances it’s exhausting and you don’t know where to begin the journey.
You’re stopped from moving forward because you’re ashamed that “you should have figured out your finances by now.”
The Long Term Financial Control Program
Get a handle of on your spending
We often shop anywhere we want, any time we want. We live in a consumerist culture that is unlike any in history. So let’s make sure you are spending your hard earned money on things that you value and love. We’re going to look at your spending history and build a budget that speaks to you.
A money partner
Taking on money alone can be so frustrating. Once you make a mistake, you can just stop paying attention and continue to ignore your spending. Working together and keeping you accountable will make you continue forward. So you realize, “Oh wow, I actually can do this.”
Finance 101 (Also known as “Adulting”)
Working on money can mean reading a lot of blogs, listening to podcast and reading all those books. Who has the time for that? Well, I do. Let me do the heavy lifting and research and give you the resources and advice that works for your specific needs and lifestyle.
Rewire your money habits
How did you learn about money? That’s a complicated question. The answer I hear the most often: I taught myself. That’s means that for likely decades you’re making decisions about money that may not be in your best interest. Let’s work to build you new habits that stick with you for the long term, well after you’re done working with me.
How does it work?
Join my Financial Control Coaching program and I’ll be with you as you create and achieve real financial goals.
What’s included:
2 x 1hr video calls for the first three months: We sit down and work on your finances together, defining what you want to accomplish and how to get tasks done. In the third month we meet once a month.
“Money Thursday” Email Coaching: Each week (you guessed it, Thursday) we email each other to make sure your spending speaks to your values. You finally understand your daily spending. #accountability
Unlimited Finance Check-ins: Changing jobs? Need to know if you can budget for a new apartment? We can talk between meetings on any urgent money issue. I never want you to stress about a major problem.
Access to all templates that I’ve created for clients and worksheets. This is a personal approach to your finances that gives you control of your money, not just when we’re working together, but for the long term. These are systems that you can use for years to come.
The investment
Clients save on average $400-$2,500 a month. Start making smarter choices about your spending and saving immediately.
We’re not fixing just this day or year but we are going to give you control of your finances for the long term. You’ve accomplished so much in your life already, you deserve to have your money under control as well.
The investment:
$850/month for the first three months.
$425/month starting in the fourth month.
This work is about rewriting your habits around money, patterns you’ve had for decades. On average I work with clients for 12 months so that the change we make sticks for the long term. There is a four month minimum.
Let’s remove your money stress together.
Here’s what my clients are saying:
Dylan meets people where they're at, without judgement, and with endless kindness and grace.
When it came to money I felt scared and under-informed, like there were few options for facing a mountain of debt and budget uncertainty without taking out another loan or credit card.
After working with Dylan, I now feel much more empowered and articulate. I am able to speak more clearly (to myself and others) about my financial goals and needs, and to use the tools that I have been given to create longstanding pathways to financial success.
Everyone could benefit from the kind of thoughtful discussions about money (and our relationship to it) that Dylan brings to the table.

He's like an old-fashioned private eye but for your money - he'll follow it around, tell you what it's up.
I'd been working and saving for years, but the anxiety of not knowing if I was saving enough and saving effectively had started to overwhelm me. Dylan helped me understand where my money was going and what it was doing.
We worked together to create a specific and personalized overview of my situation and that gave me confidence in my own ability to make good, informed decisions about both my savings and my spending habits.

Dylan gained my trust right away and was the answer I was looking for to transform my finances.
I thought it was crazy that I reached out to Dylan after hearing about Dylan Teaches Finance on a podcast. I hesitated about sharing my finances and story with a stranger.
I didn't think I had any room to save, but if you trust my review as a stranger, I promise Dylan will address your individual needs, and you'll have fun along the way.

With Dylan's help, I set up a sustainable system that allows my husband and me to make smart financial decisions without it overwhelming our lives. Since working with Dylan, we purchased a house with a full 20% down payment, paid off one of our cars, and accumulated a large amount of liquid savings.
I paid off over $70,000 (including interest) in just under 10 years, we’re investing in our retirement accounts and both have life insurance policies. I would have never predicted we could be in this place and actually feel like we're on top of things. Working with Dylan helped me tackle some immediate issues, but also set up a system that has lasted far beyond our active working relationship.

Hi there! I’m Dylan and I’m a financial coach.
I’m a firm believer that our financial past should not dictate how we live our lives. Our money shouldn’t be stressing us out but rather should be aligned with our values and allow us to go to Hawaii or Maine but also protect us into retirement.
As a coach my work is about delving into your unique circumstances and developing a personalized plan that works for you and make the process actually enjoyable.
If you want to learn to take control of your financial future, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
