What to Expect
Our program is designed to pump up your understanding of your financial past, present and future. You’ve taken the first step by setting an appointment with one of Ascentra’s financial coaches.
As a warm up, we recommend the following:
- Be thinking about your relationship with money, what’s your earliest money memory and what does money mean to you?
- If available*, please bring the following with you:
- Bank and credit card statements from other financials
- A list of reoccurring expenses and income(s)
*If you don’t have these documents readily available, don’t sweat it. Although they are helpful, we can still work through the process without them.
The warm up is done, so now it is time to start Making Cents of your financial goals.
Discover your Habitudes!
Our financial coaches love using an engaging, card-based activity designed to help you uncover your attitudes, behaviors and emotional connections to money, what we call your "Habitudes". This game promotes self-awareness around financial habits in a nonjudgmental and interactive way. It’s commonly used in financial education, counseling and coaching to spark meaningful conversations about spending, saving and money-related decisions, making it a powerful tool to help you and your coach determine the next best steps in your financial journey.
