Plan Your Finance. Plan Your Future.
About the Owner
Hello all! My name is Brittney, and I’m the creator of My Financial Equity. I started this business and its blog to empower people like you to take control of your finances and build a future that aligns with your goals. Through personal finance education and practical advice, I’m here to guide you as you navigate the challenges of managing your money.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with minors in Financial Counseling and Planning, and English, from Iowa State University. I’m currently working toward my Master of Family and Consumer Sciences (MFCS) with a specialization in Family Financial Planning. In August 2024, I proudly became an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®), and I’m now offering professional financial counseling to help clients like you reach their financial goals.
Why I Started My Financial Equity
My passion for financial education began in my teenage years. I craved financial independence and wanted to start working at 14, but I wasn’t allowed to get a job until I moved out at 18. By then, I had developed some budgeting skills and even found managing money to be fun. But I recognized that most people never get the chance to learn about money early in life when it would be most helpful.
I took the one optional personal finance class available in high school and loved it, but it was clear that this kind of education was rare and not prioritized. Much of what I learned about money came from my grandparents, who provided a solid foundation. However, I lacked structured education beyond that, and had to piece together more knowledge through research and experience.
It wasn’t until I went to college and added Financial Counseling and Planning as a minor that everything started to click for me. I realized that my interest in money management wasn’t just personal—it was something I could use to help others. Initially, I thought I wanted to become a therapist or social worker, but as I explored financial counseling, I discovered how powerful it could be to guide people toward achieving their goals. Financial counseling became my true calling, where I could help people not only gain control of their finances but also reach the goals and dreams they’ve always had. Empowering others to achieve financial independence and peace has become my way of making a lasting, positive impact on their lives.

Financial goals cannot be fully achieved and financial well-being cannot be attained without considering the whole person and their relationships with others around them.
