Gain Control Over Your Money — Without Doing It Solo
Money Buddies is a 4-month financial coaching program for singles who want to finally get ahead with accountability, structure, and support.
Does this sound like you?
I avoid my finances because I’m afraid to look.
I’m never really sure where I stand financially so I metaphorically (or literally) cross my fingers when I swipe my card.
I know I need to do something about my finances but I have no idea where to start.
I wish I had someone to show me what to do and hold me accountable.
Friend!!!
I’m so glad you stumbled upon this page because I was you, and I can help.

Money Buddies: An Intentional Spending Program
These Folks Were Where You Are — Hear From Them Now
Charleigh in OR
Conquered their scarcity mindset & reduced yearly expenses by $2,650
Ali & Zach in OR
Got control over spending, automated savings, & started putting an extra $270/month at the mortgage (saving tens of thousands in interest).
This is for you if:
✅ you have a simpler financial situation
✅ you are not a business owner (or have a very simple business)
✅ you already have therapy in place if facing significant emotional obstacles
✅ you can follow a program fairly well if given structure and a step by step plan
This is not for you if:
❌ you have a very complex financial situation
❌ you need help with business finances (one-on-one coaching is more appropriate for the complexities of co-mingling, paying yourself, etc)
❌ you want/need live accountability in order to confront your finances (our check-ins are via Marco Polo, a video walkie-talkie app)
This program pays for itself in the habits you’ll build and the money you’ll stop leaking. What price are you paying now by delaying? Let’s do this!
Course FAQ
-
You do not have to be single to get the most out of Money Buddies. I work with couples extensively and you will benefit from this program as much as a single person would. I gear this program toward singles but this is also great for people with partners who are disinterested in finances who want support, or for couples looking to develop a common language around money to improve their financial teamwork.
-
Total per week: 35 minutes
30 mins per week on watching the program and working on action items
5 minutes per week checking in with coach on Marco Polo
On an ongoing basis, you’ll also want to keep your new plan updated. When done regularly, this takes seconds per day. The point is to stay intentional with your money all month long, and we do this by checking in with our plan and keeping it up to date.

Meet your Coach
Cortney Kaveh
(kah-VAY)
Long before becoming a financial coach in April 2020, I counseled friends and family with their finances as my husband and I were working to pay off $145,000 of debt (which we did in 4 years & 9 months). But make no mistake, I was a free spirited spender before getting serious about my financial future.
I can relate to those who have no idea where their money is going, mostly not worrying about it, then they have their "oh crapt" moment: something's got to change. I realized there is an opportunity cost to inaction, and I understand how intimidating it can feel to get started.
I believe in a holistic approach to money management. You may come to me to learn how to budget or pay off your credit cards faster, but I care about your ability to create and sustain change long term.
We look at not only your budget planning, but your habits and behaviors in many areas of your finances. If you are looking to become intentional, thoughtful, and proactive with your money, I'm your coach! I will help you to dream, and how to plan financially to make those dreams come to life.
I specialize in variable income planning, helping self-employed people take home more money from their businesses (which then accelerates their personal financial goals). The key is effectively managing irregular income, and creating consistency with something that can largely fluctuate.
I offer what other financial professionals can't: I walk with you side-by-side on implementing financial changes in your life. We meet one-on-one throughout the month to improve your financial literacy, apply knowledge to your unique situation, and to hold you accountable to your goals.
