Along with a full-time job helping families impacted by community violence find housing and services, Hannah works part-time on evenings and weekends and is raising her four godchildren, ages 5-16. She hopes Project Money gives her knowledge to take a proactive approach to money vs. learning through difficult experiences.
Let’s hear it for Hannah, who’s taking home the title of Project Money Season 15 Winner – and a $10,000 grand prize. Raising her four godchildren plus working extra hours, Hannah lives an extremely busy life, and applied for the program hoping to be able to take a more proactive approach to money. By cutting back on impulse buys and limiting her credit card usage, Hannah was able to boost her savings and her credit score. We’re celebrating right along with you, Hannah!Her top insights:
  1. Create a separate savings account and routinely put a certain amount of money into it, even if it’s a small amount, to reach a set goal.
  2. Take advantage of interest rates, whether it’s low loan rates to help out your budget or higher savings rates to make the most of your money.
  3. Invest in yourself.
Her “aha” moment:“I started seeing how much money I had left between pay periods instead of scraping by because I was carelessly spending. I also started a new account with $0 in it, and I have been able to watch that grow.”
