Craft Your Money Story
Nick & Hanna True
Hey there! 👋 We're Nick and Hanna True, and we're here to help you craft your money story.
Since getting married in 2014, God’s been teaching us how to do more with the resources He entrusts to us.
For us, that’s looked like:
- giving to our church and other organizations close to our hearts
- developing the skill of values-based budgeting to enable major career and life transitions
- saving up to invest in our hobbies - like running, pottery, and buying every book that piques our interest
- taking regular planning trips to pray about our vision for the future and how that fits with the budget
The list goes on, but those are a few highlights.
We pray the conversations on this channel help you craft your money story, so that you and your family can do more of what matters most to you.
Thanks for listening!
