Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does MoneyByLisa LLC cost?
I charge $650 for an initial set of 3 hour-long sessions, payable in advance. The cadence of meetings is entirely at your discretion; I have found that 4 to 6 weeks between meetings works well for most people. (All 3 meetings must be concluded within 180 days.) If you decide at any point not to proceed, the remaining payment balance will be refunded to you. Follow-on meetings are $225 per meeting. Please see FAQ “Are you available to give presentations to groups?” for group pricing.

What is “financial wellness?”
To me, being “financially well” simply means that money and money decisions are not a source of stress in your daily life. Each of your financial decisions is supportive of your life ambitions. While you may not have yet reached your ultimate financial goals, you see yourself making progress each day.

What do your AFC® and CRPC® credentials mean?
Being an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) means that I have completed the education and examination requirements that demonstrate my ability to educate clients in sound financial principles. As an AFC®, I am held to a professional Code of Ethics that commits me to a high standard of integrity, honesty and excellence in my work. I invite you to learn more from AFCPE, the professional organization for AFCs®.
In addition, I have completed the education and examination requirements that permit me to carry the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designation.
