Samantha’s Story

Samantha has shown remarkable growth in managing her finances and building confidence. Starting her journey in August 2023, Samantha faced the challenge of handling finances after her husband, who previously managed them, passed away. Through four months of dedicated effort, she improved her budgeting, spending habits, and credit, leading to a 16-point increase in her CFPB Financial Well-Being score. Samantha’s involvement extends beyond personal progress—she served as a Client Ambassador at the Donor and Volunteer luncheon and now advocates for seniors and community members through SELF’s Client Advisory Council.
