Hi new friend!

As my identity is private, you can call me Creative! I am known as @creativewithmoney on Instagram. I am a DINK (Dual Income, No Kids), 29 year old non-binary femme living in Ohio, USA.

I am a Professional Singer, Actor, and Creative, with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s performance degree! I’m also married with two rescue cats and one of our kitties has three legs! I love beluga whales, karaoke, real estate (I’ve bought three houses and sold one!) and am obsessed with self improvement and bettering myself in every way I can.

When Lil Miss Rona showed up, Theatre and live performances shut down, leaving me jobless. After being on unemployment and taking part time gigs for two years, I chose to focus on finding creative ways to make money, pay off my debt, and build wealth.

My intentional personal finance journey started in November 2021, and my @creativewithmoney Instagram journey began on October 20th, 2022. In this span of a year, I paid off $15K in debt and had raised my income 3x. When December of 2022 hit, I was consumer debt free paying off a total of $37K and raised my income 4x! I share this to say, even though I have only been on my finance journey for less than two years (and I do consider myself very new to finances), anything is possible if you organize your thoughts and create a plan to reach your goals!

As I continue to find creative ways to build wealth, here are more occupations / job titles I’ve settled into during this time: Self Care Coach, Website Designer, Theatre Teacher and Dramaturg, Creative Virtual Assistant / Social Media Manager, and Virtual Assistant Agency owner!

I started Creative With Money to share that Creatives don’t always have to be struggling in order to do their art, and be an example of that. I also wanted to share my success with reaching my goals and show how I did it. I’ve now created Monthly Goal Setting Planners to share my method that helped me pay off debt and quickly grow my income, which is breaking down my yearly goals into quarters of the year, and then a month at time. I hope these help you as you work to reach your goals!

With Joy & Gratitude,

Creative With Money
