&lt;p&gt;Hey, I’m Ashley Patrick, a personal finance expert and founder of Budgets Made Easy. I help busy moms create systems to save money and pay off debt so they can reach their big dreams faster and easier. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months including $25,000 in student loans in just 10 months. I’m a Master Financial Coach and have a bachelor's degree in psychology and will help you get to the root of your money problems. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“You gotta be a little flexible and let go of the perfectionism a little bit because it's not gonna be perfect. And so you've gotta have some realistic expectations for your budget, your plan, yourself, and just know stuff's gonna come up. You know, you can't control everything. And a lot of the perfectionism comes from trying to control everything.”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br&gt;
