Nancy Abramowitz

She/Her

Hello! I firmly believe that YNAB can help you love the way you use your money, and I’d be thrilled to help you feel confident about your spending plan. I enjoy setting up first-time budgets as well as troubleshooting existing budgets. I especially love working with neurodivergent folks (like me!)

My Background

Growing up, my family never talked about budgets or managing money. Even after I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in business & technology and later got a Masters in Business from Duke, I still felt clueless on how to handle my day-to-day expenses. I started using YNAB in 2016 and had a big AHA! moment with my money. That led me to this (part-time) career helping folks like me have a lot more confidence - and a lot more fun - while managing their money. I also work at a non-profit supporting our staff’s IT and office needs. I love helping people learn systems!

Why Work with Me

I like to make our sessions fun conversations where we talk about your life and how your money and YNAB can enhance it. I’m flexible and non-judgmental; I understand that “life happens” and will support you through it. I love to work with neurodivergent brains (like mine) and will meet your unique learning needs. I can help you budget through life changes like graduating college, having kids, getting divorced, or moving. I will happily support individuals, couples, and small businesses. I’m also part of the LGBTQ+ community and love meeting other folks like me & families like mine.

Why I Coach

I blame my wife! :) She found YNAB and said, “hey, I think you should try this.” I did, but I wasn’t that committed to it. When student loans hit, I dove into YNAB to help me pay them off. It took me a while to understand YNAB’s method, but now YNAB has seen me through paying off those loans and a car, getting married, moving, and having two kids. It’s absolutely part of our family! I’m thrilled to help folks get past the “how-to” so they can get to the exciting part of YNAB -  making their money work for them.
