What is Fintuition?
Fintuition is how confident and empowered you feel when you make a financial decision. Long-term financial success is about more than just the bottom line or a formulaic approach to spending and saving. When you understand your values, biases, and emotions surrounding money and taxes, you can use that knowledge to find solutions that bring clarity and confidence to your financial decisions. Fintuition is here to increase your financial IQ while exploring and transforming your financial EQ… one emotion at a time.
