You're not bad with money. You've been targeted with billion-dollar systems designed to make you want to spend. That could be why 70% of millenials are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

On top of that, money has been made to feel overwhelming. It’s a basic life skill that most of us were never actually taught . . . at home or in school. In fact, 82% of adults wish they would have been taught finances in high school. That's why it can feel like you're wandering through a thick fog when you first start juggling rent, bills, groceries, and savings on your own. You're expected to navigate it like a pro.  But no one gave you a map.

​

That’s why I launched Budget YOU!

 

I’m Silvia Klatman, Creator and Guide of Budget YOU! I’ve spent my career helping individuals and organizations build stability and grow with intention. My background spans business management, nonprofit leadership, and marketing and communications, along with years of hands-on volunteer work in our community. Along the way, I’ve seen how businesses compete for your attention (and your wallet), and how the right guidance can bring clarity and peace.

 

Now I’m bringing those insights to something I care deeply about: shining a beacon light to help you fill in the missing pieces of your financial education.

​

My approach is practical, straightforward, and grounded in real life—not perfection. Whether you’re just starting out, simplifying cash flow, building healthier money habits or tackling debt, my goal is to guide you from financial stress to empowered action.
