What Students Have to Say
There was so much learning about myself—my biggest realization was that I had strengths and that I could accomplish whatever goals I wanted to. Not only did my career situation change, but something inside of me was also changing. Now I’ve started my own business and as it grows, I can keep improving my family’s life.
I joined Legacy because I was looking for radical changes in my finances and to create a better future for my children. Not only that, I found a welcoming and supporting community. During my journey, I have been able to save more than $7,000 on my 401k, pay over $2,500 for car repair with my emergency fund, and make a plan to pay off my credit card debt thanks to the financial coaching.
During my journey, Legacy provided me with financial literacy that I wasn’t taught. From budgeting, saving, and investing to building generational wealth, Legacy taught me to live with intention instead of survival.
