"WalletWin is helping us to organize our finances so that we can focus on our loving our family and each other, raising our children in the faith, and doing God's will in our lives. Early in the program we were asked to identify our "why" for being in good financial shape. That was easy for my husband and I - we want the freedom to say "yes" to making choices that align with our faith- how we educate our children, what work we do, as well as how and where we share our time and financial assets with the world. WalletWin is getting us closer and closer to that freedom."

"We strive for intentionality in all ways in our marriage, but finances are something we both had little experience with managing. We are frugal and simple people and did what we could to learn about everything ourselves, but it caused a lot of frustration at times. Wallet win has been so helpful and is guiding us to live out this part of our lives intentionally. We are paying down debt and planning an amazing future for our family. We can't wait to pass on what we learn and set them up for success."

"As someone who is single, it has allowed me to prepare for my future vocation by paying off debt and saving. WalletWin has allowed me to be generous with my time and money."

"We have been SO much more at peace and on the same page with our finances."

"As a single foster parent, I believe it has made me more aware of my vocation to love. How can I budget my money well so that I can love my foster son better."

"I think it has helped me realize where I can be very selfish in my life and have seen where I haven't prepared myself for my future vocation financially speaking...and also I have realized that I have not been a good steward of what God has blessed me with. Through WalletWin, I have finally been able to get on track with my finances and helped me plan for the future so if someday I am called into marriage, I don't have to bring a load of debt into our relationship. I have also seen where I have been enslaved to my finances and not being able to live out my dreams that God has put on my heart."

"WalletWin has impacted our marriage more than y’all could know. Thank you!!!"

"I began using WalletWin a few months before my now-husband and I got engaged. I knew I wanted to enter our marriage as close to debt-free as possible, so we could start working on building a life together. WalletWin has helped me even now as we begin our marriage - I get easily overwhelmed by finances and sticker shock when looking at how much debt we still have, but feel confident making decisions that will help us to build a financial future we thought we could only dream of."

"I am working to be more charitable in supporting other missionaries, churches, causes, Catholic radio programs, etc."

"We were tithing but we have been more intentional with our giving and we have even gave extra as the Lord calls us beyond our tithe!"

"I have been able to budget my 10% tithe whereas before I wasn’t tithing at all because I didn’t think I had the means."

"I have been more aware of what I give and how much. Which has helped me discern where I want my dollars to go."

"I think I always had a good view of giving, thanks to FOCUS, but I think it helped me put a number to it instead of just guessing."

"It has increased."

"Amazing."

"If parish families embraced WalletWin and the resulting freedom there really could be a significant change in culture. I find myself surrounded by people who feel too busy and too tired to take anything else on. Many who feel too busy to even attend mass or spend time growing in their spiritual lives. Managing personal finances well could allow people the freedom to really choose how they not only spend their money but also their time. Parishes could also see the benefit of this freedom in their parishioners lives when people have the confidence in their budget to give to the parish."

"SOO GOOD! Teaching Catholics how to view/use money would bring the Church together in a new way especially when it comes to generous giving (missionaries, Catholic Charities, ACA, etc.)"

"I think it would change the culture of our parishes. As someone that has worked in a parish and saw the finance side of things as well as the budgets, I think it would be a huge blessing. To help people understand money, not as just a number but a resource and something that needs to be looked at is huge. It would hold people accountable in a different way but also allow an aspect of prayer to take place within it as well. (I hope that makes sense)"

"Wow! Amazing to even think about it."

"I cannot imagine what impact this would have on young families starting out. I would have loved to have placed this resource in my parents' hands as they were building a future and would LOVE to see these financial practices influencing the way we teach our kids about money."

"Needed."

"It’s very important because it helps then to live more aspects of life in accordance with God's will."

"Jesus asks us to be good stewards of our money. Money is what is going to pay for the political campaigns of pro-life politicians passionate about defunding Planned Parenthood. Money is what funds commissions for Catholic artist to keep Catholicism as the pinnacle of beauty. Money buys food to feed hungry mouths, and pays for labor and supplies to dig wells for the thirsty. Money funds Catholic schools and hospitals, insuring that they have the best research and supplies available so that they can serve God and follow church teaching. Money touches everything, including our faith just as God does (and more). It's crucial that we are responsible with it."

"It's important for Catholics to learn to live their lives God's way. Our finances are a concrete component of life where we can make very visible progress in doing that."

"Getting out of debt and having the confidence to share of our gifts with others allows so much beauty and opportunity into our parishes and Catholic schools. Our parishes could turn their focus more to the people we are called to serve."

"It improves the Church in many ways. Just like it brings couples together, it helps bring a parish together. People would be so much more unified and willing to help each other out if we could all be good stewards of God’ money."

"This is so important because as a FOCUS missionary my home parish comes from a wealthy area, but many do not tithe nor do they desire to give. Only if it will benefit them directly."

"Catholics (as most Christians) suck at giving and constantly use the excuse of not having enough money to give while constantly blowing it on things that don’t matter. I work with college students for a living. Our current tithe for the student Mass on a good week is $30 even though it’s about 70 people. That’s embarrassing. First they need invited to tithe, then they need to know how to manage their money so they can tithe."

"We had looked into Dave Ramsey’s course and some of the ways he spoke turned us off. We heard about WW from a Catholic blog so knowing Jonathan and Amanda were Catholic encouraged us to check their program out."

"It allows for so many beautiful fruits - first, the lack of enslavement to debtors and the vicious cycle of paying off loans/debt; second, the freedom that comes from being able to invest in a future, particularly in the future for our families and the next generation; and third, allows for us to support ministries, parishes, etc that stir our heart and lead the way of the New Evangelization. Yes, we need missionaries, but we also need money to keep our churches alive."

"My husband and I have recently began fundraising for an apostolate that we started in 2016. It wasn't until this experience that I feel like I really understand our financial duty as well as our personal mission to uphold our Church, its ministries, and our Catholic Schools. We feel now more than ever so much joy in sharing what we have with others knowing that it allows God's kingdom to grow. I 100% believe that your gifts and passion for helping people will open so many hearts to live simply and share generously."

"Jonathan and Amanda are lighthearted and fun as teachers. You can see their passion for the topic and it is inspiring. My husband and I have been able to benefit from their experience and knowledge all while not feeling like it was a total chore. We are enjoying spending time together crafting our new financial reality. Jonathan and Amanda's teaching style makes the process a welcome one."

"They are passionate and knowledgable. Their dynamic as a couple is both entertaining and balanced!"

"It’s SO comforting knowing that Catholics are looking to grow the Kingdom of God through their expertise on finance. Especially since they worked for FOCUS and fundraised their whole salary!"

"Jonathan and Amanda have been a HUGE help for me in the last few months with figuring out my budget and getting on track. Amanda has given me some GREAT advice that has already helped me relieve some financial burdens and make some great leaps in each of the steps, primarily right now in growing my Emergency Fund so I can start paying off debt! They bring a new and different perspective to this forum because they are a young family who has gone through A LOT to gain their own financial freedom and have been super blessed by God as a result of their faithfulness."

"I love their sense of humor and passion for what they do."

"Their lighthearted approach makes an overwhelming process more fun."
