Why Managing Money Feels Hard in Your 20s, 30s and Early Career (And What Actually Helps)

Early in your career, managing money is supposed to start feeling easier. Instead, many people feel overwhelmed, unsure where their money is going, and stressed about whether they are making the right financial decisions. The shift from school or entry-level work to full-time income often comes with financial pressure that no one prepares you for.

My Money Playbook: Hourly & Salary Edition was created for this exact stage of life, when income starts to increase but clarity does not always follow.

Your paycheck disappears faster than you expect

You know you should have a plan, but don’t know where to start

You avoid checking your accounts because it stresses you out

You feel behind compared to where you “should” be by now

Created by an NFL Money Coach With 15+ Years of Experience

For more than 15 years, I’ve worked as a financial coach helping people build structure, discipline, and confidence around their money. My work has included coaching professional athletes in the NFL and NBA, where financial decisions often come with high pressure, fluctuating income, and long-term consequences. Those experiences shaped how this money system was built.

The same principles that help athletes manage income, spending, and long-term planning are the ones early-career professionals need most. My Money Playbook takes that proven framework and simplifies it for everyday earners who want a clear, practical way to manage their money without feeling overwhelmed. This isn’t theory or generic advice. It’s a system built from real coaching conversations and real financial behavior.
