While in college, she recalls a host of credit card companies offering freebies if she signed on the dotted line – so she did.  One after another, she accumulated credit card debt in exchange for tokens that cost close to nothing!  Armed with an unstable part-time job and a victim to spending, she found herself in a financial mess, she knew something had to be done. Therefore, after graduating from college, Kemberley made a strong commitment to get her finances in order. She began to seek God’s help and wisdom to turn her finances around.  As such, she was able to purchase her first home at the age of 23 and started her journey to help others.
