Kathleen is a fantastic instructor with a true passion for what she’s teaching. My husband and I recently took a class with Kathleen through her company, Katalytic, along with several other 20-something’s and the class left us all thinking “Why don’t they teach this as a standard course in school?!” It is just so, so relevant and no one should be allowed to “graduate into adulthood” without learning this stuff :P  We know that no matter what life stage we're at that starting wise financial habits NOW will really help us in the future. We thank Kathleen for helping us. We could really feel how genuinely she cares about her students and their success. She worked with us to help get us on a path toward achieving our financial goals. Thank you for such a worthwhile investment in our future!

Through the financial course that my wife and I took with Kathleen, we feel 100% more confident in dealing with our finances. We learned crucial financial information that we wouldn’t have even thought to look at before the course. Now, my wife and I know how to budget well and truly manage our money with wisdom and discernment thanks to Kathleen. We are in our early 20s and, honestly, we wish we had learned this stuff even earlier. Not only did Kathleen teach my wife and me so much, but she also fostered a community for a group of us in our 20s to grow together and learn how to be financially responsible.  The earlier you can get ahold of this information the better! And if you are lucky enough to have the chance, I recommend Kathleen Rumford as an instructor.

My husband and I took a personal finance peace course with Kathleen and were blown away by her wisdom! She guided us through the process of becoming debt free (someday soon!) and we can’t thank her enough for opening up her home and sharing all she knows about personal finance!

 Starting at a young age, Kathleen Rumford (my mom) taught me crucial skills and mindsets for strategically handling my finances. I also took her financial course when I was 17 and  reviewed it again when I was almost 21. As I've gotten older and faced more responsibilities, It has become blatant how important this financial wisdom really is. As I look around at my early 20's peers, the majority of whom haven't even been taught basic budgeting, I realize how much of an advantage I've been blessed with. There is such a desperate need for the knowledge that Kathleen has to impart for people of all ages!

This mentoring did 3 major things for me. First, it raised awareness of my financial situation and upcoming needs. Second, it made me realize that all of the little choices that I make with my money are so important. This has given me an idea of how I need to be handling money. Third, it's made me dream about what my future financial state could be and has given me concrete examples of how to get there. Overall, I feel much more ready to face the world of finances being confident in my own knowledge and having ideas of where to look for help when I need it.

This Personal Finance class gave me language for the future. I am 19 years old and don’t pay for a mortgage or insurance yet, however this class gave me words to what is coming in the next seasons of life. It also gave me foundational information for how to manage my money and what a healthy perspective of money is. This class is extremely relevant and has been the bridge into my next stage of life. Mrs. Rumford taught this class with 'the heart of a teacher' and was so faithful in walking with me throughout the class. I highly recommend taking Mrs. Rumford's course!

Worrying about credit and finding  ways to take out car loans are things my friends have been talking about recently. I told them about the sinking fund concept (dividing the full amount needed by the # of months they have so they save up until they have enough cash) and how budgeting is extremely important in everyday life. There have been times I've run so low on money that I don't think I'll be able to last the next week, but once I put together a budget, my finances all make sense on where each dollar needs to go and where I can save or spend. It saves so much stress, and financial stress may as well be one of the most difficult to handle!

Kathleen's finance class back in high school was easily the best thing I've ever done concerning my education.  To this day, I've retained more information in her one class than I have with any other. Finances can crush you without understanding, yet it can build a firm foundation in a difficult world if you learn it!  You can tell Kathleen is excited to teach finance, as it was exciting for me to learn and participate with ease.

I attribute much of my daughter's financial prowess to the things she learned with Kathleen. She is now 22 and still putting into effect the principles that impacted her to be a careful spender, a good planner, and wise with her budget. She has made it her goal to stay out of debt and away from the use of credit cards. Not only a blessing to her but to this mama's heart as well!

Taking Mrs. Rumford's finance class as a high schooler in 2012-2013, gave me a great edge on understanding financial terminology and getting ahead later with my investment strategies. She cares about her students and pushes them to succeed so that they can establish a strong and diverse financial footing early in life. Highly recommended for everyone!
