My Story

Throughout my adult life, I have been challenged by people in industries that were supposed to help me improve my finances. Unfortunately, all to often they made money, while I lost. The investment suggestions offered rarely provided a positive outcome, costing me more and more. These were costly, but valuable, lessons.

I began to evaluate the root cause of my financial woes and found myself developing a systematic approach that worked. As I began to see how effective this system was becoming; I found myself feeling more and more secure for my family in the event something were to happen to me. As part of my legacy; I wanted my children to be able to learn some practical financial knowledge, in hopes that they would not fall into some of the same financial traps.

As I began to share the success of the system that I had designed for my family, people began to request that I share the secrets with them. I found myself helping many people with some of their own financial problems. They began to tell their friends, and the calls kept coming in. I realized there was a great need in the public, for good practical financial knowledge. I started this web site to fulfill this need. That was the beginnings of "How To Keep Money" and "TABS - The Automatic Budget System.

My goal is to provide simple, practical, techniques and systems, for everyone to get their money working for them, and not against them. I look forward to hearing your success story as you implement The Automatic Budgeting System (TABS).
