I'm Marnie, and I've been heavily involved in budgeting and financial management since I was 16.

Over the years, I've tried different methods and eventually specialized in digital solutions like Excel, which have helped me and my family achieve our financial goals. My knowledge is not only based on experience, but also on my studies in business administration at the TU Munich (BWL), my passion for finance, and my own journey to save several years' worth of reserves while optimizing our household expenses. On my YouTube channel, I share tried-and-tested tips that can help you organize your finances and save money - whether you're a beginner or already advanced.
