BOOST YOUR SAVINGS WITH LOW-RISK LADDERING STRATEGIES
oh hey!
It’s nice to meet you
Hi! I’m Karen Burhoe, and I’m the founder of this fantastic financial community, created and designed to help you eliminate the financial overload (and overwhelm) before it starts.
To give you a little background on who I am, I’ve spent my career in the insurance and financial industry. With my passion for helping others, I decided to put my efforts into becoming an online business owner and founded Making Cents Count. I wanted to create a financial community where everyone could feel comfortable learning about managing personal finances, investing, and life insurance regardless of their knowledge level.
I believe you control your finances; they don’t control you

The Shame-Free Retirement Catch-Up Plan for Busy Professional Women
Mastering your finances can seem like a daunting task, but here’s the truth — you don’t need anyone else to do it for you. With the right approach, you have everything it takes to control your own financial future, on your own terms. All it takes is a single idea, a well-placed strategy, a small shift in perspective, or one effective tactic to make a real difference. And the beauty of it? Every decision, every win, every milestone — it’s entirely yours.
As you start to make progress, you’ll notice something shift within you — a growing sense of confidence and self-reliance that no one can take away. The knowledge that you built this, that you made the smart moves, that you figured it out — that’s a kind of security that runs deeper than any bank account balance. You are the architect of your own financial story, and that’s unshakable.
So, take that first step — not because someone told you to, but because you know you’re ready. Trust your instincts, lean into your strength, and back yourself the way you always have. Before long, you won’t just feel confident about your financial future — you’ll know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you created it yourself. And that? That’s a defining moment like no other.
