About

This ‘financial’ thing is hard to understand — really, really hard.

You’re already doing everything on your own.

You’ve been ‘making things happen’ for as long as you remember.

Your time is stretched beyond thin, and frankly, you’re exhausted.

You need a break from the relentlessness of all the demands.

And you need guidance…

So you can feel CONFIDENT about the financial powerhouse you are becoming.

Welcome to Making Cents Count!

About Karen Burhoe

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 have a BS in Management from Pepperdine University’s George L. Graziadio School of Business and Management, and I held Advisor Series 7 and 63 Securities Licenses NASD FINRA, while working with the largest insurance carriers in the nation. So, I’m intimately acquainted with many aspects of the financial and insurance sectors.

My goal is to package the financial industry “jargon” (terminology and information) in bite-sized pieces that are easy to understand. I want to empower you and help you discover a better way to organize your finances. I want to arm you with the knowledge to take control of your money. I want you to feel confident and prepared as you move into a secure future.

In addition to the valuable information that you’ll find here at Making Cents Count, I provide limited 1:1 personal finance & consulting services. I also oversee the membership site, the Financial Success Society, which includes a robust, private community centered on core values, beliefs, and financial philosophies.

If you’re ready to get financially organized or take your finances to the next level, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have with regard to our services as well as our products available for purchase.  Together, we will help you take control of your finances so that they won’t control you!

About Making Cents Count

I created Making Cents Count to guide and educate mature women with organizing their finances and building customized investment strategies so they feel confident about a secure financial future.

I believe you control your finances; they don’t control you.

I believe you have what it takes to control your finances with the proper tools.

I believe you are unstoppable once you feel confident about your financial decisions.

You need —and want— to be present and intentional about your own financial well-being.

Above all, you need the feeling of confidence about a secure financial future.

Imagine if you were in control of your finances and felt financially secure.  Knowing that your financial decisions are the “right” decisions.  Knowing that you’re financially organized.  Felt in financial control and confident about a secure financial future.  Yes, it really is possible…

Your journey to financial success is unique.  If you’re ready to move forward with your finances, and want to get financially organized, the Making Cents Count Financial Organizer is the robust answer you need. The organizer is our DIY financial services option, providing you with the tools to eliminate financial overwhelm, with results that fit your schedule + lifestyle.

Imagine watching your finances thrive, month-after-month, year-after-year — all because of YOU!
