Welcome to Smart Money Financial Coaching
Hi there, I'm Kelley Yruegas, the founder of Smart Money Financial Coaching—and the creator of the Three Bucket Budget.

After becoming a Ramsey Solutions Master Financial Coach, I spent countless hours trying traditional budgeting systems that were complicated and hard to stick with—for my clients and for me. That’s when I developed the Three Bucket Budget—a simple, effective method that helps people manage their money without tracking every dollar.

This approach is the heart of everything I teach:
âś… Easy to learn
âś… Flexible to your lifestyle
âś… Designed to bring clarity and peace of mind

At Smart Money, I believe your budget should work for you, not the other way around. Whether you want to get out of debt, build savings, or just stop stressing about money, I’ll help you put a plan in place that fits your life.

Let’s make financial peace simple. Your future self will thank you!

"Kelley Yruegas is not only professional but truly walks beside you on your money journey. She doesn't just use encouraging words, but gives you a solid plan to follow."

 -Leticia I. (Local School Cafeteria Supervisor)

"...One of the main approaches that I appreciated about Kelley’s coaching was how she spent time to get to know me. It was easy to connect and be honest with her about my concerns. I didn’t feel the slightest amount of judgment or insecurities while receiving coaching from Kelley. The moment I knew the coaching was helping is when Kelley organized my finances into categories. As a visual learner, this was extremely helpful and is a method that I know is sustainable and feasible for me to maintain..."

 -C.S. (28 year old military wife in the healthcare field)

"...We were not in debt but after sharing with Kelley how I was struggling to keep things straight Kelley said, “you have many moving parts I can help you. “ She took the time to help me simplify our budget so it was not so overwhelming. Over the months she patiently kept me on course. It was money well spent to get back to controlling the money instead of letting the money control me. 

Thanks Kelley, I appreciate your confidence in budgeting that helped me stay focused and fight the good fight."
