About Gil: Turn Your Biggest Financial Worries into Unshakable Confidence
You tally up the grocery bill, your heart sinking. The "unexpected" expenses keep piling up—the school field trip, the broken dishwasher, the growing pile of needs and wants. You're smart, you're capable, but when it comes to the family budget, you feel like you're just one misstep away from it all tumbling down.
I know that feeling. I lived it.
My name is Gil, and I nearly took the "safe" path as a bank officer because that's what you're "supposed" to do. But the rigid 9-to-5 life and the constant anxiety of living paycheck-to-paycheck wasn't the future I wanted. I started FrugalMom.com not because I'm a money expert, but because I was a desperate mom on a mission to crack the code on true financial freedom.
The Moment Everything Changed
After a string of failed side-hustles (yes, I once celebrated a $5.81 YouTube paycheck), I was ready to give up and apply for corporate jobs. But then I discovered a blogger openly sharing her $100,000/month income reports.
It wasn't the number that stunned me—it was the possibility. She had built a life of freedom on her own terms, from her laptop. That was my lightning bolt.
I made a desperate pact with myself: I will not apply for a single job unless my blog gets approved by the Mediavine ad network by a hard deadline.
On May 9th, 2019, I got the email. I was in.
That single "yes" was the catalyst. It meant I could bet on myself. I started tracking my progress publicly with income reports, creating a system of accountability and transparency that now forms the backbone of everything I teach.
This Isn't Just About Coupons. It's About Freedom.
