Hi there! I’m Kate, the face behind KateFi.com—a blog dedicated to making life a little easier and a lot more affordable. As a former sports model turned budgeting enthusiast and mommy blogger, I’ve swapped runways and photo shoots for coupon clipping, cheap meal planning, and creative ways to save. My mission is to help you stretch your dollars without sacrificing the things you love.

My Story
Growing up, I never had much experience with managing money. As a sports model, I enjoyed the perks of a glamorous career, but my irregular income made budgeting a challenge. I spent years juggling expenses, often living paycheck to paycheck, until I had my first child. That’s when everything changed.
Motherhood gave me a new perspective. Suddenly, I wasn’t just managing money for myself—I was building a future for my family. I realized I needed to get serious about budgeting and finding creative ways to save. I went all in, learning everything I could about managing a household on a budget, and I found that small, consistent changes could make a big impact.
What started as a personal journey quickly turned into a passion. I began sharing tips with friends, swapping recipes for cheap, healthy meals, and brainstorming ways to make extra money from home. When I saw how much my advice was helping others, I decided to start KateFi.com to reach even more people.
