In addition to Carol’s profession as CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER CM professional, she is currently pursuing her Masters in Counseling (Psychology) with intention of specializing in financial counseling as a qualified Financial Counselor.

Abacus For Money’s business mission: “We help people understand their psychological behaviour and habits towards their money and empowers them to be smart money-user”.

Carol says: “For most of us, money and our feelings towards money are not static, but fluid, dynamic and intense. We know so little about why we experience these emotions towards money and the effects they have on our very existence. Not only do we have a physical self, an emotional self and a social self, but we also have a money self.”

Our psychological money self is an integral part of our behaviour and influences the way we manage our money. In other words, your financial personality is a major factor in how you utilize or save your money and it’s about time to discover your financial behaviour with Abacus For Money proven workshops and coaching sessions!”

Carol also believes that: “A personal financial plan is a logical road map to achieve financial freedom but the person who owns the plan may not be logical and lives an unpredictable life. Only when the person is able to manage life, will the person be able to manage finances.”

Because Carol understands the financial psychology of human behavior, she has created unique workshops and professional financial coaching program under Abacus Self-Empowerment Network (ASEN) that are specially designed to allow for self-discovery in people’s financial behavior and personal effectiveness.
