Hello, I am Chantel Tavares, the Millennial Money Coach. I coach millennials to find their lost money and build a life based on their passions. From before I graduated with my Accounting Bachelors, I knew for my dream career and lifestyle: 1) Whatever work I did needed to have more personal communication with people vs just their checkbooks. 2) I wanted to help other millennials not to settle for whatever people forced on them and work in their own passions 3) I needed flexibility so I could also explore my other passions in singing and acting. As I continued to coach other on taking care of money, I realized there was a bigger issue that myself and others haven't address. That was "what are you saving for?" Because I saw that purpose was needed, I now focus not only on coaching millennials to take care of their budgeting and debts, but also to save for their passions. Whether they want to go into singing or build a design business, I want to make sure my clients fully embrace their creative passions and use their money to grow them further in these passions.
