What our clients say

“I’ll never forget our first meeting. I started crying because I felt suffocated with anxiety and stress. Now, I feel a sense of hope that I will figure it out and live financially stress free again one day. Thank you so much for the support, Susie. I truly appreciate you!”
Alison, Eagle County.
“In the past, I intended to save and manage my expenses, but it wasn't until my second Financial Counseling session with the FEC of the Rockies that I realized the importance of building a habit. Keeping this in mind has helped me reduce my expenses, and now I can focus on growing my savings and building a good credit history.”
Garfield County Client.
