A savings transfer, a spending decision, or a quick money review. Agree on something specific that fits your week.
Meet with Sam every other week. You can also text or email when a decision comes up between sessions.
Look at what happened without judgment. Keep what helped and change what got in the way.

Same coach. An ongoing conversation.You work directly with Sam—not a new person each time.
A 90-minute deep dive gives Sam the full picture. Ongoing check-ins are 30 minutes every other week. Text/email replies come within one business day during business hours, with your plan and next steps in your private Goalpost portal.
Start with a pattern you recognize. We can work on one useful change at a time.
A purchase feels small in the moment. Later, several of them have used the money you intended to save. Look at the situations and timing around those decisions, not just the total at the end.
A missed target turns into unopened statements or another week without checking. Build a review routine that helps you make the next decision without turning it into a judgment on the whole month.
The plan works until an expensive weekend or a difficult week. Agree on what to do after that happens, so getting back to the plan is a step you can take rather than a fresh start you keep putting off.
For example, suppose shopping after a demanding workday keeps taking money away from a savings goal. We could look at when it happens, what you want that spending to do for you, and a change you are willing to try.
That might be a pause before checking out, a planned amount you can spend freely, or a different way to review purchases. At the next session, we look at what actually happened. You help choose the routine; Sam helps you evaluate and adjust it.
The point is to find something useful in your real life. A harsher rule is not automatically a better plan.
Not sure what kind of support you need? Compare doing it yourself, working with a partner, and hiring a coach.
Start with your financial picture and the moments when the plan becomes hard to follow. Your 90-minute assessment gives the work context.
Agree on a routine, spending decision, or check-in you can try. Connect it to a clear purpose, such as less borrowing or more consistent saving.
Meet every two weeks to talk through the real week, including the parts that did not work. Keep your notes and next actions in the Goalpost portal.
Keep useful routines and change the ones that add friction. You can text or email Sam between sessions when a decision or setback needs attention.

See everything included →A financial accountability coach helps you turn money goals into specific actions, review what happened, and adjust when life gets in the way. At Goalpost, money habits coaching means working directly with Sam on spending, saving, or debt goals, with private check-ins every two weeks and support between sessions.
Budget coaching focuses on what your income needs to cover and how to organize it. Habits work focuses on what happens when you try to follow that plan. You can work on both with Sam, but the starting problem is different.
We can look at when spending happens, what makes the decision easy, and what practical change you want to try. That could mean a purchase pause, a planned spending amount, or a different review routine. We discuss what happened at the next check-in and adjust it.
No. You may want to save more consistently, stop avoiding your accounts, or follow through on decisions you already know you want to make. If debt is the main pressure, debt coaching adds a payoff plan.
No. Goalpost works on practical money routines, planning, and accountability. Sam does not provide psychotherapy, diagnose conditions, or treat compulsive behavior. A licensed mental-health professional is the right source for those needs.
You agree on manageable next steps, keep the plan and notes in your private Goalpost portal, and can text or email Sam when a question comes up. We review what happened in private calls every two weeks.
The recommended plan is $250/month, designed for 12 months of work. The $400/month option lets you decide one month at a time.
