“Business suits and stock charts are boring. I’m on a mission to bring a little sparkle to the financial world.” Staci Dennett ~ Budgetista Extraordinaire

Staci Dennett, Budgetista Extraordinaire, is the owner of Penny Wise, a boutique personal budgeting firm. Staci is fiercely committed to guiding successful women who are trapped on a bumpy financial roller coaster to end their money stress and help them achieve financial empowerment. If you are looking for a proven professional who can guide you to pay your debt faster, reach your money goals and enjoy financial security in a fun, non-judgmental manner then Staci Dennett is your answer. She wholeheartedly believes that women should not feel trapped in a never ending cycle of money in, money out with nothing left over to fund their dreams and goals. Ms. Dennett’s mission and commitment is to help women discover the power they have over their own financial situation so they can live the amazing life they deserve.

Staci Dennett’s path to become the Budgetista Extraordinaire was paved at an early age, although it was not until later in life that she realized her destiny.  Although her current mantra is “Money is FUN!” money was not always a cheery subject for Staci. At an early age she experienced the highs and lows of her parent’s poor money choices. “One day my mom and I went on a shopping spree buying high end designer jeans, but the next day I came home and the electricity was shut off” remembers Ms. Dennett. After several other similar experiences, Staci became well aware that money meant security.

Several years later, as a recent graduate from Warren Wilson College, Staci was determined to use her hard earned money to help her find security, so she went on a hunt for as much information as she could find about personal money management and paying off her student loans. Unfortunately, what she found was very little information geared toward young women and a condescending Financial Advisor. “As I sat in his office, he made me feel stupid that I didn’t understand how the stock market worked. I quickly realized that all he wanted was my money to invest- which I didn’t have very much of – and he was disinterested in helping me learn how to manage my day-to-day expenses,” recalls Ms. Dennett. It was this experience that led Staci on a journey to discover her own financial strength.

For months, Staci budgeted, she saved, she bargain hunted and she crunched numbers until she knew down to the penny how she would reach her money goals and pay off her debt. Using the knowledge she gained, she started helping friends and family take control of their own money as well. After helping her mother find a way off of her money roller coaster, Staci realized that there must be thousands of other women who are searching for answers to their own money questions, but they are tired of being made to feel stupid that they don’t know the answers. It was at this moment that Staci realized her destiny was to be an ally to hard working women who are actively seeking answers to their pressing money questions. In June 2011, Penny Wise was born with a mission to empower women to reach their financial goals. As a Budgetista Extraordinaire, Staci enjoys bringing a little sparkle to the financial world by being the cheerleader women need to help them overcome money challenges and reach their financial and life goals.   

Clients say remarkable things about the impact her work has on their life and money success. Staci is incredibly dedicated to her client’s success and she is humbled by the powerful testimonials of her clients.

“Before working with Penny Wise, money was a major stress for me. I didn’t have a system in place to make sure my money went where it was supposed to; I would just spend money when I felt like it. My accounts were always overdrawn and I was paying hundreds of dollars in late fees. I would forget to pay bills so I would have my cell phone or electricity shut off every few months. My financial life was a scary roller coaster ride!

I worked with Staci Dennett at Penny Wise, and she was so understanding and non-judgmental of my financial choices. She worked with me to help me figure out where all of my money was going and why I always seemed to run out before the end of the month. Staci also helped me learn how to make better money choices so I could afford the things I want. She was practical and straight forward, but also extremely encouraging!

After working with Penny Wise, I learned to pay my bills on time. I don’t spend every penny that I make and I put a little money away each month to save up for the big purchases that I want to make. I actually have a savings account with money in it! I don’t spend hundreds of dollars in late fees every month so I have money to treat my kids and grandkids when I want to. I was even able to buy my mother a new dryer when hers unexpectedly broke. I really have learned how to use my money to live the life that I want. And best of all, I don’t stress about my money!”  Sherry B.
