About ENTowner Build a Legacy

Helping everyday people rebuild, reset, and grow their financial lives-one step at a time.

Welcome to ENTowner Build a Legacy, a financial education space created to encourage, empower, and inspire people who are ready to improve their money habits, strengthen their financial confidence, and build something meaningful for the next generation.

This site was created for real people with real-life responsibilities — mothers, families, first-generation wealth builders, beginners, comeback stories, and anyone who has ever looked at their finances and thought, “Where do I even start?”

Here, we believe you do not have to be rich to begin building wealth.
You just have to be willing to start from where you are.

My Mission

My mission is simple:

To reach as many people as possible with practical financial education, encouragement, and tools that help them thrive in their relationships, live with more stability, improve their financial future, and build a legacy for generations to come.

Financial literacy is not just about numbers. It is about access, confidence, decision-making, survival, healing, and opportunity.

For many people, money was never explained in a way that felt clear, safe, or realistic. ENTowner Build a Legacy exists to help close that gap.

Why I Started This Journey

My story did not begin with wealth, privilege, or a financial roadmap.

As a child, my sister and I were removed from our biological home due to neglect and placed into foster care. We became wards of the state after experiencing circumstances no child should have to understand.

Thankfully, we were placed with a stable family that gave us structure, guidance, and life lessons that stayed with me. I am forever grateful for the foundation they helped provide.

But even with that support, adulthood came with challenges.

Like many young people aging out of difficult circumstances, I had to learn how to survive, work, make decisions, manage money, and build a life without having a full financial playbook. I had to figure out what many people are expected to know but are rarely taught.

That is where my passion for financial education began.

From Survival to Financial Awareness

I know what it feels like to start with a small bank account, limited guidance, and big responsibilities.

I also know what it feels like to want more — not just more money, but more stability, more understanding, more peace, and more options.

That journey led me to write, teach, create, and share what I was learning along the way.

What began as a blog eventually grew into my book, Journey into Finance, and later expanded into the Journey into Finance — A Mother’s Finance Journey podcast, digital resources, blog posts, worksheets, and starter kits designed to help others take practical steps with their money.

My goal has never been to sound perfect.

My goal is to be real, useful, and encouraging.

Who This Site Is For

ENTowner Build a Legacy is for the person who wants to do better with money but needs the information broken down in a practical, relatable way.

It is for the mother trying to manage bills, children, work, and goals.

It is for the person rebuilding after financial mistakes.

It is for the first-generation wealth builder trying to create something they did not inherit.

It is for the beginner who wants to understand budgeting, credit, investing, and legacy without feeling talked down to.

It is for anyone who believes their current situation does not have to be their final destination.

Why Legacy Matters

Legacy is not only about leaving money behind.

Legacy is also about leaving wisdom, structure, courage, values, and better choices.

Sometimes legacy starts with one person deciding:

“I may not have been taught everything, but I can still learn.”
“I may not have started with much, but I can still build.”
“I may have made mistakes, but I can still reset.”
“I can help my family do better because I chose to begin.”

That is the heart of ENTowner Build a Legacy.

A Note From ENTowner

I prefer to stay behind the scenes, but I also understand that part of building a legacy is being willing to share the story, the lessons, and the tools that helped shape the journey.

I am not here pretending the road is always easy.

I am here to remind you that it is still possible.

Whether you are reading a blog post, listening to a podcast, downloading a worksheet, or starting your first budget, I hope this space gives you encouragement and practical steps you can use.

Start small.
Start honest.
Start from where you are.

Start where you are. Build what you can. Leave something better.

So, I started a blog named “journeyintofinance.com” and then turned that into a book to help encourage, empower, and inspire people to improve their financial outlook, change some embedded myths of what wealth “looks” like, and build a legacy for their families. It’s for people like me, who had to start from a very small bank account and grow in knowledge to thrive and not just survive. It’s important to obtain an education, but it’s also very expensive. I didn’t inherit wealth, so I did what most people do: take out student loans. Most foster parents aren’t educated about financial management or instructed to provide a savings account for the children they open their homes to. That’s where our organization comes in.

Some say the foster care system needs more transitional living. This is a fact; however, are they providing the necessary tools to help them after this transitional living expires? And yes, it will expire.

Thank you in advance.

The ENTowner Build a Legacy, Inc. provides the financial education skills from a former foster child’s experience, on working with a system in much need of repair, and we need your support. Please donate to this worthy cause and help us help those most in need in our communities- our forgotten youth- those who have already been uprooted from their homes due to forms of neglect and placed as “wards of the state”.

Wishing you peace and prosperity,
