As the first in her immediate family to attend college, L. Renee Whaley is a 1998 graduate of the University of South Carolina and later received her MBA in 2009 from Argosy University. As a Financial Coach and a Ramsey Solutions Financial Master Coach, Whaley specializes in sharing the message that budgeting and debt management are the keys to a life of financial freedom. Financial management has long been a passion of Whaley’s. As she worked her way through college at the University of South Carolina, Renee never had a student loan! Whaley’s mother taught her three children that frivolous spending was not the way; and more importantly, God was a provider. She instilled in her children that they should “owe no man” as stated in the Bible. Whaley further emphasizes to her clients Proverbs 13:22, which states in part, “a good man leaves an inheritance to your children’s children.” Whaley found herself in $75k worth of debt, but in 3 years, paid off every penny of it! Whaley has been happily married to Norman Whaley, Jr., an Art Educator for the Atlanta Public Schools system, for 20 years. Norman and Renee are parents to two boys – Judah and Jonah.
