Some of you may be wondering, what is “Mills Knows Bills,” and how did it come about? In the fall of 2014, Mills sat in her dorm room stunned that she only had $1.50 in her bank account. She said to herself, “that’s it?!?” – no credit card to fall back on, no savings account…nothing. Where did all her money go? How is she going to eat? How can she manage her finances better? These were all questions that flooded her mind; But where should she start? She began keeping track of all expenses and income on a spreadsheet, changed her major to finance, and obtained various positions in the finance industry.

Throughout the past five years, She improved upon this spreadsheet, paid off $25,000 in debt in two years, and have become a budget planning expert. Her experiences led to the creation of practices that have allowed her to help many others obtain financial freedom by cutting down the learning curve.
