-Implement a proven system that’s also customized to your situation and the things that make you happy

A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
The Happy Giraffe is a registered 501(c)(3) non profit focused on helping you find happiness in budgeting (yes, YOU!).

This whole idea started when we (Nigel and Laura Bloomfield) were in college and struggling to stick to a budget. No matter what method we tried, nothing worked! Eventually we created our own system that was easier, less stressful, and made us happy! It was a tremendous blessing to finally have our finances under control and we knew we had to share it with others.

But HOW to share this was the next question. We saw people charging crazy fees to teach their methods (that aren’t very helpful or unique). We didn’t like that at all.That’s when we had the idea to create the nonprofit! So far we’ve helped over 200,000 people around the world with our spreadsheets. This app is the next step to help even more people!
