THE FOUNDER
Kumiko Ehrmantraut
Founder and creator of The Budget Mom
Kumiko is a mom to a beautiful little boy, wife to a wonderful husband and best friend to her dog Rocko. She works in the finance industry by day and blogs by night. She graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2011 with a business degree in finance and received her Accredited Financial Counselor® designation in 2015.
Since marrying her husband almost 5 years ago, she has had one goal in mind – improve her financial situation so her family could live a life filled with purpose and abundance. Since starting her financial journey, she has realized two things. First, your real self is more important than your ideal self and secondly, and more importantly, a life of abundance is not about what you have but how you live.
Kumiko currently lives in Spokane, WA where she enjoys photography, riding motorcycles with her husband, and coloring with her son.

Thanks Fabiola. So happy you found TBM!
Such a great site! I love that you empower women to take care and charge of their finances. Very cool that you live in Spokane too!
Thank you so much Ann!
Life of abundance. I love that. I recently came across this word in regards to mantras. This is exactly the word that I think of when I think of life… ABUNDANCE! I love your blog. Let me ask you, I am thinking of doing the Financial Counselor certification because I also desire to help others get out of debt and live a good life. How difficult do you think it is for someone with no financial background? I am a nurse, not a biz major. I help others with budgets, but would like to help them with more than that. Thank you for your time:)
