Hello! My name is Dynea, and I’m a mother to two amazing five-year-old twin girls. In 2023, my life changed drastically due to divorce, and with that change came a new perspective on life and finances. I’m here today to share that life can be messy, and your path may not always be clear, but God is faithful, and He values us—even in our struggles.

This blog is called Neanomics, a blend of my name and "economics"—but with a personal twist. As you may know, economics is the study of how resources are managed and allocated in societies. When it comes to personal finances and life, I’ve come to realize that it’s about more than just managing money—it’s about how we manage our lives, our choices, and the direction we choose to take. That’s why I created Neanomics, a space where I explore life and finances through my own lens, offering you a unique perspective on everything from budgeting to mindset to how I’m working toward my personal and financial goals.

For me, it’s not just about the numbers; it’s about living life on purpose while aligning your financial decisions with your values. It’s about creating a life that reflects what truly matters to you, even in the face of adversity.

In 2023, after my divorce, I found myself navigating a new reality. While the journey was tough, it sparked a deeper understanding of how finances and life decisions intertwine. I realized that true financial freedom isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about embracing change, finding strength in vulnerability, and building a life that aligns with who I am and where I want to go.

As I embark on this new chapter of my life, I’m filled with excitement and curiosity about the evolution of my financial journey. I’m sharing this experience with you in the hope that it can inspire someone, somewhere, to take bold steps toward their own goals of financial freedom and purposeful living. Whether you’re navigating a tough season or simply seeking new ways to align your finances with your values, I hope this blog will offer support and inspiration.

At this point in my life, I believe that documenting my journey with vulnerability and transparency is the key to not only holding myself accountable but also empowering others to do the same. By sharing both the triumphs and challenges, I hope to encourage you to step boldly into your own future, knowing that you’re not alone on this path.

Welcome to Neanomics! I’d love for you to join me on this journey. Feel free to share your thoughts, your goals, or your own story in the comments—I believe we can learn and grow together.
