After six wonderful years, Young & Scrappy has Closed its doors to create space for something new.
A Note from the Chief Money Nerd
Hey friend, Michelle here! I’m so glad you found our website! However, as the header text above suggests, Young & Scrappy has officially closed its doors as of December 31, 2025.
To be honest, the original plan was to stop offering financial planning and investment management services to better focus on my coaching work through Y&S—you can read about this decision here.
However, after much thought, I’ve also decided to move our financial coaching programs and group empowerment resources over to our new home at Radical Wealth Collective.
It’s been an honor and a pleasure to serve you all for the last six years through Young & Scrappy, and I hope our paths cross as I step into this new phase of values-aligned, sliding-scale coaching work.
Abundantly yours,
Michelle
