About Can I Swing It
It All Began with 5 Questions for 5 Daughters
Can I Swing It's founder Mike Lemelin has five daughters, all of whom needed help figuring out how they were spending their money and where they were going in life.
The 5 questions that always seemed to come up were:
- "Where did your money go?"
- "Why are your credit cards maxed out?"
- "What do you want in life and when are you going to start?"
- "What was your greatest accomplishment today?"
- "What was your biggest misstep today?"
And there was another question that was the most important one of all:
"What are you going to do about it?"
Because of the frequency of these conversations Mike devised a spreadsheet that helped his daughters track their expenses.
As a good father, Mike also gave them life lessons, skills and advice that would stay with them for life. Things like making goals and tracking your progress were a priority. It was important to Mike that his 5 daughters have the necessary tools to be responsible for their decisions based on the data they use and live with every day.
Then it hit him: What if everyone had these tools?
Teenagers and adults alike, in various stages of life, could learn and grow from having this kind of mechanism for setting goals, developing life skills, having a baseline budget, and tracking where your money goes.
And so, Can I Swing It was born.
