John and Jennifer applied for KEMBA's Biggest Saver with the hope that their financial trainer could help them strengthen their financial security. Their two young daughters are their main motivation to change their financial life.
They have a busy lifestyle but say they need this contest to help them see the big picture of what they're doing wrong, what they are doing well and how to create a plan of action to help them get back on the right track. With the help of their financial trainer, they don't plan to fall back into old spending habits after the contest is over. Their goal is to use this contest to improve their financial lives forever.
The Pates don't have a definite plan for the $10,000 if they should win. They are keeping their options open and going to seek the advice of their financial trainer to find out the best way to spend, or save, the prize money.
