With a doctorate in Finance, Rahaim strongly encourages experiential learning and enjoys empowering people in part by translating elusive financial concepts to accessible language.

You might say Dr. Rahaim, aka “The Money Doctor”, sees things through a wider lens than many other financial professionals, unusually targeting debt as a primary (yet virtually ignored) threat to a comfortable retirement. Accordingly, HUG Your Money helps Members become debt-free, improve credit, budget wisely, build savings, and rejuvenate their retirement dreams.

Utilizing her proprietary software and coaching system, Dr. Rahaim and her HUG team help motivate and support Members, improve vital money management skills and achieve their short and long-term financial goals.

To date ‘The Money Doctor’s’ coaching and software has helped thousands of loyal followers pay for college, retire comfortably, gain a sense of control over their finances, save millions (if not billions) of dollars in debt payments, gain a sense of control over their finances and enjoy the peace of mind we all deserve.
