Founder of Dreamz on Fire, Crystal Rigley Janis has spent over a decade turning money confusion into money confidence first as an award-recognized high school economics teacher, now as a financial coach for adults ready to take control.
I’m passionate okay, obsessed with personal finance and the transformative impact it has on your life. Whether you’re a high school student stepping into adulthood or an adult trying to finally feel confident with money, I believe financial education is the ultimate key to freedom, empowerment, and making your dreams happen.
My personal finance journey began with my own struggles. Like so many, I entered adulthood unprepared for the financial realities of life. College gave me a degree, but it didn’t give me the tools to thrive financially. After a rough transition from college to adulthood with no financial knowledge, I became determined to ensure others wouldn’t face the same challenges. Read More
In 2009, I became a high school teacher to bring financial education to those who needed it most. For 7 years, I crammed personal finance lessons into my AP Macroeconomics class, reaching over 240 students annually. But that wasn’t enough for me—I wanted to go bigger. In 2019, I launched Personal Finance: Dream, Plan, Execute, Thrive, a year-long elective course that combines money skills, goal-setting, and career exploration to help students crush adulthood.
In 2024, I left the classroom to expand my reach beyond high school students. Now, I work with people of all ages who are ready to ditch financial stress and start thriving. I guide them to shift their money mindset, master life-changing strategies, and finally take control of their finances. This new chapter also gives me time to volunteer in my daughter’s first-grade classroom while living my dream of empowering others to succeed.
Here’s the truth: personal finance isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about creating a life you love. Money is the tool that makes your wildest dreams possible, and I’m here to help you make it happen. Let’s do this!
That's the mission behind Dreamz on Fire and it's why Crystal Rigley Janis built it. Ready to start your own transformation?

From Crystal
When Svetlana came to me with her money challenges, including above-average credit card debt, the idea of budgeting felt overwhelming to her. Her husband was eager for them to create a budget so they could get on the same page about their finances, but Svetlana didn’t feel ready. Adding to the challenge, they both had inconsistent paychecks, and like many people in similar situations, she believed a budget wasn’t possible without steady income.
The truth is, everyone needs a budget especially those with inconsistent income. Knowing your expenses provides a clear plan for how much you need to earn. So, we created a budget together. The initial setup took just 30 minutes, and we met two more times to compare her estimates with her actual spending and make adjustments.
Svetlana later told me what so many of my clients say: ‘I was making budgeting into this really big and scary thing, but the reality is, it’s so easy.’ It felt easy because we worked on it together. By allowing me, an expert to guide her, Svetlana fast-tracked her way to financial clarity and empowerment.
Today, her budget has completely transformed her outlook on money and her relationship with her husband. This kind of transformation is possible for you too!
“Thank you so much! You put my head and mind on the right path in these perilous times.“
From Crystal:
This client is navigating a divorce and taking sole custody of her two young children a significant life change that left her feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about her financial future. She came to me without a clear understanding of her expenses or what it would truly cost to raise her kids on her own. To complicate matters, she had randomly estimated a number for child support without a solid foundation to back it up.
In just one hour, we worked together to carefully examine her numbers and build a realistic budget that accounted for all her children’s needs. What we discovered was eye-opening: she needed twice the amount she had originally thought. Without this work, she would have been newly divorced, a single mom unable to pay her bills each month, and launched into debt. Instead, she now has the clarity and confidence to advocate for the financial support she truly needs to care for her family.
This wasn’t just a budgeting exercise it was a life-changing experience. That one hour prevented her from starting this new chapter in financial distress and gave her a plan to create stability and security for her family. She now has the tools and knowledge to move forward without the looming fear of financial shortfalls.
This is the power of financial coaching. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about transforming lives. By addressing her financial reality head-on, this client is stepping into her new life with strength and clarity, ensuring her children’s needs are met and avoiding the cycle of debt. These moments of transformation are why I do what I do to help people reclaim control over their financial futures and build lives of confidence, stability, and hope.
In Ms. Rigley’s class, students learn how investing $500 a month can add up to $2.4 million over 40 years. A new state bill could make personal finance a graduation requirement.
CA Superintendent Tony Thurmond toured my class and held a press conference with my students as an effort to make personal finance a required class to graduate in California.
Sisa-In Magazine in South Korea is advocating for financial literacy in their schools and wanted a first hand look at how personal finance is playing out in my classroom.
With your new money confidence, skills, and tools, you now have the ability to ignite your dreams and financially handle all of life’s ups and downs.
