KJ Buckingham

From the moment you meet KJ Buckingham, you can feel her energy, this magnetic mix of confidence, discipline, and joy. She’s the kind of person who’s not just talking about living the dream; she’s actually doing it. And most importantly, on her own terms.

‍

But don’t mistake this for luck. KJ’s success isn’t the result of a lucky break or a secret shortcut. It’s the result of consistency, intentionality, and hard work. Decision by decision, she has built the life she once dreamed of, turning vision into reality through relentless action.

‍

For KJ, it has never been just about making money. It’s about freedom, confidence, and impact. It’s about designing a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside.

‍

And the best part? She’s helping other women do the same.

‍

The Power of taking that first step

KJ’s real estate journey started back in 2012; long before buzzwords like “house hacking” and “co-living” were mainstream. She recognized early on the potential in long-term rentals, steadily acquiring properties in Colorado. Over time, she transitioned from house hacking into 12-month leases, building a strong and sustainable portfolio that would ultimately give her the financial foundation to design a life aligned with her values and passions.

‍

But her story isn’t just about real estate, it’s about choices. She’s navigated life as a realtor, balanced W2 jobs with investments, and made financial security work in harmony with adventure. She’s proof that you don’t have to “burn the boats” to build a thriving investment career. You don’t have to follow someone else’s version of success.

‍

Her ability to balance stability with risk has become her superpower. She’s built a business and a life, one that includes traveling the world, competing in semi-professional beach volleyball, and, most importantly, empowering other women to take control of their finances.

‍

The Mission: Helping Women Take Control of Their Finances

KJ was fortunate, she started early, armed with a finance degree and the confidence to take action. But as she built her wealth, she kept noticing the same problem:

‍

Too many women feel overwhelmed by money.

‍

Whether it was high-earning professionals with no financial plan or women afraid to invest because they didn’t know where to start, the pattern was clear. And KJ knew she could help.

‍

That’s why she launched her financial coaching program, Aligned Progress, where she teaches women how to align their finances with their personal goals and lifestyle while gaining confidence and building a real, sustainable wealth plan; one that doesn’t require handing over a percentage of their net worth to financial advisors.

‍

“Most people can manage their own finances effectively if they just have a simple, structured plan. I want to give women the tools to feel confident in their money decisions.”

‍

Her approach is practical, straightforward, and built for real life. She helps women set up accounts, invest wisely, incorporate real estate, and create an extraordinary life through financial empowerment.

‍

Because financial freedom isn’t just about making money. It’s about knowing what to do with it in alignment with your core values and philosophy. 

‍

The mindset Shift that changed everything

For all her success, KJ’s biggest breakthrough didn’t come from a financial strategy, it came from a mindset shift.

‍

Early on, she was a perfectionist, always trying to optimize every decision down to the last decimal point. But eventually, she realized something that changed everything:

‍

“Not every decision needs to be perfect. Taking action on a solid plan is better than waiting for a flawless one.”

‍

That shift, from waiting to executing was a game-changer. Instead of getting stuck in analysis paralysis, she took action. She built wealth. And, in the process, she let go of the mental burden of trying to make every single choice perfect.

‍

It’s a lesson she now shares with other women:

‍

Get to 85-90% confidence - then take the leap. The real learning happens when you take action.

‍

Today, KJ strongly embodies the definition of financial freedom.

She’s still investing in real estate.
She’s growing her coaching business.
She’s traveling the world and playing competitive beach volleyball while being fully in control of her time. 

‍

As she said - “Consistent hard work creates a dream lifestyle.”

‍

KJ is one of the top members of The Club, and for her, the value is clear:

‍

“It’s one of the best value offerings out there. The fee structure is amazing for the level of support and insight you get. But more importantly, it’s full of genuine people who actually want to help each other succeed.”

‍

Her next big focus is expanding her coaching program, helping more women gain confidence in their finances, take control of their wealth, and design a life that actually makes them happy.

‍

Beyond that? She’s keeping her options open, following her intuition, and staying committed to living in alignment with what truly matters to her.

‍

Because that is real wealth.

‍

KJ Buckingham isn’t just an investor. 

She’s a leader.
She’s an empowered woman.

She embodies what The Club is all about: building a solid financial floor, playing to your fullest potential, and defining success on your own terms.

And she’s just getting started.
