Common Money Problems We Help With
After working with hundreds of people, we've noticed the same issues keep coming up. Here's what we see most often and how we actually address them.
Can't Stick to a Budget
You try tracking expenses, but after two weeks everything falls apart. The spreadsheet gets ignored. The app stops getting updated.
We help you find a tracking method that fits your actual habits. Some people need daily check-ins. Others do better with weekly reviews. The key is matching the system to how you think.
Emergency Fund Feels Impossible
Everyone says save three months of expenses. But when rent takes half your pay and bills take the rest, where does that money come from?
We break it into tiny steps. Maybe start with saving for one unexpected car repair. Then build from there. Small wins create momentum.
Debt Keeps Growing
Credit cards, personal loans, buy now pay later accounts. The minimum payments add up fast and the balances barely move.
We look at interest rates and payment schedules to find which debt costs you most. Then create a realistic payoff sequence that doesn't require eating instant noodles for a year.
Retirement Seems Too Far Away
Superannuation statements make no sense. The balance looks small. Contributing more means less money now when you need it.
We explain compound growth in plain language and show you what small increases might mean decades later. Sometimes seeing the numbers makes it click.
How Our Program Actually Works
Understand Where You Are
We start by mapping out your current financial picture. Income, expenses, debts, assets. No judgment, just facts. This takes about two sessions because rushing through it means missing important details.
Identify What Needs Fixing First
Not everything needs attention at once. High-interest debt? That's urgent. Investing in shares? Can probably wait. We help prioritize based on what will make the biggest difference soonest.
Build Systems That Fit Your Life
Generic advice doesn't work. If you hate spreadsheets, we won't force spreadsheets on you. If you're bad at remembering monthly tasks, we'll find automatic solutions. The goal is sustainable habits.
Adjust as Life Changes
New job, new baby, unexpected medical costs. Your plan needs to flex when circumstances shift. We check in regularly to make sure things still make sense.
What Our Workshops Cover
We run regular sessions on specific topics. Each one focuses on practical skills you can use immediately. Next round of workshops starts September 2025.
Smart Budgeting Basics
Learn different budgeting methods and figure out which one suits your personality. We cover envelope systems, zero-based budgets, and percentage-based approaches. You'll leave with a working budget template customized for your situation.
Debt Reduction Strategies
Understand how interest compounds against you and which debts to tackle first. We explain debt avalanche versus debt snowball methods and help you calculate which approach saves more money in your specific case.
Superannuation Essentials
Demystify your super statements and understand what all those fees mean. Learn about contribution types, tax advantages, and when changing funds might make sense. We break down the rules in language that actually makes sense.
