147 - From pain to power: Choose Sarcasm Interview

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 18:00:14 GMT

In this powerful episode, Taylor opens up about the journey behind her pakihi — why she started it, what drives her, and how she’s making an impact. She gets real about the challenges she’s faced and the unshakeable mindset that’s helped her rise above them. Her story isn’t just inspiring — it’s transformative. This kōrero moved me deeply, and I know it’ll move you too.

142 - How to be a better kaitiaki for your money in business 💰

Tue, 06 May 2025 18:00:11 GMT

In today's podcast episode I explain how to be a better kaitiaki for your money!

I love my money (gratitude)

I don’t discriminate the amount - I practise so much gratitude for every dollar that flows in to my account and every dollar that flows out

I take aligned action to make more money

Money amplifies who you are - with more money, you get to help more people!

I show up and do what’s required of me - I don’t avoid it

1% better every day, ahakoa te aha, millionaires move

I respect my money (things I do spend it on vs not spend it on)

I stopped wasting it on weed, vaping, takeaways, unnecessary kmart runs and started investing it in to mentors, my business, other investments that actually have returns on them

I trust money (focus on living my life)

I don’t sit there refreshing my emails hoping that a sale came through

I go out, I live my life and I trust that the automations, the systems I have in my business work when I’m out living my life & they do - because I'm a MAGNET 🧲

Build Your Personal Brand Like an Asset: How to Turn Attention Into Income

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:20:41 GMT

Everyone says “build your personal brand.”

But no one tells you this:

Your personal brand is not about aesthetics. It is a financial asset.

In this episode, I break down how attention turns into income, why clarity makes you money, and how consistency compounds just like investing. We talk about pricing power, trust as currency, and why your lived experience is not a weakness but positioning.

If you want more opportunities, higher paying clients, better partnerships, and long term wealth, you cannot afford to ignore your brand.

This is not about becoming an influencer. It is about building leverage.

If you are a founder, creative, aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who wants to earn more without burning out, this episode will change how you see personal branding forever.

Listen now and start treating your reputation like the asset it is.

Build a Money System That Works Without Willpower | 7 Day Money Reset Finale

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 17:40:00 GMT

Welcome to the final day of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we are talking about systems.

Because motivation fades. Inspiration fades. But systems compound.

If your financial progress depends on how you feel, it will always fluctuate.

In this episode we break down how to build a money system that works even when you are tired, busy, or not in the mood.

We cover:

• Why motivation is temporary but systems create stability

• How relying on willpower keeps you starting over

• Why wealthy people automate instead of “trying harder”

• Setting up automatic payments for savings and investments

• Making the right decision the default decision

• Designing accounts with intention

• Weekly money check ins and monthly net worth reviews

• Building infrastructure instead of chasing motivation

Your bank account should not rely on memory.

It should run like a machine.

A good system removes emotion from everyday money decisions.

It creates consistency. It reduces stress. It builds momentum quietly in the background.

You are not trying to “be better” with money.

You are building the infrastructure of someone who builds wealth.

Your action for today:

Before this week ends, set up one automatic payment that moves you forward.

One small system can change everything.

If you have completed all 7 days, share this episode and write “System secured.”

We are not relying on motivation anymore.

We are operating like leaders.

How to Build a Safety Net (Even If You’re Living Paycheck to Paycheck)

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:39:00 GMT

Welcome to Day 5 of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we are building stability.

A safety net is not about being rich. It is about having margin.

It is about not panicking when a bill comes in. Not relying on debt every time something unexpected happens. Not living in constant financial survival mode.

In this episode we talk about what a safety net really is and why it changes everything.

We cover:

• Why a safety net is peace, not just savings

• How stability improves your decision making

• Why survival mode keeps you stuck

• How to build your safety net in layers so it feels achievable

• Starting small without shame

• Using automatic payments to build consistency

• Why freedom requires margin

If you are living paycheck to paycheck, your first safety net might be small. That still counts.

Five hundred dollars can change your nervous system. One month of expenses can change your confidence. Three months can change your life.

A safety net allows you to leave unhealthy environments. To take opportunities. To say no when you need to.

It gives you options.

Your action for today:

Open a separate account for your safety net. Set up an automatic payment, even if it is small. Protect your future self.

We are not just growing money.

We are building security.

If you are doing the challenge, share this episode and write “Stability first.”

That is how wealth is built.

Insurance Explained Simply: What You Actually Need and Why It Matters

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Welcome to Day 6 of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we are talking about insurance.

Not because it is exciting. But because it is responsible.

You can increase your income. You can build savings. You can grow assets.

But if you do not protect what you are building, one unexpected event can wipe out years of progress.

In this episode, I break down the main types of insurance people should think about and what they are actually for.

We cover:

• Health insurance and when it makes sense

• Life insurance and who truly needs it

• Income protection and why your income is your biggest asset

• Car Insurance

• Home and contents insurance to protect what you have worked hard for

We talk about this in simple terms.

No jargon. No scare tactics. No pressure.

Just clarity.

Insurance is not about living in fear. It is about creating stability.

It is about making sure one hard season does not turn into long term financial stress.

Your action for today:

Look at what cover you currently have. Understand it. Ask questions. Close the gaps if needed.

Because wealth is not just about growth.

It is about protection.

If you are doing the challenge, share this episode and write “Protected and prepared.”

We are building strong foundations.

How to Increase Your Income Without Burning Out | 3 Practical Ways to Earn More

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 05:39:00 GMT

Welcome to Day 4 of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we are talking about increasing your income.

Not by grinding yourself into the ground. Not by starting five side hustles. Not by sacrificing your health.

But strategically.

In this short episode, I break down three powerful ways to increase your income without burning out:

Earn more from what you already do How to negotiate, position yourself better, and communicate your value so you are not underpaid or under recognised.
Add one aligned income stream Not ten. One. A scalable or skill based opportunity that builds on what you already know.
Increase your capacity to receive Because sometimes the block is not skill. It is identity. Guilt. Fear. Visibility. Outgrowing your environment.

We talk about survivor’s guilt. We talk about out earning your circle. We talk about becoming the version of you who can hold more.

Income growth is not just about strategy. It is about who you believe you are allowed to be.

Your action for today:

Choose one income expansion move this week. One conversation. One pitch. One application. One offer.

That is how momentum starts.

If you are doing the challenge, share this episode and write “I am expanding.”

We are not budgeting our way to freedom.

We are building capacity.

Let’s go.

Money Mindset 101: Rewrite Your Money Story & Break Limiting Beliefs | 7 Day Money Reset Day 3

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:52:00 GMT

Welcome to Day 3 of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we go deeper.

Because you do not rise above your money mindset. You earn in alignment with it.

If I said “You could make 1 million dollars this year” What comes up for you?

Excitement? Doubt? Judgement? A laugh?

That reaction is your money story speaking.

In this episode we unpack:

• How your childhood shaped your beliefs about money

• The conversations you grew up hearing about money

• Why “I work so hard but have nothing to show for it” becomes a financial identity

• Money attachment styles: anxious, avoidant and secure

• How limiting beliefs quietly cap your income

• How to rewrite old money beliefs in a practical way

• Askfirmations and quality questioning

• How to consciously create a new money story

We walk through questions like:

What is the old belief? Where did it come from? Why does it feel true? Why is it not true for your future? Who proves this belief wrong?

And when the old belief pops up, we don’t spiral.

We acknowledge it. Release it. Breathe. Affirm the new belief.

If she can do it, so can I.

We also talk about your energetic relationship with money.

Do you resent it? Fear it? Cling to it? Avoid looking at it?

Or do you respect it? Trust it? Treat it well?

Because where attention goes, energy flows.

This episode is not about toxic positivity. It is about conscious rewiring.

Your action for today:

Write your old money story. Then write your new one. Decide who you are becoming.

Because income follows identity.

If you are doing the challenge, share this episode and write “New money story loading.”

We are not just changing numbers.

We are changing narratives.

How to Calculate Your Net Worth (Even If You’re in Debt) | 7 Day Money Reset Day 2

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:52:00 GMT

Welcome to Day 2 of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we stop guessing.

We calculate your net worth.

And before you panic Yes, even if you have debt. Especially if you have debt.

Your net worth is not a measure of your value as a person. It is a financial snapshot. That’s it.

In this episode we walk through:

• What net worth actually means in simple terms

• How to calculate your net worth step by step

• Why avoiding this number keeps you stuck

• Why wealthy people track this consistently

• How to track your net worth over time so you can see real progress

If you’ve been living in “vibes” instead of numbers, this is your reset moment.

Because you cannot grow what you refuse to measure.

This is not about judgement. This is about clarity.

Your action for today:

DOWNLOAD THE NETWORTH TRACKER

List your assets.

List your debts.

Subtract the two.

That number is your starting point.

And starting is powerful.

If you’re doing the challenge, share this episode and write “Day 2 complete. I know my number.”

We’re building financial confidence through facts, not fear.

Let’s keep going.

How to Track Your Spending Without Feeling Shame | Money Diary Reset

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:52:00 GMT

Welcome to Day 1 of the 7 Day Money Reset.

Today we’re not budgeting. We’re not cutting. We’re not judging.

We’re observing.

Most people say they want to be better with money but they don’t actually know where their money is going. And when they do look, shame creeps in.

This episode is about removing the shame and building awareness instead.

Because you cannot change what you refuse to look at.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why tracking your spending is not about restriction

• How avoidance keeps you stuck financially

• The difference between awareness and self punishment

• How to complete a 24 hour money diary in a way that feels safe

• Why financial clarity is power

If you grew up with financial stress, chaos, scarcity or secrecy, tracking can feel activating. That’s normal. We talk about that too.

This is about becoming the CEO of your money. And CEOs look at the numbers.

Your action for today:

Track every dollar that leaves your account for the next 24 hours. No editing. No justifying. No spiralling.

What To Do On The Days You Have Zero Motivation

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 19:07:00 GMT

Some days you wake up focused.

Disciplined.

Clear.

And some days… you don’t.

No motivation.

No drive.

Just tired. Flat. Over it.

In this episode, I’m talking about what to do on the days you don’t feel inspired to transform your life.

Because the truth is

motivation is unreliable.

And if you only take action when you feel like it, you’ll build a life that moves in emotional swings instead of steady progress.

I share:

• Why lack of motivation doesn’t mean you’re lazy

• The difference between burnout and avoidance

• How to keep promises to yourself when you feel flat

• Why discipline is an act of self respect, not punishment

• Practical ways to lower the bar without abandoning your goals

• The identity shift that makes consistency easier

This is not a hustle harder episode.

It’s a grounded kōrero about personal responsibility, nervous system regulation, and doing the next right thing even when you don’t feel like it.

Because you are not the cost of living.

You are not the economy.

You are not your mood.

You are the CEO of your habits.

If you’ve been waiting to “feel motivated” before taking action, this one is for you.

Listen now and reset your standard.

Aligned Friendships and Money: How Your Circle Impacts Your Financial Growth

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 19:22:00 GMT

Your bank account is not just a reflection of your work ethic.

It is a reflection of your environment.

In this episode, I’m talking about aligned friendships and how the people around you can either accelerate your financial growth or quietly keep you stuck.

We’re unpacking:

• How your social circle influences your money habits

• The difference between supportive friends and insecure energy

• Why shared values matter more than shared income

• How to recognise when you’ve outgrown certain rooms

• The role of accountability in transforming your life

• How to build friendships that support long term wealth and personal development

This is not about cutting everyone off.

It is about awareness.

Because if you’re trying to change your life, get out of debt, build a pakihi, grow your income, or simply think bigger, you cannot stay in environments that reward playing small.

Your proximity matters.

Your conversations matter.

Your standards matter.

If you’ve ever felt tension as you grow, this kōrero is for you.

Listen now and reflect on who is influencing your financial mindset.

From “Failing” to 100K Downloads: What a Struggling Podcast Taught Me About Success

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 17:46:00 GMT

I almost quit this podcast.

When I first launched Māori Millionaire, I wasn’t getting the traction, engagement or impact I thought I “should” be getting. The downloads felt slow. The growth felt average. And I started taking it personally.

I made the numbers mean something about me.

That I wasn’t interesting enough.

That I wasn’t impactful enough.

That maybe I just wasn’t good enough.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned from what I once labelled a “failing podcast” and how that mindset nearly sabotaged something that has now reached 100,000 downloads.

We talk about:

• Why you need to stop taking business results personally

• The dangerous link between self worth and performance

• How to study successful people instead of envying them

• A practical exercise to identify the habits of the 5 wealthiest people you know

• Why copying high performing habits is smarter than copying aesthetics

• How to detach your identity from outcomes

This episode is for you if you’re building something and quietly wondering if it’s working.

Sometimes it’s not a failure.

It’s just data.

And sometimes the breakthrough comes when you stop making it about you.

If you’re on a journey of entrepreneurship, financial growth, mindset work or personal development, this kōrero will shift how you see slow seasons forever.

Why Rich People Master Delayed Gratification (And How You Can Too)

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 18:21:00 GMT

We live in a world that profits off your impulsivity.

One click buy. Afterpay. Fast fashion. Uber Eats. Doom scrolling at 1am.

And then we wonder why we feel broke, tired and behind.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real power of delayed gratification. Not from a grind harder angle. Not from a just be more disciplined angle.

But from a nervous system angle.

Because if you grew up in chaos, boredom can feel unsafe. If money used to disappear, spending can feel like survival. If you were taught nothing about emotional regulation, shopping can become your coping strategy.

Delayed gratification is not about restriction. It is about reclaiming control.

We talk about:

• Why impulsivity is profitable for corporations • How trauma and scarcity impact spending • The link between dopamine and money habits • Practical ways to build self trust with your finances • How automatic payments protect your future self • Why wealthy people are not more motivated, just more systemised

This episode is about choosing long term peace over short term relief.

Because you are not the cost of living. You are the CEO of your habits.

If you want stability, confidence and real transformation, this kōrero is for you.

EPISODE ABOUT CHAOS

How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Stop Feeling “Not Enough”

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 22:29:02 GMT

Imposter syndrome isn’t about your skills. It’s about whether you believe you’re inherently valuable.

In this episode, I unpack how my imposter syndrome came from scarcity, comparison, and a deep “not enough” wound. I share how I used to pedestal people, overreact to opportunities, and feel lucky just to be in the room. And how that energy quietly kept me small.

We talk about what actually shifted.

Healing scarcity. Normalising success. Stopping the fan girl energy. Realising no one is above you.

And the part most people skip: action.

Because if you don’t post the video, pitch the idea, or share the journey, you’re outsourcing your power to imposter syndrome.

This is a grounded kōrero about identity, self worth, and expanding into rooms that once felt too big for you.

If you’ve ever known you were capable but still felt “not enough,” this one’s for you.

The Pink Tax Explained: How Gendered Pricing and Unpaid Labour Cost Women Billions

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:32:00 GMT

The pink tax isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s a pattern.

From razors and deodorant costing more just because they’re pink, to the unspoken expectation that women must spend more to be seen as “presentable” — being a woman in this economy comes with a price tag.

But it doesn’t stop at retail.

Wāhine Māori contribute billions to Aotearoa’s economy. When unpaid mahi like caregiving, whānau support and community leadership is included, that contribution nearly doubles. Yet much of that labour remains invisible in traditional economic measures.

So we’re earning less on average. Spending more in certain categories. And giving unpaid time that keeps entire systems running.

That compounds.

In this episode, I break down:

• What the pink tax actually is

• The data behind gendered pricing

• How unpaid labour skews economic reality

• Why marketing thrives on insecurity

• And how we move strategically instead of emotionally

GRAB A COPY OF THE MAORI MILLIONAIRE BOOK.

This isn’t about victimhood.

It’s about critical thinking.

Because once you can see the pattern, you can move differently.

We name the system. But we build anyway.

The Best Money & Wealth Books You Need to Read in 2026

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 17:19:00 GMT

What are the best money books to read if you actually want to build wealth?

In this episode of the Māori Millionaire Podcast, I share the top 10 money and mindset books that completely changed the way I think about wealth, investing, financial independence, and personal growth.

From classics like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and The Millionaire Next Door to powerful mindset books like The Power of Now and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*, I break down what each book taught me and how it shaped my financial journey.

I also talk about why trauma informed financial literacy matters, and why my book Māori Millionaire exists for those who don’t see themselves reflected in mainstream money advice

We cover:

• The difference between assets and liabilities • Why behaviour matters more than income • How mindset shapes your bank account • The power of long term investing and discipline • Why emotional regulation is key to building wealth • How to align money with purpose and tino rangatiratanga

If you’re serious about improving your financial literacy, building generational wealth, and shifting from scarcity to ownership, this episode will give you a powerful reading list to start with.

Because before you change your bank account, you have to change your thinking.

The Government Cannot Give You Tino Rangatiratanga

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 18:09:00 GMT

What does tino rangatiratanga actually look like in real life?

Not in Parliament. Not at Waitangi. Not just in protest.

In this episode of the Māori Millionaire Podcast, I unpack how sovereignty is not something the government grants. It is something we practise daily.

We talk about:

• How to practise tino rangatiratanga tō reo in your home

• What tino rangatiratanga tō hauora looks like beyond policy

• Why economic sovereignty and financial literacy matter for Māori

• The difference between protest and personal power

• Tangible steps you can take today to reduce dependency and build strength for your whānau

As we approach 200 years since Te Tiriti o Waitangi, this episode challenges us to move beyond outrage and into disciplined action.

Because sovereignty is not a slogan.

It is behaviour.

If you care about Māori economic development, financial literacy, hauora, and building generational wealth while staying grounded in your Māoritanga, this kōrero is for you.

Share with someone who is ready to practise tino rangatiratanga, not just talk about it.

Valentines Special: Love Is Beautiful. Financial Dependency Is Not.

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This Valentine’s Special is your reminder that a man is not a financial plan.

In this episode of the Māori Millionaire Podcast, we talk about financial independence in relationships, how to protect yourself financially, and why loving yourself more than you love the relationship changes everything.

This is not anti men. It is pro sovereignty.

We unpack:

• Why financial dependency creates vulnerability

• How to protect yourself financially in a relationship

• The importance of having your own income and emergency fund

• Red flags to watch for around money and gambling

• How trauma and chaos patterns show up in relationships

• Why financial stability is attractive and empowering

Not your survival strategy.

What I Learned Staying at an Ex Prime Minister’s House: Mindset, Boundaries, Manaakitanga and How Powerful People Think

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:46:00 GMT

I recently stayed at the home of a former Prime Minister and instead of being impressed by status or wealth, I walked away with some of the most grounding lessons about mindset, health, leadership, and how powerful people actually move through the world.

In this episode, I unpack what I observed behind closed doors.

How critical thinking shows up in everyday decisions Why there was zero scarcity mindset, even when talking about negative experiences

What it looks like to respond to a situation by fundraising $5 million for charity instead of spiralling

How health was treated as non negotiable, not an afterthought

Manaakitanga in action, not as a buzzword but as a daily practice

Why saying “I’m not the person to ask that” is a sign of strength, not weakness

How everything was analysed logically rather than emotionally

The systems they used to reduce mental load, from events to home routines

And why clear boundaries are a form of self respect, not arrogance

This kōrero isn’t about politics. It’s about how people who carry responsibility, power, and pressure think, act, and protect their energy.

If you’re interested in leadership, wealth mindset, critical thinking, and building a life that’s calm instead of chaotic, this episode is for you.

Listen now and let this challenge how you think about success, power, and what actually matters.

Why Discipline Is a Terrible Money Strategy

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:02:00 GMT

Being good with money shouldn’t feel hard, stressful, or like a constant test of discipline.

In this episode, I break down how I made managing money ridiculously easy by designing simple systems that work with human behaviour, not against it. Instead of relying on motivation or willpower, this kōrero focuses on removing decisions, automating the boring stuff, and setting up money so the right choices happen by default.

We talk about why discipline eventually fails, how automatic payments change everything, and why simplifying your accounts leads to better financial clarity. I also share how making bad decisions harder and good decisions easier transformed my spending habits, without restrictive budgeting or guilt.

This episode covers

• making money management simple

• why discipline doesn’t work long term

• automatic payments and systems

• reducing decision fatigue with money

• spending without guilt

• nervous system regulation and money

• building sustainable financial habits

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad with money”, this episode will show you how to design systems that make being good with money the easiest option.

What I Wish I Knew About Money Before My 20s

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 18:02:00 GMT

If I could restart my financial journey, there are a few things I would do very differently.

In this episode, I share the honest lessons I’ve learned about money, timing, and self awareness. From investing early when I had no bills, to questioning whether university was the right choice, to understanding the true cost of chasing success without tending to mental health first.

This kōrero explores why income alone doesn’t fix money problems, how opportunity cost shapes long term outcomes, and why healing, nervous system regulation, and self awareness matter just as much as financial strategy. I also reflect on the impact of relationships, reputation, and how treating people well compounds over time.

This episode covers • investing early and compound growth • opportunity cost and university decisions • mental health and money • nervous system regulation and financial behaviour • triggers, blind spots, and self awareness • relationships, reputation, and long term wealth

If you’re early in your money journey or reflecting on your own, this episode offers perspective, honesty, and lessons learned without sugar coating.

Raising Money Confident Kids: Teaching Financial Skills Without Stress

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 18:02:00 GMT

Teaching kids about money starts long before budgets, bank accounts, or earning a paycheck.

In this episode, we explore how children form money beliefs early in life and why emotional experiences around money matter more than financial rules. Many of us grew up learning about money through stress, silence, or shame. Without realising it, those same patterns can be passed down to our tamariki.

This kōrero unpacks how to teach kids about money in a way that builds safety, confidence, and agency, rather than fear or scarcity. We talk about why kids learn money emotionally first, how parental stress shapes money beliefs, and how everyday conversations can create healthier financial foundations.

You’ll learn practical, age appropriate ways to talk about money with children, how to separate money from self worth, and why letting kids make small financial mistakes builds long term confidence. We also discuss saving without fear, modelling calm money behaviour, and how parents can work through their own money wounds to avoid passing them on.

This episode covers • how children develop money beliefs • teaching kids about money without shame • money and emotional regulation • raising financially confident children • healthy money conversations for families • breaking generational money patterns • practical money lessons for kids

If you want to raise kids who feel safe, capable, and confident with money, this episode is a must listen.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:06:34 GMT

If you’ve ever felt calm when life is messy and uneasy when things are finally going well, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we unpack addiction to chaos, one of the most destructive and overlooked patterns shaping our relationships, mental health, and money habits.

Growing up in survival mode wires your nervous system to associate stress with safety. That wiring doesn’t disappear when you start earning more money. It shows up as overspending, retail therapy, self sabotage, chaotic relationships, weed or food as coping mechanisms, and constantly feeling behind financially even when opportunities are there.

This kōrero explores the science behind survival mode, trauma, and nervous system regulation, and how they directly impact your ability to save, plan, and build long term wealth. We talk about why calm can feel uncomfortable, why stability requires responsibility, and why your bank account often reflects how safe you feel in your body.

You’ll hear personal examples of how addiction to chaos played out in my own life, from blowing bonuses to avoiding boundaries, and the evidence based shifts that helped me move from reaction to intention.

This episode covers

• addiction to chaos and survival mode

• trauma and nervous system wiring

• why overspending and retail therapy aren’t self control issues

• how chaotic relationships impact financial decision making

• money mindset vs nervous system regulation

• taking responsibility without denying systemic realities

• practical steps to move from survival to stability

If you want to stop repeating the same financial patterns and start building money from a place of calm, safety, and agency, this episode is a must listen.

Building a Personal Brand That Makes Money

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 17:26:00 GMT

Personal branding is not about being loud, viral, or turning yourself into a product.

It is about trust.

In this episode, I break down what a personal brand actually is why you do not need to be an expert to build one and how people turn personal brands into real income without being fake or exhausting.

We talk about how personal brands make money through opportunities, not followers what to share if you want your content to convert and how to stay consistent without burning out

This episode is for anyone who wants to make money from their knowledge, experience, or perspective while staying grounded, honest, and aligned.

If you have ever thought “I want to build something, but I don’t want to sell my soul to the internet” this episode is for you.

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 17:41:00 GMT

In this episode, I break down how people really make money from podcasts and why most shows never earn a dollar.

We talk about what you actually need to start a podcast why your podcast is not the product but the relationship how small podcasts can monetise without huge download numbers and the biggest mistakes that stop podcasters from earning anything

This episode is for anyone who wants to start a podcast to support a business, kaupapa, or long term vision without selling out, burning out, or waiting for viral success.

Te Tiriti, Personal Responsibility, and Taking Back Control of Your Life

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This episode is about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and personal responsibility. And no, those two things are not in conflict.

In this kōrero, I unpack what Te Tiriti was actually meant to represent partnership, protection, participation and why waiting for the government to fix everything has never been our survival strategy.

We talk honestly about systemic disadvantage and colonisation why broken systems are real but waiting is costly and how taking responsibility for your life is not a betrayal of Te Tiriti or your people

This is not hustle culture. This is not victim blaming. This is about agency.

Because you can fight for justice and still build stability. You can hold the system accountable and still learn how money, choices, and power work in your own life.

If you have ever felt stuck between anger at the system and wanting more for yourself this episode is for you.

My $40,000 mistake - learn from me so you don't have to do this too

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 16:42:00 GMT

This episode is uncomfortable to record. But it is important.

Over the past couple of years, I made a $40k mistake.

Not because I am bad with money. Not because I did not know better. But because I pedestalised money, mentors, and advice that did not actually align with who I am.

In this kōrero, I talk openly about mentorship mistakes putting people on pedestals because they are wealthy or successful listening to advice that made me shrink instead of expand and what happens when you stop being authentic in the hope that someone else has the answers

This is not an anti-mentor episode. Mentors matter.

But they are not here to solve your problems for you.

I share the biggest lessons this mistake taught me why you need discernment, not just access how easily other people can project their fears, values, and limitations onto you and how to stay grounded in your own voice when the stakes feel high

If you have ever felt pressure to follow advice that did not sit right or believed that the right mentor would fix everything this episode is for you

Networking (Without Being Fake, Salesy, or Exhausting)

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:02:00 GMT

Networking has a bad reputation.

It makes people think of awkward small talk, forced conversations, and trying to impress people who feel out of reach.

This episode is not that.

In this kōrero, I break down what networking actually is building real relationships over time without pretending to be someone you are not and without burning yourself out

We talk about how to use LinkedIn in a way that feels human how to go to networking events without wanting to leave immediately and how some of the most powerful connections are made in everyday places like cafes, supermarkets, gyms, and school gates

This episode is especially for anyone who was not taught how to network comes from a working class or Indigenous background or has been told to just work hard and keep their head down

Because opportunities do not only come from effort they move through people

If networking has ever felt uncomfortable, intimidating, or “not for people like you” this episode is for you

If money feels heavy right now — this episode is for you.

This is a short, grounding pep talk for the days when you’re tired of thinking about money, tired of trying, and tired of feeling like you should be further along.

In this episode, I share 10 reminders I come back to when money stress is loud — not advice, not tactics, just perspective to help you get through the hard season.

We talk about:

Why struggling doesn’t mean you’ve failed
Why stability matters more than looking successful
Why slow progress still counts
Why rest is part of the plan
Why this season isn’t the end of your story

This isn’t hustle culture. It’s not “think positive and manifest”.

How I Saved a 6-Month Safety Net (And Why It Matters More Than You Think)

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMT

six-month safety net isn’t flashy — but it’s one of the most powerful things you can do for your money and your nervous system.

In this episode, I break down why a proper safety net matters more than investing early, how it reduces stress and increases options, and exactly how I built mine in a realistic, non-perfect way.

We cover:

What a safety net actually is (and what it’s not)
Why six months creates breathing room and choice
How a buffer protects you from debt, panic, and burnout
The step-by-step way I saved mine — slowly and honestly
Why safety changes how you make decisions, not just your bank balance
How to start even if you feel like you’re “too far behind”

This episode isn’t about discipline, deprivation, or hustling harder. It’s about stability, dignity, and giving yourself time when life happens.

If you’re living one bill away from stress — or constantly dipping into savings — this episode is for you.

Do Looks Affect Your Income? What the Research Actually Shows

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Do people who are seen as “more attractive” actually earn more money?

In this episode, we dig into the research behind appearance-based pay gaps — what the data says, how big the effect really is, and why it shows up in hiring, promotions, and income over time.

But we don’t stop at the numbers.

We unpack how ideas of “attractiveness” and “professionalism” are not neutral, and how they’re shaped by race, class, gender, and colonisation. We talk about the extra pressure Indigenous people often face to look and behave a certain way just to be taken seriously — and how judgment around appearance can quietly affect income, confidence, and opportunity.

In this episode we cover:

What the research says about attractiveness and earnings
How bias shows up in hiring, pay, and promotion
Why “professionalism” often reflects dominant cultural norms
How Māori and other Indigenous communities experience added scrutiny
Why this isn’t about self-worth — it’s about systems
How to think strategically about money and stability without erasing yourself

This isn’t about beauty tips or telling people to change how they look. It’s about understanding bias, naming the reality, and building financial options in a world that isn’t neutral.

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:51:00 GMT

If you had $1,000 to invest in Aotearoa, where could it actually go?

In this episode, we break down KiwiSaver as an investment — not just a savings account — and explain why it’s often the smartest, lowest-stress place to start for most people in New Zealand.

We cover:

How KiwiSaver actually invests your money
Why employer and government contributions are literally free money
How to think about risk tolerance and time horizons
Choosing the right fund for your real life (not your ideal one)
Common mistakes people make with KiwiSaver
Why boring, consistent investing usually wins

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:51:00 GMT

Need extra money — fast?

Before you start a side hustle, there’s a simpler option most people overlook: selling the stuff you already own.

In this episode, I break down exactly how to make money selling second-hand items — from clothes and tech to furniture and random household gear. I share what actually sells, where to sell it in Aotearoa, how to price things properly, and how to turn unused stuff into real cashflow.

This isn’t about hustle culture, flipping full-time, or becoming a reseller. It’s about stabilising your finances, building an emergency fund, and creating breathing room — without shame or gimmicks.

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Brand partnerships aren’t about being famous — they’re about trust, alignment, and influence.

In this episode, I break down how brand partnerships actually work for content creators, including what brands look for, why follower count matters less than you think, and how to position yourself for paid partnerships — even if you have a small audience.

We cover:

What a real brand partnership is (and what it isn’t)
Why most creators never get brand deals
The three things brands care about when choosing creators
How to position your content so brands approach you
How to pitch brands professionally (without sounding desperate)

How to Increase Your Income in 2026 (Without Burning Yourself Out)

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:58:00 GMT

If budgeting harder hasn’t changed your situation, this episode is for you.

In this kōrero, I break down realistic ways to increase your income in 2026 — starting with low-effort options that don’t require much time or skill, and moving all the way through to side hustles and starting a business.

We talk about income in layers, not hustle culture.

I share:

simple ways to increase income quickly (like selling things you don’t need)
how I saved my first $1,000 emergency fund by selling an iPad, handbags, and branded clothes
low-time options like having a boarder or monetising what you already have
skill-based income ideas that don’t require working more hours
when side hustles make sense — and when they don’t
why starting a business isn’t the goal, just one possible outcome

This episode is about matching income strategies to your real life, energy, and capacity — not doing more for the sake of it.

No “just work harder” advice. No overnight success stories. Just practical, grounded ways to earn more money without burning yourself out.

I’ve Tried Everything to Make Money. Here’s What Actually Worked (and Didn’t)

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:54:00 GMT

I’ve tried a lot of ways to make money.

As a kid, I sold second-hand pens. I did gardening, babysitting, and mowing lawns. I worked minimum-wage jobs, dropped out of school, went pine planting, and stacked jobs while broke at uni. I joined a pyramid scheme (without realising), lost money in forex, almost joined another one — and eventually became self-employed.

In this episode, I walk through every way I’ve tried to make money, in chronological order, and share the real lessons each stage taught me — about work, systems, leverage, risk, investing, and why effort alone doesn’t always lead to security.

We talk about:

what minimum-wage jobs actually teach you about money
why “work harder” advice often misses the point
how pyramid schemes and get-rich-quick ideas really hook people
why slow, boring investing mattered more than fast wins
how trying lots of things doesn’t mean you’re failing — it can mean you’re learning

This episode isn’t about flexing or hustle culture. It’s about learning money through lived experience, mistakes included.

Disclaimer: This episode is not financial advice, career advice, or therapy. I’m sharing my personal experiences and the lessons that worked for me. Always seek personalised advice for your own situation.

The Truth About Triggers, Money, and Being Māori: Why Being Triggered Around Money Is Trying to Teach You Something

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:39:00 GMT

Have you ever been triggered by someone online — especially around money, success, or confidence — and couldn’t quite explain why?

In this episode, I unpack what triggers actually are (from a psychology and nervous-system perspective) and why they show up so strongly around money and identity.

I share a personal story about being triggered by a Pākehā creator online, and how sitting with that discomfort helped me uncover a deeper belief I’d been carrying — that being Māori might mean success isn’t meant for people like me.

We talk about:

what triggers really signal (and why they’re not a personal failing)
how identity and inherited beliefs shape our money behaviours
why logic and budgeting alone don’t fix self-sabotage
how triggers can quietly influence earning, risk-taking, and confidence
practical, evidence-based ways to work with triggers instead of avoiding them

This episode isn’t about blaming yourself or “thinking positive.” It’s about understanding the deeper stories that shape how safe we feel with money — and gently rewriting the ones that no longer serve us.

Disclaimer: This episode is not financial advice and it’s not therapy. I’m sharing my lived experience and the tools that have worked for me. For your own situation, always seek personalised financial or mental health support.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about money, success, or visibility — especially within a Māori context — this kōrero is for you.

The Truth About Money No One Warns You About

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 17:53:00 GMT

We’re often told that more money will fix our stress, our habits, and our lives.

But what if money doesn’t change who you are — it exposes what was already there?

In this episode, I unpack why pay rises, bonuses, Lotto wins, and sudden wealth so often fail to create stability — and why money tends to amplify existing habits, values, and systems instead of fixing them.

We talk about:

Why earning more doesn’t automatically create financial peace
How money removes friction and reveals behaviour
Why some people feel calmer with less, while others feel stressed with more
The difference between income, wealth, and real stability
And why systems and self-awareness matter more before the money comes

This isn’t a mindset episode and it’s not about blame. It’s a grounded look at how money interacts with psychology, power, and identity.

If you’ve ever thought “once I earn more, things will settle” — this episode will help you understand what actually needs to change first.

The Invisible Cost Behind Your Everyday Choices (explaining opportunity cost)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:27:00 GMT

Every financial decision has a cost — even the ones that don’t feel expensive.

In this episode, we unpack opportunity cost — not as a boring economics concept, but as one of the most powerful forces shaping your money, time, energy, and future options.

We talk about:

Why every “yes” quietly comes with a “no”
How small, repeated choices cost more than big one-off decisions
Why opportunity cost hits harder when you have less margin
The hidden trade-offs behind looking successful or “keeping up”
And how opportunity cost affects not just money, but health, time, and wellbeing

This isn’t about guilt or restriction. It’s about clarity — seeing the full picture of what your choices are really buying, and what they quietly take away.

If money feels tight, life feels busy, or you’re wondering why progress feels slow even though you’re trying — this episode will help you see why.

The Wealthiest People You Know Probably Don’t Look Wealthy

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 18:27:00 GMT

We’re taught to think wealth looks like luxury cars, big houses, and designer everything.

But research shows that many genuinely wealthy people don’t look rich at all.

In this episode, I break down why real wealth is often invisible, drawing on insights from The Millionaire Next Door and decades of research into how everyday millionaires actually live.

We talk about:

Why many wealthy people drive modest cars and avoid flashy spending
The difference between income, lifestyle, and real net worth
Why net worth is often higher in areas with fewer “status houses”
How conspicuous consumption quietly destroys long-term wealth
And why looking rich and being rich are often opposite goals

This episode isn’t about deprivation or “being cheap.” It’s about understanding how wealth is really built — slowly, quietly, and often without anyone noticing.

If you’ve ever wondered why people who seem successful still feel financially stressed — or why some wealthy people fly completely under the radar — this episode will change how you see money, status, and success.

Why Investing Feels Hard (And What You Need Before You Start)

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 18:27:00 GMT

So many people feel behind because they’re “not investing yet.”

But what if the problem isn’t what you’re investing in — it’s whether you’re actually ready to invest at all?

In this episode, I break down what really matters before you invest, without stock tips, hype, or pretending to be a market expert.

We talk about:

Why investing doesn’t fix instability — it magnifies it
The difference between starting wealth and extending it
Why risk feels very different depending on your life context
What stability actually looks like before investing makes sense
And why KiwiSaver is the most realistic form of investing for most people in Aotearoa

This episode isn’t about picking the “right” investment. It’s about sequencing, safety, and building a money system that won’t collapse under pressure.

If investing feels stressful, confusing, or out of reach — this episode will help you understand why, and what to focus on instead.

Does Money Really Make You Happy? Rethinking Success

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:19:00 GMT

We’re told success looks like more money, higher status, and being constantly busy.

But does money actually make you happy — and if so, how much? And what does success look like when you stop chasing approval and start chasing wellbeing?

In this episode, I unpack what success really looks like to me, using research on money and happiness alongside lived experience.

We talk about:

Whether money actually increases happiness (and where it stops helping)
Why status and career progression often cost more than they give back
The difference between wealth, wellbeing, and visible success
Why time freedom, health, flexibility, and options matter more than prestige
And how Western ideas of “success” quietly reward burnout and exhaustion

This isn’t a motivational episode. It’s a critical look at the success narrative many of us were handed — and why opting out can be a rational, intelligent choice.

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but empty in real life — or behind because you don’t want what everyone else seems to want — this episode is for you.

Why “Unexpected Expenses” Keep Wiping You Out

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

If you have an emergency fund… but it’s always empty — this episode is for you.

In this kōrero, I break down why so many people keep dipping into their emergency savings, and why it’s not a discipline problem or a personal failure.

We talk about:

Why most “emergencies” are actually predictable life costs
The difference between irregular expenses and true emergencies
How one savings account is often doing too much heavy lifting
And how to redesign your money system so it works in real life — not just on paper

This episode is about replacing guilt with clarity, and building money systems that assume life will be messy.

If you’re doing your best and still feel like something always wipes you out financially, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

The Cost of Being Tired: Why Money Feels Hard Even When You’re Trying

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 18:42:00 GMT

Most money advice assumes you’re well-rested, calm, and thinking long-term.

But most people are tired.

In this episode, I talk about the money costs we rarely name — exhaustion, stress, and survival mode — and how they quietly show up in your bank account.

We cover:

Why tired people don’t make bad money decisions — just short-term ones
How decision fatigue leads to convenience spending, late fees, and money leaks
Why this hits people with less margin harder
And how to design money systems that work even when you’re exhausted

This isn’t about “trying harder” or being more disciplined. It’s about building financial systems that support real people living real lives.

If money feels hard right now, this episode might explain why — and help you be a little kinder to yourself.

Why “When I Win Lotto” Is Costing You More Than You Think (Evidence based critique)

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 18:31:00 GMT

Most people don’t buy Lotto tickets because they’re bad with money. They buy them because life is expensive — and hope feels good.

In this episode, I break down why Lotto won’t make you rich, even if you “only play small” or think you’re playing smart.

Using New Zealand data, we talk about:

How much Kiwis actually spend on Lotto each year
How much money really goes back to the community
Why the odds are far worse than most people realise
The psychology behind why Lotto feels like a way out
And why many people who do win still end up financially stuck or broke

This isn’t a judgement episode. It’s an honest kōrero about hope vs systems, and why relying on luck can quietly delay real financial stability.

If Lotto is entertainment for you — cool. But if it’s your backup plan, your escape plan, or your only plan… we need to talk.

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever said “when I win Lotto” and wondered why getting ahead still feels so hard.

Your Health Is Costing You Money (Science-Backed Explanation)

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 19:14:00 GMT

We often talk about money as if it exists in isolation — but science shows your health and fitness play a huge role in how much you earn, how you spend, and how stable your finances feel.

In this episode, I break down the science-backed connection between health and money, including:

Why healthier (and often more “attractive”) people tend to earn more
How energy levels directly impact earning capacity and productivity
The role dopamine plays in motivation, impulse spending, and financial decisions
Why poor health quietly costs you time, money, and opportunities
How fitness supports better focus, consistency, and long-term financial stability

This isn’t about hustle culture, body shaming, or turning yourself into a productivity machine.

It’s about understanding how your body supports — or limits — your ability to earn, decide, and show up financially.

If you’ve been trying to “fix your money” while running on empty, this episode is for you.

How to get out of debt Part 2

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This episode is part two of a longer kōrero about debt — not the tidy version, but the real one.

In part one, we talked about survival, pressure, and why debt isn’t a personal failure in a cost-of-living crisis.

In this episode, we talk about what comes next — gently.

Not how to fix everything. Not how to become debt-free overnight. But how people actually move forward when life is still hard.

We cover: • why progress usually starts small and slow • how to choose where to focus when everything feels heavy • why consistency matters more than big repayments • how to protect progress when emergencies keep happening • and why shame makes debt harder to carry

This episode is for people who are doing their best — working, parenting, surviving — and still feel like the numbers don’t work.

How to get out of debt if you literally have $0 wiggle room PART 1

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 18:27:00 GMT

Debt gets talked about like it’s a personal failure.

Like if you were just more disciplined, more organised, better with money — it wouldn’t exist.

That’s not the reality for a lot of people.

In this episode, I talk about debt from a real-life perspective — for people working one or two jobs, raising kids, living on the benefit, and still barely getting by.

We talk about: • why debt is often about pressure, not spending • why “just budget better” advice misses the point • what actually helps when there’s no spare money • how to think about stability before repayment • and why this isn’t your fault

This isn’t a step-by-step plan to become debt-free overnight.

It’s a calmer, more honest conversation about money, survival, and navigating a system that makes things harder for a lot of whānau — especially Māori.

Why Some Families Get Rich and Others Don’t (And It’s Not Work Ethic)

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

If hard work alone made people wealthy, a lot more families would already be rich.

In this episode, we unpack why some families build wealth across generations while others stay stuck — and why the difference isn’t about laziness, motivation, or effort.

We explore:

Why work ethic is only a small part of the wealth equation
How money conversations (or the absence of them) shape outcomes
The role of exposure, systems, and long-term thinking
How beliefs about risk, safety, and money get passed down
What it means to interrupt intergenerational financial patterns

This episode is for anyone who’s ever worked hard but still felt behind — and for those who want to change the financial story for themselves and their whānau.

Rural vs City Living in NZ — Which is Better for Your Finances?

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Does living in a small town actually save you money, or is city life better for building wealth? In this episode, we break down the financial pros and cons of rural and urban living in New Zealand — using real numbers and evidence.

We explore:

Housing costs: why rural homes can be hundreds of thousands cheaper than in major cities
Income potential: city salaries and job opportunities vs rural wage realities
Transport and living expenses: cars, fuel, and public transit
Lifestyle trade-offs: events, services, and access to amenities

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Are rich people greedy? (Evidence Based Answer)

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

“Rich people are greedy” is a belief many of us have heard — or held — at some point. But what if this assumption is quietly stopping you from building financial comfort of your own?

In this episode, we unpack where this belief comes from, why it’s an understandable response to real inequality, and why turning it into a blanket identity does more harm than good. We explore how money amplifies behaviour rather than creating it, why not all wealthy people are greedy, and how this belief can unconsciously block your ability to earn, save, invest, and grow wealth in alignment with your values.

This episode is for anyone who wants financial stability, freedom, or wealth — without losing their integrity.

Why moving to Aus for a higher paying job might not change anything

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

For many people, moving to Australia feels like the financial solution — higher wages, more opportunities, and the promise of an easier life.

But earning more doesn’t automatically create financial comfort.

In this episode, we unpack why increasing your income won’t help if your spending habits stay the same, how lifestyle inflation quietly erodes pay rises, and why real financial progress comes from systems, boundaries, and intentional investing — not geography.

This is a must-listen if you’re:

Considering a move to Australia for better pay
Earning more but still feeling stressed about money
Stuck in the cycle of lifestyle creep
Ready to build real, long-term financial comfort

This Is What Progress With Money Actually Looks Like

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:14:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about what progress really looks like, why it’s okay if it feels small, and how to stay motivated even when it feels slow. Perfect for anyone who’s tired of feeling “behind” and wants to start thriving financially in a practical, sustainable way.

What Thriving Financially Will Require of You This Year

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Thriving financially isn’t about earning more and hoping for the best. It’s about the habits you build, the boundaries you set, and the identity you choose to step into.

In this episode, we explore what thriving with money will actually require of you this year — beyond budgets, hustle, or perfection. We talk about honesty, responsibility without shame, patience, and the quiet systems that create real financial comfort over time.

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 17:47:00 GMT

Have you ever built up an emergency fund… only to slowly spend it on things that definitely weren’t emergencies?

You’re not alone — and you’re not bad with money.

In this episode, we talk about why emergency funds keep getting raided, how to clearly define what an “emergency” actually is, and the simple systems that help protect your savings without relying on willpower. We also unpack the emotional side of spending, why “life happens” costs need their own fund, and how to rebuild your emergency savings without guilt.

How to set goals this new year you'll actually achieve

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 18:08:00 GMT

This year, what if your goals weren’t just about money, productivity, or habits — but about your whole wellbeing?

In this episode, I share how I use Te Whare Tapa Whā — the Māori model of wellbeing — to set goals across four key areas: physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing. You’ll learn how to strengthen each “wall” of your whare so your goals are balanced, sustainable, and aligned with who you truly want to be.

Whether you’re setting personal, professional, or financial goals, this framework helps you approach the new year with clarity, purpose, and balance.

The Money Lessons School Never Taught Us (Rich Dad Poor Dad Reflections)

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 22:44:23 GMT

What if the reason so many people work hard but still feel stuck isn’t effort — it’s education?

In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways from Rich Dad Poor Dad and how they’ve shaped the way I think about money, work, and wealth. We unpack why broke is temporary but poor is a mindset, why your job is not your business, and why it’s not how much you earn — it’s how much you keep and invest.

We talk about the difference between assets and liabilities, why savings alone won’t build freedom, and why working to learn — not just to earn — matters more than most people realise.

This episode isn’t about getting rich quick. It’s about taking responsibility for your financial education and learning to make money work for you.

If this conversation challenges you, that’s the point.

Listen to this if you want to create a money plan without sacrificing fun

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 19:00:32 GMT

In today's episode I shared the strategy I use to create a money plan whilst being able to live a balanced life, one that I still enjoy but I also focus on growing and building the life that I want.

To summarise, this is the strategy I use:

Identify where your putea is coming from - how much, what frequency
Identify where your putea is going to - how much, what frequency
Decide on smaller more regular amounts you can put aside for bigger or annual costs
List all expenses on one page to have a good Birds Eye view
If there is any money remaining, decide on where this will go (align this with your values and goals). Or, if you are wanting extra money, start focusing on how you can increase your income.
