Find your money balance between living for the week and living for the future!
MORE MONEY DOESN'T ALWAYS EQUAL HAPPINESS AND LESS STRESS
Does it sometimes feel like your finances are standing in the way of your happiness?
One minute you’re excited and proud that you got the loan or the mortgage or you’ve paid the deposit on a car or holiday with your family.
But it’s short-lived because the next minute your stressed out because the mortgage repayment is due and so is an unexpected bill (plus a bunch of other expenses).
Confidence is not normally a word that goes with spending.
In fact, 90 per cent of everyday people like you don’t feel confident about spending their (very) hard-earned money at all. They spend it – but they feel guilty about it.
And that guilt eats them up inside even though they have a new pair of shoes, or a hobby or even a well-earned holiday.
And it really shouldn’t be like that at all because you work hard to pay your bills, make sure your children have everything they need, especially a good education, and strive to get ahead.
This is something that many professional couples and their families have in common and that’s because they make one major mistake.
They don’t look at their finances and they don’t know the impact their spending this week will have on their household into the future.
So if they spend that extra $100, $200 or $500 on something they want or need they don’t know how that will affect them into the future when a big bill comes in for their children’s school or something unexpected happens with the car for example.
AND THAT’S STRESSFUL
But imagine what it would be like if you knew you could spend the $100, $200 or $500 and not be left scrimping to pay the bills or better still have money left over to have fun and dream…..
What would you dream about??
Have the confidence to look into your money future and chase after your dreams.
5 Simple Steps to spend confidently

How Spend planning can improve your life
Dreams can come with a price tag, but a spending plan can help you pay your bills on time and make your dreams affordable and achievable.

Empower you to take control of your financial independence and health
Live within your means and use your newfound power to chalk out a plan about where you wish to spend and how much.

Stay focused on your goals
Always dreamed of buying a house or a car or going on an overseas holiday? Well, now is your chance to make it happen!

Always know what is going on with your money
Gone are the days when you wonder where your money went. After spend planning, you will know exactly how much money is coming in and where it goes.

Communicate with your spouse about your money worries
Working on a plan together can prevent conflicts and misunderstandings. Instead, it is an opportunity for you to achieve your goals together.
Testimonials

– Mary!
Your program is the only thing that worked for me.
Eight months ago I owed $4200 on credit cards. I was at least one month behind on the Telstra bill and we never ever paid our rates on time. After your program, we have paid off our credit cards and we have just paid off the rates in full before the due date. Your program is the only thing that worked for me.

– Robert
This program will turn your financial state around.
I have struggled to pay off all my debts to the point I would max out a $25,000 credit card. I have done this three times. Your program showed where to find the money within my current wages to pay that debt off. This program will turn your financial state around.
