Want a quiz to help you understand just how financially fabulous, financially OK, or even possibly...

how financially f*cked you really are?!

Dealing with your finances can feel a little like trying to squeeze a long couch up a windy stairwell. Some of you can look at it and instantly know what to do. While some of you are yelling ‘pivot’ and nothing is moving.

(Sound Familiar?)

The problem with your finances is...

unlike a couch where you can see instantly just how stuck you are, many of us don’t know if we’re doing ok financially or not. Sure, we might kind of suspect, but...

wouldn’t it be helpful if you could take a simple quiz to help you understand how great, ok or stuck you really are?

Why don’t we know if we’re financially great, OK, stuck or f*cked?

We weren’t taught money at school.

Hands up if you took a "Money" subject at school? Exactly. We learned trigonometry & calculus but not How to Invest or Good, Bad & OK Debt. 

Almost half of Australians are not financially literate

If you’re in another Western country, don’t pat yourselves on the back just yet, because we know your results are much the same.

Low financial literacy costs on avge $1,819 USD p/a

UK & Oz studies showed an even larger amount and the compounding effect of this cost exacerbates the wealth gap .

This means, many of us are applying one-size-fits-all approaches to our finances and wondering why it’s not working for us. Approaches like trying to stick to a strict budget, thinking you’re only financially adulting if you own your own home, paying off debt before you invest or following the 50/30/20 rule (spending 50% on needs, 30% on wants and 20% on savings).

None of which works for all of us.

With financial literacy so low

We Simply Don’t Understand Where We Are Financially

That’s where my quiz can help.

Sure, a quiz won’t solve all your financial problems, but it can highlight gaps and help you see where to start. Instead of just yelling pivot and hoping it changes.

What do you have to lose?

Hi, I’m Mel

I’m an ex-accountant, ex-financial advisor and now financially independent in my own right (after coming back from less than nothing in my 30s as the result of a stupid financial mistake). I believe finance is personal and it’s about finding the solution that works best for YOU. This is definitely not a ‘one size fits all’ kinda place.

If we’ve just met, welcome to the path towards reducing your financial overwhelm. I promise you’ll discover you can do money well and you might even (dare I say) enjoy doing it.

My mission is to help women not just become financially resilient but financially thrive.
