How it started

My money system wasn't born from a love for money, or because I liked to nerd out on numbers (even though I am a proud nerd). It actually came from my obsession with travel.

When I first became a mum, I was blessed with preemie twin boys, which as you can imagine, totally turned our life upside down. Our income changed. Our expenses changed. And suddenly I started to worry that we'd have to give up the thing our family loves most: travel.

That wasn't an option for me.

So one night I sat down and looked at our expenses. I couldn't believe how much we were spending on groceries and take away, way over what I thought. I could see exactly where money was leaking, and that it was time to do things differently.

That's when my money system was born. We stopped spending absent-mindedly and started spending intentionally. We changed how we managed our expenses, reduced our take away nights, and got serious about maximising frequent flyer points. Every food shop, every tank of petrol, every dollar we were already spending started working harder for us.

Those changes redirected money towards saving for holidays, so we could share our love for overseas travel with our boys.

Proof the system works

How long does it take a family of 4 to earn enough points to fly home from San Francisco?

6 months

That's it. Just everyday spending, earning points on every food shop, tank of petrol and family outing.

What we paid in taxes for flights for all four of us, San Francisco to Adelaide.

$4,800+

Saved on that one booking. Imagine what's sitting in your points account right now ๐Ÿค”

So, what's a money system?

It's a strict budget a plan that gives every dollar a job.

It's not a strict budget that cuts out every chai latte (coffee hater over here). It's a balanced framework that gives every dollar a job.

That doesn't mean spending it all the second it lands. It simply means having a system of different accounts, and knowing exactly where your money's meant to go. So you can enjoy life now, while still building the future you want.

Whether you're a:

๐Ÿ’ผBusiness owner ready to finally pay yourself a wage
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ปCareer woman done living paycheck to paycheck
โœˆ๏ธMum who's done putting travel in the "one day" basket for you and your family
๐Ÿ™ŒOr all of the above

I can help you build a money system that works for you.

Personal money system session

I am a single mum of 3, I wanted to be able to pay what I had to and also save some money so I could make memories with my kids. Before I spoke to Lauren I thought any kind of savings was impossible. By the end of the call Lauren had worked out a money system that allowed me to not have to worry about when my direct debits come out and also any variable bills were covered and the best part I was also able to see that there was a certain amount I could save a month AND still have splurge/guilt free money left to spend on myself or kids... I wish I had got into contact with Lauren earlier.

Their first family holiday

We've just booked our first family trip ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ. The help and guidance you gave us helped us see where some extra cash flow sat and we were like well we can keep building it up, or go on holiday now knowing we can continue build it up after as well.
