What We've Learned Writing About Money
After three years of interviewing families, couples, and individuals about their money journeys, some patterns emerge. The people who succeed aren't necessarily earning the most — they're the ones who found systems that actually fit their lives.
Take Sarah from Brisbane, who stopped feeling guilty about her weekly Thai takeaway once she built it into her budget properly. Or Marcus in Perth, who finally got his emergency fund sorted by treating it like a bill instead of leftover money. These aren't revolutionary concepts, but they work because they're honest about how people actually live.
