Helping single mums break hold of debt and create the financial freedom they deserve.
Saving regularly is a habit
Starting her money journey was extremely hard she says, because it meant that she had to open up and admit that she didn't have it all together. Natalye had to tell people that she was homeless and she was not ready to share that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However once she did, it freed her and has been continuing on this journey ever since, now working towards my financial independence goal.
Get Help - She told someone about her financial situation and they sent her to an organisation called Christians against poverty where she enrolled on their free personal finance course.

Read a personal finance book - books (as well as water) is life. Its education/knowledge for a fraction of the price of a course and or degree.⠀⠀⠀
Be Open with your financial situation with people -Natalye-Marrie is not saying tell the world, but what she did was whenever there was an event coming up, she would tell friends or family members how much she could contribute beforehand because she's clearing down debts. That opened up wonderful conversations. By being transparent, you're giving permission to others to be transparent too. Money should be discussed all the time.
Create a budget - Can't stress this enough but creating a budget is empowering. You now control where your money goes. Budgets are not supposed to be restrictive. They are there to tell your money where to go and they help control your spending and they help you reach your money goal
Clear debts - All the points above contributes to clearing debt. Now you have more money to invest with.

From homeless and in debt to a £500k net worth in 4 years
NEW POSTCAST ALERT
Money Matters mama, get out of debt and get your money right with money coach Natalye ...Guess what she can help you !!!!
Helping single mums break hold of debt and create the financial freedom they deserve. Natalye shares the benefits of going debt free ⠀
5 easy Tips managing your money - Budget , Clear Debt, Income and expenses, Emergency Fund, Saving and investments.
Natalye tells us how she became debt free in 2016, and in 2017, she said in one of her posts 'I conquered one of my items on my bucket list!
She travelled to Europe in a motorhome with her kids. She travelled to Pisa and Lake Como in Italy, Switzerland and South of France. It was an amazing trip and her first one in years because of the debt she previously had.
This was one of her whys. This was the reason behind her mastering her finances. It was never about the money but the freedom it allowed her once she had cleared my debt. Natalye was able to experience something that I had once come across on YouTube by accident a few years prior of a family travelling the US in an RV and I immediately wanted to do something similar.
Natalye is so real on the podcast and explains 'What narrative are you telling yourself because of your current finances?
Who told you , you cant be debt free?
Pre approved 0% on balance transfer credit cards - Yes it may be an unpopular method but credit cards come with high interest, and every month interest is being applied to your balance so it can make for a lengthy process.
Moving it over to a credit card offering 0% on balance transfers for 12 months can help you immensely. It means there is no interest being charged on the balance. There is a fee but it can be as little as 1.5% of the balance. In the grand scheme of things I’d rather pay the fee then the interest.
Paying the debt off once balance has been transferred - Once the balance is transferred, I would then make a plan on paying that balance off. So if the 0% interest was only for 12 months, I would work on paying that balance off within the 12 months.
The longer the interest free period, the better.

The reason why I enjoyed speaking to Carly so much was because of her 'REAL Approach' she said 'I know what it's like to feel lost, overwhelmed, and stuck. I understand what its like to always feel like you're in survival mode and to feel like you're settling for a life you've been handed. I know because I've been there and felt it all. That was until I realised I wanted more and that was ok. I didn't need to settle or compromise, I could create the life I want. And I want to help others like me to do the same'.
