“Your eyes are over every cent.”

 Before we switched on the microphones, TPC listener Keren White wasn’t sure if she’d have anything ‘worthwhile’ to share. But just like every other guest in our Summer Series, her real-life experience with the fundamentals we’ve been teaching is nothing short of extraordinary! So when we hit go on record, she absolutely kicked into second gear and held nothing back… which means you’re about to be in for a

‘Wow, really?!’ ride…

Here’s her story in nutshell…  Keren is the coal face of someone who has adopted our Money SMARTS system… but unlike most folk, what instigated the need to switch from a typical budget to our rules-based system was a bit different.

You see, prior to the change, Keren and her husband Terence’s life — and indeed their money habits — took more of a ‘go with the flow approach. So, while they were able to get some savings together when they wanted to and never ventured into credit card debt territory, they almost always struggled to stick to their budget. Lifestyle and perhaps ‘living just for now’’ took precedence. For example, if they wanted a holiday… they took a holiday. If there was emergency cash sitting in their ‘car’ account — just one of the many open — but say the car was running fine… well, then that was extra play money for the holiday, right?!

They weren’t stretched. They were doing kinda fine, really. Sure, there wasn’t much put aside for tomorrow, but their money situation wasn’t too bad in the scheme of things…

But then something happened. The Wake-Up Call. It was a hard blow that finally demanded Keren and Terence start prioritising their future….
