💡 August is Sorted Money Month!
Money plays a huge role in our lives, yet it’s one of the most avoided topics. That’s exactly why Sorted Money Month exists — to encourage everyday Kiwis like you to take small, meaningful steps towards financial wellbeing.
This year’s theme?
🚨 “Stressed or Sorted? The Difference Is an Emergency Fund.”
Life happens — a flat tyre, a medical bill, or an unexpected job change — and without a financial buffer, those surprises hit hard. But with an emergency fund, you move from panicked to prepared. Just a little savings cushion can make all the difference.
💬 Don’t know where to start? That’s where I come in.
I’ve got some easy, beginner-friendly financial literacy sessions to help you:
✅ Build an emergency fund
✅ Create your first budget
✅ Understand how to grow your money
✅ Set financial goals that actually work
Whether you’re just starting out or need to reset your money mindset, this is a great time to take action.
