Hello! In today's episode we are answering the question of...

HOW DO YOU PLANS FOR AND THEN PAY A LARGE SHORT TERM EXPENSE?  

In your 20s, 30s and beyond it sometimes feels like you're in the height of adulting that comes with pretty lumpy costs - things like moving overseas, buying a car, looking after your health, getting pets, weddings, honeymoons....the list goes on!

Layered on top of this is often an element of time pressure - whether it's something of our own doing or one that society puts on us.

So today we'll be talking about how you not only plan and save for these expenses, but how you can prioritise and re-frame what's important so you can make it happen.

In this episode we cover: 

• The largest amount of cash we've ever spent on a personal expense!
• How we saved for those items...and in some cases didn't - eeek!
• What a sinking fund is and why it's the best way to save 
• Delayed gratification and how to prioritise 
• Learning to love what you spend money on and not being deterred by the views of others
• Spending money in line with your values 
• What to do when debt seems like the only way....after all, we are only human.
