74. Interesting things happen to interesting people.

MONEY JOURNEYS

This week I’m sharing the story of Ayana, a woman who sure does have a zest for life. However, life keeps throwing her curve balls, and she has to keep adjusting course. She takes life by the horns, and because she is thinking clearly about money, she can embrace each new change instead of being crippled by it. I loved this conversation; I think you will too.

48. Everything is working out perfectly!

MONEY JOURNEYS

Jen freaked out at 49! She considered herself to be halfway through her life and had big concerns about what the other half might look like. A divorce halved her net worth and becoming a single mother introduced a whole heap of new challenges. She is now fast tracking to an early retirement at the age of 55 and is a wonderful example of showing just what a woman on a mission is capable of!

47. Matching income with expectations is the secret.

MONEY JOURNEYS

Nina was homeschooled and part of her education involved investing in the share market and preparing from the age of just 13 to cover the cost of her future university degree.

46. I'm sick of living pay cheque to pay cheque!

MONEY JOURNEYS

But finally she reached a pivotal point of being heartily sick of living pay cheque to pay cheque and in just a few short years she and her husband have made a massive financial turnaround and are now firmly on the path to financial independence.
