Money Made Simple Blog
Let me paint you a picture.
You're running a business. You've got a bookkeeper. You've got an accountant. You've maybe even got some accounting software that your bookkeeper set up. So, the business side feels... sort of covered? And then there's your personal finances, which you've been meaning to...
There’s something I’ve been noticing a lot lately, with clients and also with my 10-year old daughter (we do quite a bit of home learning, so I've seen her journey from discomfort with reading and writing, so gradually becoming more and more comfortable).
It’s this idea of becoming comfortable with...
There’s a lot going on right now. Even if you’re not glued to the news, you see it in everyday life. Fuel prices. Groceries. Everything is creeping up, and that's more or less on the back end of the increases we experienced after the last pandemic.
What I'm seeing happen with a lot of women I work ...
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the word wisdom.
Not knowledge. Not information. Not strategies. Wisdom.
What does Being Wise and Wealth Mean?
Recently I had this moment where I was playing around with some t-shirt ideas (fun money merch), and the phrase “wise, wealthy woman” came up.
It m...
Let’s just say it straight.  Doing nothing with your money is costing you.
And I don’t mean that in a dramatic, fear-based way. I mean it in a very practical, very real way that most people just… avoid looking at.
Because here’s what I see all the time: smart, capable, successful women running bus...
I hear this all the time: “I don’t have enough money to invest.” “I’ll focus on wealth later… right now I’m just trying to pay the bills.”
And I get it. I've been there too. Being as gently straightforward as possible - to a certain extent, that belief is what’s keeping you stuck. Â
Because the r...
If there is one question I hear more than any other when speaking with women about money, it’s this: “Where do I even start?”
There is a quiet frustration that underlies this question, because it's something many women have been asking themselves for years. Because we aren't taught about money, an...
Many intelligent, capable women believe they’re “bad with money.”
They run businesses. They manage teams. They raise families. They care for parents and loved ones. They coordinate complex lives.
Yet when it comes to money, they freeze.
Not because they lack intelligence or they lack ability, but...
There’s a quiet story I hear over and over again from intelligent, high-functioning women.
“I just need to get through this month.”
“I don’t have time to think about retirement.”
“I’ll deal with investing later.”
“Right now, I just need to make payroll.”
"I don't have enough money to grow wealth."
Wealth is a word that has a define meaning, but can have different interpretations and emotions that go with it.
For many intelligent, capable women, it doesn’t inspire possibility, it triggers tension.
“I don’t have enough to invest.” “No one in my family has ever been wealthy.”
“I’m just not go...
Recently, I’ve been building a financial app.
Now, I'm a finance person, not a tech person.
Before this journey, I had never heard of a “tech stack” and had no idea what a "wireframe" was. I didn’t know the difference between hosting and servers. I had no idea what API keys were, why “regions” mat...
One of the biggest sources of money anxiety I see, especially in women in their 40s and beyond, isn’t reckless spending or poor income choices.  It’s uncertainty.
Not knowing:
-
What you’re working towards
-
Whether you’re “on track”
-
If you’ll have enough
-
Or what “enough” even means
