Welcome back to the Money Minded podcast.

We’re at the end of our escape plan series, and we promised you’d hear some success stories.

So in this episode, you’re going to learn from Ryan and Mon just how powerful and valuable money skills really are.

They never really had money problems, but they also knew they weren’t managing it well either.

Ryan is a FIFO worker, and Mon handled the mental load that comes with money. They never really fought about it,

But it wasn’t something they were doing well together.

Mon would spend hours in bank statements and personal finance apps.

Ryan would make money and then want to buy new toys.

And it’s not like they couldn’t afford these toys. It was just the feeling of not making any real progress for how hard they were both working.

When they started learning the money mapping method they kicked some massive goals.

Mastering these money skills allowed them to:

Pay off their consumer debt
Build a comfortable cash cushion
Pay down their mortgage faster
Build a 6 figure investment portfolio

All while funding their wedding and honeymoon, and taking trips overseas and interstate for holidays.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. About 12 months into their life threw them a curveball, and it was at this moment they realised just how valuable the skills they had acquired are.

In this episode, they very generously take us inside this moment, and talk about how they worked together to manage one of the most difficult moments of their life.

If you want to know the true value of being confident and capable with your money, this episode is for you.

I hope you enjoy.
