Hi,

I’m Mel. I’m just an ordinary mum.

My friends used to joke that I was always telling them a savvy tip or way to save money. They knew that I was always keen to get a bargain.

One lovely friend suggested that I should start an Instagram page. I wasn’t even on social media much. She gently encouraged me to try.

I’ll forever be grateful that she did. Through the long nights of feeding my babies and rocking them back to sleep, I posted little bits and pieces. It was fun to be able to share my ideas with an audience, however small.

I’m passionate about empowering women of all ages to manage their money well and become financially independent, regardless of their household income.

I’m not trained in finance so not able to give personal advice. I enjoy sharing about side hustle ideas, savvy tips and doing the best you can with what you have.
