The $12.99 system that funded our spontaneous Italy move
From bankruptcy to world travel: Our financial journey
Hey there budget bosses, it's Ren here! 👋
How did a $12.99 system fund this?
But first….
Quick update: We're going to ITALY!
I’m almost too excited to sleep lately!
Before our big New Zealand move, we've decided to spend 2-3 months living in Italy first.
Can’t fricken wait - I’m so excited!
How are we making this happen? The same way we're building our dream life in New Zealand:
Through intentional financial planning. Period.
Here's the truth: We're not special. We’re not super rich. We don't have some secret inheritance or crypto windfall.
What we DO have are smart financial habits that give us the freedom to pivot when opportunities arise.
…And it all started with a simple system you can get your hands on today.
Ya know the crazy part? Turns out it’s going to be CHEAPER for us to live in Italy for 2-3 months anyway!
"We don't budget because we're broke. We budget because we want the freedom to say YES when life offers something amazing."
The Secret to Financial Flexibility…
Remember my husband's bankruptcy?
Those rough years of business failures?
Everything changed when we got crystal clear on managing our finances.
But, like I said, we’re not special at all…We just deploy a simple process that works for us (and now thousands just like us).
When we unlocked true financial control, it was life changing.
Our marriage was happier.
Our stess levels were lower and we got more enjoyment out of everyday life without feeling like the next pendulum swing was going to smite us down…
We wanted others to feel this freedom and joy and while we’re (very) far from perfect, there is one little thing we can help with…
Imagine how empowered you’ll feel saying to your friends you CAN afford to go on that trip with them…
How special it feels not to stress when you’re at the store as to whether your card’s going to decline due to low balance (been there and I know how hard that is)
Now, I bet you’re wondering….
The system we used? The exact same one we just rolled out in our store recently (new and updaed for 2025!)
