A podcast about real people and their real money stories. Have you ever wondered how some people find themselves in sticky financial situations? Sometimes managing money isn’t as straight forward as it seems, and things you think will never happen to you…just happen. On our debut season of Real Money with Effie Zahos you’ll hear the stories of real Australians who have overcome a spending addiction, survived an internet scam and gotten ahead of financial deceit just in the nick of time…and much more. On Real Money with Effie Zahos, the good news is these experiences you’ll hear from our real Australians have made them all stronger, and they are so gracious in sharing their stories to make sure other Australians avoid the same pitfalls.

On today's episode, we meet Kathleen. She was forced to sell her music school business nearly ten years ago but was still left with significant debt. Over the years, as she started a new career, that debt steadily grew and she was told her bankruptcy was the easiest way out.
Rather than going bankrupt, Kathleen turned to “spending planner” Carolyn Moes for help. Kathleen and Carolyn tell us the steps they have taken to turn Kathleen’s finances around, why ignoring debt is never the answer and what exactly a spending planner does.
