How?

Shang Saavedra, now a work-optional financial coach, shares how she 'turbocharged' her finances in order to create time freedom.
When it comes to building towards a good financial future, you’ll need some spare cash in order to hit your goals, whether that’s paying off debt, investing, or whatever else.
In order to get there, there’s basically two options.
You need to earn more, or spend less, in order to have the funds that let you do the interesting things.
But what if you did a bit of both? Cutting back on spending at the same time as looking for opportunities to earn more, so you can truly turbocharge your finances towards your goals?
One person who’s been there, done that, and achieved financial independence is Shang Saavedra, who used that method to become ‘work optional’, with a flexible, financially secure lifestyle that let’s her prioritise family.

Shell Shields, who runs the page Christchurch Deals, shares how she finds a good bargain, which community is the secret weapon, and what she'd never cut back on.
I will die on this hill - one of the best ways to manage your money is to be around people with similar values to you, who are part of your team, and cheering you on.
This is particularly the case when it comes to trying to cut back and save.
If friends and family are on the same page as you, you can all work together to make sure that social occasions don’t break the bank, and share any secret deals you each find.
Taking this idea of a deal-hunting community to the next level is the woman behind Christchurch Deals.
Her Instagram page details plenty of bargains happening throughout Christchurch, and while she finds plenty of them herself, they’re also sent to her by followers, friends, and family.
It’s one happy community of bargain-hunters.
So here’s how she finds the deals, and the tactics you can use to find some in your own city.

Clarissa Hirst, professional coach and marketing consultant, shares how a panic attack and burnout led to quitting the corporate world and launching her own business.
It’s something we’re often encouraged to do when we’re establishing our careers – work hard, take on extra projects, join networking groups and do extra with them too.
The problem is, there’s only so much of us to go around, and sometimes this can lead to you hitting the wall, and realising you can’t do it anymore.
That’s what happened to today’s guest, when she had a panic attack at one of the very events she’d been most looking forward to.
On doctor’s orders, she had to quit her job.
But as she decided on what to do next, she hatched a plan – to start a business.
Not exactly a recipe for a calm work life, you might think, as the self-employed life isn’t exactly known for being stress free.
But she had an idea for how to make it work.
