In this episode I speak about a tool that can keep you out of trouble and also leverage opportunities: the emergency fund. The emergency fund helped us have a ‘piece of mind’ and it is the foundation of our financial well-being. We have worked on building it to a comfortable level before any other plans and now we divide our efforts between the ‘ideal’ level and our short-term plans.

Episode 8 - How do you see your future?

Welcome to the Canny Life, a financial education podcast to support the journey of women, couples and families who want to achieve financial wellbeing and wealth. This is also a podcast for those tired of trying to understand why finances need to be so complicated and want a jargon-free, simple way of learning! This project came to life after the frustrations of a normal couple with the financial system and how they sorted their lives through proper financial education to be back on the path of licit wealth! During their journey, they realised most of the people don’t receive proper financial education throughout their lives, yet everyone is still pushed to take complex financial decisions on an everyday basis. Most people are either self-learners on this lonely journey or, when they receive any form of advice it mainly comes from relatives and friends who don’t know themselves or, even worse, from companies and advisors who have provided biased information! Hardly enough for everyone, women are yet to be at a wider disadvantage, as most of the ‘gender-neutral’ information is handled by men! Our intention is to speak in a simple language so we can support your learning and perhaps inspire you to do your best effort to achieve your dreams.
