Start your financial safety net

Join over 400 other women who have already signed up for the free She’s Worth It Emergency Fund Challenge this August and take your first step toward financial security, as part of Sorted’s Money Month 2025.

💸 What’s the Challenge?

To celebrate Sorted’s Money Month, She’s Worth It is hosting a no-shame, real-life challenge to help you build (or rebuild) your emergency fund in the month of August, even if you’re starting from zero.

You’ll get:

✅ Weekly emails with simple, supportive guidance
✅ A printable tracker to help you stay motivated
✅ Money-saving tips that actually work for your life
✅ A chance to win $100 towards your emergency fund

🚨 Why This Matters

In Aotearoa, 1 in 3 people couldn’t cover a $500 emergency without borrowing or going into debt.
And two-thirds of us wouldn’t make it a month without income.

“An emergency saving fund is one of the most powerful foundations for financial wellbeing, including for women navigating change, uncertainty or hardship. ”
— Sorted spokesperson, Philippa Prentice
“Financial insecurity is a serious barrier for many women, particularly after relationship breakdowns. Without savings, women are particularly vulnerable to poverty, hardship and high-cost debt. That’s why it’s so important to have an emergency fund and grow financial literacy, they provide a practical starting point for women to take back control.”
— Brittany Goodwin, Senior Social Policy and Advocacy Advisor at Good Shepherd NZ.

Sorted’s Money Month is all about taking small steps to build a stronger financial future.

For women (especially those navigating burnout, divorce, financial abuse, or solo parenting) this isn’t just about money.

It’s about stability, dignity, and peace of mind.

💛 This challenge is for you if:

  • You’ve tried budgeting, but always feel like you’re “behind”

  • You’re tired of stressing over unexpected bills

  • You feel overwhelmed by the idea of saving

  • You want to feel in control of your money, without shame or guilt

What You’ll Need

  • A goal (don’t worry, we’ll help you set one)

  • A willingness to start small — $1/day is plenty

  • A little time each week to check in, learn, and reflect

  • A commitment to your future self
