🚨 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.

This challenge 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

💬 “My car broke down again and I had to spend all my savings, and the rest went on Afterpay. But all your education kicked into gear and I actually bounced back without getting depressed. I bounced back financially too. You're a motivational, knowledgeable wizard, my friend!"
