We’re Just Like You
By name & by nature... we'll be your mate.
We live on the coast of South Australia
but we relate and connect with friends and clients Australia-wide.

“Sort Your Budget, Sort Your Life” is so true.
We See it, We Teach it, We Live It…
Our philosophy that financial wellness extends far beyond just managing money—it’s about creating overall life satisfaction and relationship harmony.
We’d love to hear from you…
We are Andrew and Alyssa Mates, a husband-and-wife team with a background in property and finance. By understanding the power of knowing our numbers we became completely debt and mortgage-free in 2022 at the age of 39 years old and now enjoy living life in beautiful Normanville, South Australia.
Andrew left a high-stress corporate career to pursue a career in finance and became a mortgage broker with Aussie back in 2012, but during his time he quickly realised that his passion was helping people eliminate debt, not accumulate it, and promptly left the industry.
Alyssa, a property enthusiast, worked alongside Andrew whilst they developed their personal plan for property and cashflow which ended up becoming their personal finance system that provided clarity, structure, and a clear path to their personal financial freedom.
Since 2009, this system has guided our decisions personally, and since 2018 we have been teaching others our methodologies of how to create their own path to financial independence by providing clarity on their current financial position, future goals, and helping them to implement steps required to achieve them—whether for household budgets, business finances, or preparing to borrow or invest.
Our approach is tailored to you, practical in nature, and focused on your self-reliance, without any third-party apps or subscriptions. We deliver an empathetic, fun, and exciting approach to budgets to ensure you receive your tailor-made plan that works for you – unique to your own circumstances and designed for your success.
If you’re ready to take charge of your financial future, reach out. This could be the most impactful step toward achieving your goals.

Refinance to clear debt. Feel relief. A few years pass. More debt appears. Refinance again. Repeat.
Sound familiar?
Refinancing without fixing your spending habits is like mopping up water while the tap's still running. You can work harder, move faster, get a bigger mop – but until you turn off the tap, you're just going to keep mopping forever.
We get it. Refinancing feels like the solution. Lower payments. Breathing room. Problem solved... except it's not. You've just moved the problem and made it bigger.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀? When refinancing is paired with the right strategy, it actually works.
We help families break free from the refinance cycle with personalized budget plans that fit YOUR life, YOUR income, and YOUR goals. Not restrictive. Not deprivating. Just real strategies that help you:
✅ Get crystal clear on where your money actually goes
✅ Make confident spending decisions (without the guilt)
✅ Reduce debt strategically while still enjoying life
✅ Build toward mortgage freedom, not further away from it
You don't have to choose between living well today and securing your future. You can do both – with the right plan.
