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.
Every milestone our clients hit, every debt they clear, and every saving milestone reached feels like a victory for us too.
.
When you win, we celebrate with you. That’s the Your Budget Mates promise.

From $100,000 in debt… to saving over $1,000 a week.
.
When Dave and Michelle first came to us, they were done.
.
Done with false promises.
Done with budgeting apps that looked great but didn’t deliver.
Done with feeling like they were failing, even on a high income.
.
They were carrying more than debt.
They were carrying disappointment, distrust, and the weight of feeling stuck.
.
But they showed up. Nervous, cautious… and ready to try one last time.
That’s when everything changed.
.
With empathy, real numbers, and a plan tailored just for them, we worked side-by-side to shift their financial world.
.
✅ $200/week in savings by month three.
✅ Clear debt strategy and momentum.
✅ Paid off a 5-year car loan in 9 months.
✅ And now… they’re debt-free and saving over $1,000 a week towards building their first home.
.
It’s not about apps.
It’s not about quick fixes.
It’s about real support, real care, and a strategy that works.
.
This is why we do what we do at Your Budget Mates.
.
Because when people are seen, heard, and guided, transformation happens.
.
💛 If you’ve lost trust in budgeting, we get it.
But maybe… it’s time to try one more time.
