How $46 Taught Me More Than a Finance Degree

Back when I first moved to Australia, I had $46 left after rent and groceries. No car, no meal plan, no Uber Eats. Just a weekly Myki pass and pure improvisation. And that week taught me more than any finance class: I learned how to prioritise (coffee > Wi-Fi) I learned what’s “need” vs “nice” I learned how powerful it feels to know where your money’s going You don’t need a high income to learn money. You just need a week where every dollar counts. That was the week I realised: Finance isn’t complicated. It’s just never been explained like this before.
