I earn well, but I still feel anxious about spending sometimes.

So I'm running a small experiment — what happens when someone texts me about a money decision before they make it. No app. No product. Just a quiet, two-week conversation.

What this is

This isn't an app, a course, or a tracker.

It's a two-week, one-on-one conversation with me on WhatsApp — about the kind of money questions that feel hard to answer alone.

If you've ever thought:

  • “Can I afford this?”
  • “Will I regret this later?”
  • “Am I overthinking this?”

Then you already know the feeling I'm exploring.

What this looks like

You're about to order something online. Or you're standing in a store. Or you just got a bill and you're not sure how to feel about it.

You text me. Whatever's on your mind — no format, no structure.

I'll text back with one way of seeing it. Not a fix. Not a plan. Just a thought.

Sometimes that's enough.

On WhatsApp. Most people end up messaging 2–3 times a week. I usually respond within a few hours.

Why I'm exploring this

I've spent a lot of time thinking about why money decisions feel harder than they should — even for people who earn well.

Most tools are great at telling you what already happened. They're much quieter when you're about to decide something.

So I'm testing something simpler: what if the right moment isn't after a transaction — but right before you make one?

I'm not a coach. Not a financial planner. Just someone trying to think through this more carefully — for myself, and maybe with you too.

Curious what your money actually looks like after commitments? This takes 2 minutes.

Let's figure out what's actually free to spend

One step at a time. Rough numbers are fine.

If that number surprised you — that's exactly the kind of moment this experiment is about.

Why you might want to try this

Most people don't need a fix — they need a moment to think.

If you've ever texted a friend “Should I do this?” — this is like that. But quieter. Slower. Focused only on your money clarity.

Privacy & boundaries

  • This stays between us on WhatsApp. I won't screenshot, share, or use your messages beyond our conversation. Everything is anonymised — always.
  • I won't pitch you anything. Ever.
  • You can drop out anytime — no follow-ups, no questions asked.

I'm only doing this with a handful of people. If this sounds like something you'd genuinely try — not out of politeness, but because you recognise the feeling — I'd like to hear from you.

At the end of the two weeks, I'll share what I learned from the experiment — patterns, surprises, and what actually helped. Everything will be anonymised. Your conversations stay between us.
