224. How this mum of 4 saved $150k in 4 years

Avelima is an incredibly inspiring mum of four who has managed to save $150k in just four years, all while training to become a financial adviser. But her money story growing up looked very different. In this episode, she opens up about what it was like growing up Samoan in Australia and the financial pressures tied to fa'alavelave, a cultural tradition where families contribute to funeral, wedding, or other significant costs that can stretch into the thousands.

She shares how she’s learned to reframe her culture and values in a way that still honours her heritage without putting her own family at risk financially, and how setting boundaries has become a game changer for their future.

It’s an honest and thoughtful chat that many will relate to, and a lot of us can learn from!
