Australian Finance Podcast · The Role of Financial Counselling with Nick Georgiou · 14 Sep 2020 podcast

It would make a huge difference to this person's life and capacity to move on and get somewhere safe if you would waive this debt and seeing debts waived under those circumstances.

And that can really give people, as we said, the financial capacity to leave an unsafe place and basically start over.

So that's probably two of the most satisfying things.

types of scenarios that I've worked with in the past.

It's helping people with really serious health issues, reducing financial stress to give them time and energy to focus on living or perhaps recovery and helping people get out of violent relationships.

Because money is such a big part of life, financial stress can impact other parts of people's lives and in particular relationships.

So people might notice they're arguing with others about money more.

But we can certainly help them address the financial side of things and carve out some space and time for them to deal with any other issues that they're dealing with.

But then having said that, it's one thing to sit down and put a budget together and think to yourself, righto, this is the way it's going to be.

But things come out of the blue.

Unexpected injuries, unexpected illnesses, car accidents, relationship breakdowns.

fines even if someone's on a fairly tight budget and they get some sort of fine of a couple of hundred dollars or an unexpectedly high electricity bill that can really put a spanner in the work so it's important to budget for the things that you can reasonably foresee things like that but then there is other things that just come completely out of the blue no amount of budgeting or full planning can really meet that especially if your income does stop overnight and in those cases
