  • TPC Gold | Why We Swear by the Seven-Day Float
    Apr 15 2025

    In today’s TPC Gold soundbite, Bryce and Ben unpack one of the most powerful—and underrated—tools in our MoneySMARTS money management system: the seven-day float.

    What is the Seven-Day Float?
    It’s a weekly spending system that helps you stay on top of your cash, ditch the guilt, and spend with purpose.

    The best part? It works whether you’re a uni student, a parent managing a household, or the CEO of a big company.

    Why It Works
    ✔️ It replaces guesswork with clarity
    ✔️ It breaks the “tap-and-go” overspending habit
    ✔️ It gives every dollar a job

    Learn all about MoneySMARTS—including how the seven-day float fits into your broader plan—in our book, Make Money Simple Again.

    It’s helped thousands of Australians take control of their money without giving up the things they love.
