A Very Barefoot Will

Hi Scott,

My beautiful mum passed away recently. She was a big fan of yours. Each Sunday we’d catch up and she’d ask me what ‘Barefoot Scott’ had written this week, often chuckling at your straight-talking responses. After she died, we found that she had left instructions (in her fire-proof Bunnings safe) about a hidden ‘Mojo’ envelope — to help us out until her will was resolved. We also found an ING account named ‘Holiday’, ready for her next big trip. As sad as I felt, I had to smile with pride. It wasn’t about the money, I was just in awe that Mum had done all this in her late seventies, and with very little too. Kudos, Mum!

Hi Jenny

Love it!

A lot of people think that Barefoot is about money-grubbing finance.

Yet, at its core, what we talk about here each week is how to look after the people we love.

And, in that sense, your mum was a true Barefooter.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Scott.
