Ever feel like you’re earning okay
— but still can’t see where it all goes?
Most couples I talk to aren’t reckless with money.
They’re responsible, hardworking, and doing their best.
Money talk doesn’t have to cause tension — it can bring teamwork.
Most couples I talk to aren’t reckless with money.
They’re responsible, hardworking, and doing their best.
But the way life moves today — direct debits, pay-later plans, subscriptions, and rising costs — it’s easy to lose track of where your money’s actually going.
You might talk about saving more, investing, or “getting on top of it”…
but when every month feels like a reset, the stress starts to build.
One partner worries about the bills. The other wonders why it’s never enough.
And before long, money talk turns into money tension.
You’re not bad with money — you’ve just never had a clear, calm system that shows you what’s really happening.
That’s why I created the Calm Money Journey — a simple path to move from confusion to clarity, and from surviving to thriving together.

Meet Dave Stanton
I'm Dave, The Money Dad
G’day — I’m Dave Stanton, “Dave The Money Dad.” I’m an Australian couples wealth coach and founder of DaveTheMoneyDad.com.
With a Banking & Finance degree (Accounting major) and 30+ years in banking, I’ve led $100M+ projects and built simple systems that make money make sense.
I thought I was great with money—until I tried to teach my own family. That wake-up call became my mission: help couples talk about money without fights, master cashflow, grow wealth, and model healthy habits for their kids.
My approach is simple, practical, and human. We cut jargon, focus on the few actions that move the needle, and build calm, confident routines you can run together.
Get rich? No. Get wealthy.
Once you find clarity,
You’ll start creating freedom — together.”
