Chelsea is dropping 17 genuinely clever hacks that will shrink your Christmas food spend.

And yes, she brought her full under-$100 Christmas menu. It’s generous, it’s gorgeous, it’s chaos-proof and you’re absolutely allowed to steal it.In this ep:
My guest this week is Ian Keldoulis, co-author of Unblinded: The Startup That Launched a Revolution in Saving Sight.

A year after being thrown head first into financial litteracy and producing over 200 episodes of She’s On The Money, our behind the scenes queen Emma is here to share exactly how her finances and money mindset has changed. This is what happens when real life, rising costs, and a very loud financial education collide. A home that wasn’t meant to be forever suddenly holds the key to a much bigger plan. One tiny change inside her super she'd been putting off ends up doing far more than she expected. And the investing strategy she used to overthink becomes the thing that finally gives her financial clarity. Inside this ep:
You’re trying to save, plan, be responsible, do the grown-up things, but underneath it you’re tired in a way that a weekend off doesn’t quite fix. If that’s you, this week we’re talking about the moments where your financial goals start clashing with your wellbeing, and how to tell when you’re pushing yourself for a dream versus pushing yourself past your limits. Plus, what does progress look like when you’re burnt out, and how do you protect the version of you you’re building all this for? Then we're diving into leaving a job without burnining bridges... and still getting a good reference. Whether things are a bit tense or fully toxic, navigating an exit in a small industry is tricky at best. So we explore the smarter ways to manage references, timing, expectations, and how to leave a workplace with your dignity and your options intact.Need the team’s take on your money dilemma?

You may not know it, but you’ve probably used a Ventia service today. Dean Banks, Managing Director and Group CEO, tells us how the essential infrastructure giant manages the assets that power daily life, like water, transport, and telecommunications. Dean explains the advantages of being a broad portfolio business across Australia and New Zealand, and how the company’s sheer size helps them gather the data to deliver cost savings for customers. Hear how Ventia hopes to get a bigger piece of the $100 billion energy opportunity, and new five-year contract awards in telecommunications. Dean reveals why in a volatile era, what he terms "boring reliability" is a big advantage, with a focus on keeping their 35,000 employees safe, and defending against cyber threats as a major government contractor. Plus, how Ventia's telecommunications expertise is being used in space, with telescopes in the deserts of Western Australia to take “pictures of the past".

Every December starts with good intentions and ends with the same sentence: how did I spend that much? Because Christmas has a way of turning even the most financially competent women into festive chaos elves… not because you’re “bad with money,” but because the whole season is engineered to hijack your brain. This week, Victoria unpacks the psychology behind Christmas overspending and the subtle mind games retailers play that make you feel generous when you’re actually being steered. This isn’t about being a Grinch. It’s about finally seeing the tricks for what they are, so you can have a Christmas that still feels magical, without the financial regret in January.In this ep:

US stocks found their footing on Tuesday, lifted by a bitcoin rally after a sharp sell-off. Treasury markets also found firmer ground as traders evaluated the latest signals from the Federal Reserve. In company news, Boeing flew higher on stronger delivery plans, and MongoDB surged after raising its forecast. Gains were tempered, however, by weakness in paper and packaging companies, which weighed on the materials sector. In commodities, gold retreated on profit-taking, oil prices eased amid uncertainty over Russia-Ukraine peace talks, and iron ore advanced on Chinese infrastructure demand. Looking ahead, Aussie shares are poised to edge higher on Wednesday ahead of economic growth data.

Wall Street slipped overnight as rising bond yields and weakness in crypto-exposed stocks weighed on sentiment. US Treasuries also declined, with fresh corporate debt issuance adding pressure after Japan’s bond sell-off last week. Still, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales helped lift major US retailers. Elsewhere, European markets kicked off December on the back foot, dragged lower by a slide in Airbus. In commodities, oil rose more than a dollar a barrel after OPEC’s latest move, while silver hit a record high as growing rate-cut expectations pressured the US dollar. Back home, Aussie shares are set to open higher, with Collins Foods earnings in focus.

TV2s dokumentar, »Hvem passer på grisene? Afsløring hos landbrugets top« blev et af de helt store samtaleemner i sidste uge. Dokumentaren viser blandt andet optagelser af fastklemte, dehydrerede og underernærede grise hos en af dansk landbrugs topaktører, nemlig på en svinefarm på Langeland hos Ulrik Bremholm, viceformand i Landbrug & Fødevarer, næstformand i Danish Crown og formand for Danske Slagterier. Billederne stammer fra aktivister, der på ulovlig vis er trængt ind på privat grund og har optaget i staldene. Flere politikere har også kommenteret på dokumentaren, blandt andre De Radikales landbrugsordfører Zenia Stampe, der på Facebook skriver, at hun vil kalde minister for fødevarer, landbrug og fiskeri, Jacob Jensen (V), i samråd. Den politiske leder for Alternativet, Franciska Rosenkilde vil "gøre op" med landbrugslobbyen. Men hvordan skal det opgør se ud? Gæst: Franciska Rosenkilde, politisk leder for Alternativet Værter: Anne Phillipsen og Nicolai DandanellSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If you’ve ever looked at your payslip and thought “there’s no way I can build anything on this,” this diary is the proof you need.

It was a week full of surprises in Australia. The inaugural monthly CPI data came in stronger than expected for October. Business investment and construction work done blew away forecasts and suggest Q3 GDP will be strong. Trent Saunders and Belinda Allen unpack the data and contemplate what this means for the RBA.

The ASX200 closed essentially flat, down only three points, after a volatile November that saw the index fall about three percent for the month but climb 2.4 percent this week, snapping a four‑week losing streak. Rate‑cut hopes were dented by hotter‑than‑expected inflation, while sector performance was mixed. Tech, finance and property fell, but healthcare, consumer staples and WiseTech rose. Upcoming drivers include the OPEC+ meeting, Black Friday sales and Australian economic data on building approvals and September‑quarter growth.

Can spending money actually build your long-term wealth? Sharesies says yes. Scott Nixon, GM Sharesies Personal, and Ruth Riviere, Country Manager for Mastercard, are talking about Spend (AKA the Sharesies debit card) and the Investback reward system that earns 1% investments as you spend. Scott explains how day-to-day money management is a big part of wealth, how payments factor into Sharesies’ bigger vision, and Mastercard's role in creating network access. Why is NZ’s digital payments adoption lower than in Australia and Europe? Why is now such a crucial moment for new tech to challenge the country's consolidated retail banking environment? Plus, hear about anti-fraud innovations like tokenization, biometrics, and numberless cards.

In this episode of the Mo Money podcast, we talk about the $600,000 cost of private schooling and how you can tackle this in a way that doesn't completely sabotage your financial future. So, we get into a bit of context around what's going on in the private school fees market in Australia, the private school fee inflation, which seems to be running quite a bit hotter than standard inflation. We get into the emotional versus the financial cost, and how to really quantify what it costs you, not just in terms of the fees today, but the impact on your money over the years ahead, as well as how you can make sure that if private schooling is something that is really important to you, you can do it in us in a way that's smart and doesn't completely sabotage your financial future. We also talk about some of the bonds and tax hacks that you can use to make funding private education a little more comfortable for you as well. This episode is perfect for anyone that's got kids and thought about private school but wants to make sure that they're making the smart choice there. Smarter money moves start here. Learn how to cut through the noise, avoid expensive mistakes, and get ahead faster.

Technology stocks continued to lift Wall Street, helping the market recover ground lost in last Thursday’s sell-off as falling bond yields supported sentiment. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumped nearly 3%, while Dell Technologies rose 6% on strong data-centre demand. Elsewhere, Robinhood shares surged 10% on acquisition developments, whereas John Deere slipped on a grim agriculture outlook. Back home, futures point to gains ahead of today’s business investment data. Farewell, Tom! Your market insights and sharp sense of humour will be greatly missed.

The ASX200 closed up about 0.7%, marking three consecutive days of gains and a weekly rise of roughly 2.2% after last week’s 2.5% slump. Hotter‑than‑expected inflation (headline 3.8%, core 3.3%) pushed RBA rate‑cut odds down to 24% for May. Materials, health and consumer stocks led the upswing while tech, telcos and utilities fell. Zip jumped 7% and DroneShield 8% after a European defence contract; Temple & Webster slumped 33% on a weak trading update. Looking ahead, US inflation, jobless claims and durable‑goods data, plus the RBNZ, UK budget and Beige Book, will shape market sentiment.

You know when you’re standing in front of your overflowing wardrobe, absolutely drowning in clothes, and still somehow convincing yourself you have nothing to wear? Today’s guest knew that feeling all too well… until she decided she wasn’t buying a single new item of clothing for a whole year. Yes, Emma Edwards did the thing a lot of us love conceptually but would never have the courage, discipline, or emotional stability to actually commit to. Jess Ricci is self-admittedly in that group, so she decided to give Victoria the day off, and invite Emma into the studio to find out all about it. They dive into how what started as a “maybe this will calm my spending” experiment ended up rewiring Emma’s confidence, her habits, her body image, and the way she understood her own self-worth. Turns out the problem wasn’t the wardrobe… it was the stories she’d been telling herself every time she added something to her cart.Inside this ep:
Wall Street extended its rebound overnight as investors looked ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday and grew more confident in a December rate cut. US Treasury yields eased, with the 10-year slipping below 4% as Hassett emerged as the frontrunner for the Fed’s top job. In stocks, Nvidia fell as its rivalry with Google intensified, while Abercrombie's stock surged despite a general retail pullback. In commodities, oil declined as ongoing Ukraine–Russia talks raised expectations of improved supply. Back home, Aussie shares are expected to extend gains on Wednesday, with key inflation data and New Zealand’s rate decision in focus.

The Aussie market caught its breath today after yesterday’s strong rebound. We traded in a tight range for most of the session and finished up a touch, enough to make it two days of gains. Miners did the heavy lifting, rising about 1.7% thanks to firmer iron ore and stronger gold prices, while financials slipped roughly 0.7%. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank tumbled more than 7% after flagging deficiencies in money-laundering risk systems while on the other hand, Webjet impressed with record results and lifted 9%. Tonight is packed with US economic data, and tomorrow’s local inflation numbers at 11:30 a.m. will be the major focus, with headline annual inflation expected to push towards 3.9%.

The ASX200 jumped 1.3% on Monday, snapping a week of declines and lifting the index to within 6.5% of its October record high. Tech and industrial stocks led the rise, while energy fell as oil slipped. Notable moves included Qube soaring 19.5% on a $11.6 bn Macquarie offer and DroneShield edging higher despite a steep MTD loss. Investors will watch Wednesday’s inflation print, the US Fed rate decision on 10 Dec, and a busy roster of AGMs later in the week.

Wall Street surged overnight as technology stocks powered higher and rate-cut optimism strengthened, with bond yields falling after dovish comments from Fed officials.

Our very first Investing Diary has landed, and she is the perfect reminder that investing is absolutely for women like us. Before she ever opened an app, she genuinely believed investing was a world reserved for men on Wall Street. Then lockdown hit, the algorithm gods did their thing, and suddenly she was seeing finance content from women who actually looked and sounded like her. One rabbit hole later… her entire money story flipped. What started as curiosity turned into a full investing era. She binged podcasts, graduated from micro investing, and built herself a portfolio with a set-and-forget energy. Then life did what life does. First home. Wedding. New job. So she stepped back from investing and honestly forgot about her portfolio altogether. Two years later she logs back in… and realises it has grown by $20,000 while she invested exactly nothing. Inside this ep, Victoria gets pervy about it all: the ETFs doing the heavy lifting, the direct shares she bought because she could see their value, and the “accidental strategy” that is actually outperforming her partners. This one is proof that you do not need to be a man in a suit on Wall Street to grow your money in the sharemarket. You just need to start.

If you’ve ever heard “managed portfolio” and thought… okay but what actually are they, this one’s for you. We break down what “managed” really means in practice, how they differ from your usual ETF mix, and the moments when outsourcing the mental load might make more sense than being your own fund manager. Then we get into a dilemma that had the whole office screaming: a partner who treats sales season like a competitive sport. The list is long, the logic is loose, and the budget is… trembling. We’re chatting values, boundaries, and how to keep your spending intentional when marketing is doing the absolute most. Plus your favourite money wins, broke tips, and a few chaotic detours along the way. Want to learn how to invest (or just get your money sorted)? Our Bundle Sale is live!

This episode of the Mo Money podcast is about the offset account trap and why banks want you to feel safe. So, we get into the most common mistakes that people make when it comes to their offset accounts, why an offset account feel safe and why that's a problem. We get into a few examples of the impact on your money, of saving money in an offset, versus some of the alternatives that you can do instead, and talk about when an offset makes sense and some of the psychology that sits around this. So, this episode is perfect for anyone that's got an offset and wants to make the most out of their money, or that's thinking about getting into the property market and saving at a decent rate today. Smarter money moves start here. Learn how to cut through the noise, avoid expensive mistakes, and get ahead faster.
