So… what is the magic number you should have when it comes to savings? Is it a neat percentage, a chunky dollar figure, or three months of bills sitting pretty in your account? This week we’re spilling the tea on how to work out your number, so you can stop guessing and start saving with a plan that actually makes sense for your life. Then we chat about what to do when financial advice doesn’t pass the vibe check. A community member was told to merge their life savings with their partner. Cute in theory, terrifying in practice. So, what do you do when the “experts” say one thing but your gut says absolutely not? We’re pulling apart the red flags, the real questions to ask, and why protecting yourself is the ultimate power move. And because it’s Friday, you know the chaos is here too: money wins (like a $340 dress scored for $80), broke tips that actually slap, and a ferret side hustle we did not see coming. Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats? Check out our oh-so-bingeable Friday Drinks playlist. Listen here.

Stewart Hamilton is 12 months into his role as CEO of Mercury NZ—and despite a record-dry year and a dip in earnings, he's forecasting a billion-dollar 2026. In this episode, he lays out what’s next for Mercury and its investors. How are Mercury and other big players teaming up to secure NZ’s troubled power supply—and are they forming an energy "cartel" in the eyes of the Commerce Commission? Would breaking up the big energy gentailers help make electricity affordable, or is the current model more efficient? Does the Government’s stake in Mercury create a conflict of interest? Hear about the "renaissance" of geothermal energy, Mercury’s focus on new generation projects, and the role New Zealand could play in training AI.

Ever wondered how people actually know when it’s time to quit, pivot, or back themselves in a huge career move? Well Michelle Battersby's career was made on those moves. She ditched her safe banking job to launch unkown dating app Bumble in Australia, co-founded her own tech company Sunroom (and sold it while pregnant), and even walked away from an “end-of-career” salary because her gut told her no. This episode is her playbook on doing the scary thing and landing on your feet... plus the inside scoop on Fanfix snapping up Sunroom and what she’s plotting next.Michelle shares:

In this episode I chat with Michael Kemp, author of three investment books—Creating Real Wealth, Uncommon Sense, and The Ulysses Contract. Our conversation was inspired by Michael's presentation at the 2025 Australian Shareholders Association conference, diving deeply into the quirks of human psychology and how they shape our investing decisions. Our brains are wired for survival in a prehistoric world, often leading us astray in modern financial markets. Michael pointed out that our ancestors needed to make snap judgments to avoid becoming a predator's lunch. This instinct to form quick beliefs based on minimal evidence was life-saving back then but can be disastrous for investors today.Blog post available at:https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/michael-kemp-real-wealthWatch on YouTubeLevel up your investing with Sharesight, Investopedia's #1 portfolio tracker for DIY investors.

Have you ever had to say no to something you couldn’t afford... and it completely changed your life? This week’s Money Diarist has. She was literally ranked top 10 in the world as a professional athlete… while earning less than $20k a year. (Yep, you heard that right. Top 10 in the world, but that's all she was paid). Backed by her powerhouse single mum, she trained, studied, worked odd jobs, and poured everything into her sport, until the moment came to head to Europe to compete and the price tag was just too high. That no changed everything. Fast forward to today and her money story looks very different. She’s swapped early morning training for a six-figure 9–5, added a pilates side hustle and has gone through a casual financial glow-up.

Is it really a money hack if it leaves you wondering whether you’re saving money… or just signing up for a fancier kind of debt? This week, we’re unpacking the financial mystery that is the novated lease & whether they’re a money win or just marketing spin. We cover how they work, when they make sense, and the sneaky traps to watch out for. Then we spiral (in the best way) into the classic quarter-life crisis: passion vs pay cheque. A community member is tempted to swap her secure, well-paying job for a career that lights her up and promises all the shiny lifestyle perks... but with kids in the mix, the pay cut comes with a whole extra layer of complexity. So of course we had to give our two cents and ask the rest of the community for theirs too. And because it’s Friday, we’ve got all your favourites; money wins from our incredible community, broke tips you’ll actually want to steal, and a healthy dose of chaos to wrap your week right!PSA: If you want to treat yourself to the $60 facial we raved about from L’Occitane... here’s the link. You won’t regret it. And don't forget the $60 is redeemable on face care products on the day. Money win! Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats?

Do we need to slash interest rates even further to get the economy going? Jarrod Kerr, Kiwibank Chief Economist, reckons the Reserve Bank needs to do more.

You know Victoria Devine as your finance hype girl… but for the first time ever, she’s sharing the part of her story you’ve never heard. The one where she was $40k in debt, lying awake at night wondering how on earth she’d dig herself out, and how she turned it all around. This week, we’re going behind the scenes of V’s own money glow-up. How she went from maxed-out cards and money anxiety to complete financial freedom, and she’s not holding back. You’ll get the exact mindset shifts, money moves, and game-changing lessons she used, so you can steal them for yourself. Inside her debt-free playbook:
Qantas has copped a record $90 million fine for its illegal sackings of staff…and more than half of the money is going straight to the union. CSL, the Aussie biotech, is cutting almost 3000 staff globally, as part of the biggest shake-up of the last decade. Soho House, the members club, is going private again after battling in the public markets for the past 4 years. _ Learn more about iShares by BlackRock here Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStore Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.

Women need to work 50 extra days just to earn what men made last financial year… and today, August 19, marks those extra days. It’s called Equal Pay Day, and in this special bonus episode Victoria is joined by Dr Samone McCurdy from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency to unpack the reality of the gender pay gap. But don’t worry, this isn’t your average “boring stats” chat. This is one of those conversations that’s equal parts frustrating, eye-opening, and empowering… the kind that’ll fire you up to demand better for yourself and for every woman who comes after you. Inside this ep:
What would you do if after your wedding you found out your husband was hiding $40,000 of secret debt? Well, this week's Money Diarist rolled up her sleeves, worked two jobs to pay it off… only for him to leave her afterwards. But plot twist: it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to her. From financial betrayal to an unexpected glow-up, today’s diary has it all. Career wins, seriously good money habits, and the kind of second-chance love story that proves the boy you sat next to in primary school might just turn out to be your financial dream man. It’s messy, it’s funny, and it’s proof that sometimes life has bigger (and better) plans for your money than the ones you first signed up for.

If it looks like an MLM and quacks like an MLM… is it an MLM? That's the big dilemma our community member needs help with this week. Her brother is obsessed with a “self-development program” that’s apparently changing his life (and draining his bank account). Now he’s trying to sign up the rest of the family, and it's giving MLM vibes. Then we’re jumping into another all-too-relatable situation: being the financially responsible one in a relationship. You’re saving for a shared goal, they’re spending big elsewhere. How do you get on the same page without turning into the budget police?

Ever dreamed about walking out of your 9–5 and building something completely different... something that changes your life and other people’s? This week’s Money Diarist actually did something exactly that. She walked away from the kind of job that makes you watch the clock, stepped into an industry most women don’t even look twice at… and turned it into a seven-figure business. Yep. Seven. Figures. Now she’s using that success to bring more women into the fold, helping them build skills, confidence, and the kind of “I can handle anything” energy you can take anywhere. We chat about the hustle, the hiccups, the debt-free dream home plan, and (because why not) her future holiday house overseas. If you’ve ever thought “I could never do that,” you might after this.

What do you do when your financial goals clash with the people closest to you? This week, we’re diving into the messy, emotional side of shared finances, from property co-ownership drama to parenting across two households with totally different money vibes. First up: one listener is trying to build a future with her partner, but there’s a major catch... he owns a home with his sister, and she’s not ready to move on. We unpack what happens when family, finances, and real estate get tangled, and how to protect your relationship (and your sanity) when it’s time to move forward. Then, we get into a dilemma so many of you will relate to: how do you teach kids good money habits when they’re growing up between two completely different financial worlds? We talk boundaries, budgeting, and how to raise financially savvy humans without starting a family feud. Plus, we’ve got everything you need to kick off your weekend right: Your favourite money wins and confessions, broke tips you'll want to steal and all the unhinged chats you love.

Following the record-breaking session yesterday, the market seems to have taken a breather today. Laura and Stevie reflect on the session, and tariffs continue to make headlines as a number of them come into play today. The sectors saw mixed performance locally with financials being dragged by the ASX amid recent criticism, Newscorp gained attention following their earnings data, and they look to the day ahead with US earnings season continuing.

Wall Street closed lower as rising rates and weak bond demand pressured markets. Treasury yields rose after soft bond auction results, dragging equities down. Healthcare stocks declined, with Eli Lilly falling on disappointing weight-loss drug data. Tech also struggled, with Fortinet plunging over 20% after a weak refresh cycle. Meanwhile, Trump announced tariffs on imported chips and urged Intel’s CEO to resign, unsettling the semiconductor space. In commodities, oil fell on news of a planned Trump-Putin meeting, easing geopolitical tensions. Elsewhere, the Bank of England cut rates to 4% in response to cooling inflation. Back home, Aussie shares are tracking lower for the week, though QBE is expected to report higher profits despite yield headwinds.

When the options are overwhelming and the markets are choppy, are ETFs the answer? Bryce Leske from Equity Mates tells us why exchange-traded funds have become central to his investing strategy, and how they can help investors get past the ‘paradox of choice’ and sleep better at night. Bryce covers the basics on how ETFs work, how they’re different from traditional shares, and why he believes in them. We explore fund categories from classic index funds to thematic ETFs that focus on trends like AI or cryptocurrency. Find out how to choose an ETF that fits your strategy, and why it's important to pay attention to the management fees, not the share price.

Wall Street rebounded overnight as investors digested a wave of corporate earnings. Apple helped lift the Nasdaq, boosted by optimism around increased investment in domestic manufacturing. McDonald’s shares rose after the fast food giant returned to sales growth, thanks to popular budget meal deals. Yet not all earnings impressed. AMD slipped as China concerns overshadowed its upbeat AI outlook while Walt Disney also dropped, forecasting lower earnings ahead. Match Group announced a $50 million investment, citing a rosy outlook for the online dating market. In commodities, oil prices slid to an eight-week low on continued uncertainty around US-Russia relations. Back home, the ASX is expected to ease from record highs, as falling commodity prices weigh on local shares.

Wanna know the #1 thing rich people do differently? It’s not their salary. It’s not their savings. It’s their mindset... and it’s learnable.

What happens when life changes in an instant, and the world expects you to carry on? This week’s Money Diarist had everything in motion: a new home with a pool, $40k in savings, a baby on the way, and a backyard wedding just around the corner. But days before she was meant to walk down the aisle, she faced the unimaginable: her daughter was stillborn. In this deeply personal and courageous conversation, she opens up about what came next; grappling with grief, navigating systems that weren’t built for moments like this, and trying to stay afloat when everything felt like it was sinking. From Centrelink confusion and being forced back to work too soon, to finding moments of light in Taylor Swift concerts, this is a story of love, loss, and learning how to begin again.

How do you know when it’s time to sell a property? Whether it’s your investment, your starter home, or just the one with the dodgy plumbing that won’t stop haunting you, this week we’re diving into a dilemma one listener’s facing: is it smarter to cash out now, or hold on and hope for the best? We unpack what actually makes a property worth keeping, when it’s smarter to cut your losses, and how to weigh up the financial stress against the long-game payoff... without losing your sanity (or your savings) in the process. Then, we get into a spicy little debate courtesy of another DM: can you say you’re “broke” when you have savings but you're just out of "fun money"? We're talking the emotional side of money language and why “broke” means different things to different people. Plus we've got you favourite money wins and confessions, broke tips nd enough financial chaos to carry you straight through the weekend. Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats?
