Podcasts about joyful frugalista

Have you ever felt like the cost of living is rising faster than your income—and wondered how anyone is managing to get ahead right now? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Serina Bird—also known as The Joyful Frugalista—who's built a multimillion-dollar portfolio through intentional frugal living and smart investing. She's the author of The Joyful Frugalista and How To Pay Your Mortgage Off in 10 Years (a finalist in the 2024 Australian Business Book Awards), and she's the host of the Joyful Frugalista podcast. Serina proves that frugality doesn't mean going without—it means being values-aligned, community-focused, and intentional with your money. Her approach really resonated with me, especially her belief that true wealth isn't just financial, but emotional, spiritual, and communal. We also explored the mindset behind money goals, the impact of wage stagnation, and how mindful living can bring true abundance. Serina's wisdom comes not only from her financial success but also from her personal journey of resilience and empowerment, making her insights even more powerful. Key Episode Takeaways: Why wage stagnation and housing affordability are prompting more people to explore creative investing and frugal living How frugality is becoming a mindful, sustainable lifestyle—and the surprising benefits of Serina's Buy Nothing challenges How Serina uses clear financial goals to build not just security, but well-being Why community, emotional wealth, and spiritual abundance are just as important as money when it comes to living a rich life.

Discussion with Scott on FIRE, Bob Dae from the Melbourne FIRE Brigade, Captain FI and The Joyful Frugalista about financial independence. Recorded on 4 May 2024 at the FIRESpark 2024 retreat.

When was the last time you asked for a rate review? Rang your energy company? Or changed your NBN plan? Serina Bird (aka The Joyful Frugalista) did all three of these recently and shares how she did it.

For many, reaching FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) is a best case scenario. However, it's even more important to prepare for WORST case scenarios. Investments can crash, interest rates can change, disaster can strike – and without a capacity to adapt, your FIRE could be extinguished. Luckily, that's what this chapter is all about. Join Serina Bird from the Joyful Frugalista as she explores how to build financial resilience for a pre- and post-FIRE life. Her thoughts range from creating an emergency fund; to diversifying your passive income; to keeping abreast of legislative changes that may affect you.  By the chapter's end, you'll feel a little more prepared for the words. Listen to the chapter here, or read it at your leisure on our blog. PearlerStrong Money AustraliaOriginal Aussie FIRE e-book Disclaimer Any advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it's appropriate for you.

This week I'm excited to have Serina Bird join me on the podcast. You may have come across her podcast, The Joyful Frugalista. Serina is here to talk about her new book - How to Pay off your mortgage in 10 years. So if paying off your mortgage is on your to-do list, listen up for some great tips and insights. [Website] [Disclaimer]

Instead of having property loans draining your income for 30 years, imagine paying them off in just a fraction of that time. It's possible, and Serina Bird reveals how.  Serina (who first joined Get Invested back on episode 129) is a finance writer, podcaster and author who is a self-made millionaire who now helps people save money and live more meaningful lives. She is the host of The Joyful Frugalista podcast and author of The Joyful Frugalista and The Joyful Startup Guide. She writes a regular column with Money Magazine that encourages people to spend less and save more (with joy) on the path to financial empowerment. The latest ABS Census confirms that about 35% of Australia's 9.8 million homes are owned with a mortgage, and a recent report indicates that on average, home loaners currently need to spend between 40-45% of their income on mortgage repayments. Now the national average mortgage level has increased by 36% since 2018 to around $600K according to the latest ABS figures, which means that repayments are now about $3,600 dollars each and every month, based on a principle and interest loan at 6% - this is a big chunk of anyone's income. And most Aussies are stuck with this noose around their necks for 25 - 30 years! But as Serina reveals today, it doesn't have to be that way. She says there are a myriad of ways that you can knock big holes in your home loan and pay it off much sooner, without limiting your lifestyle. Don't miss the many practical insights in part 1 of our conversation today. More: Visit: https://joyfulfrugalista.com/ NEW - Join the Property Hub community on Substack!

According to a growing number of Australians, many of whom are millennials, there is more to life than working flat-out, earning and spending, piling on debt, and consuming voraciously. They want financial freedom and more happiness from following their passions and interests by leading a simple life and saving hard to reach early retirement. These people are followers of the popular personal finance FIRE movement - which stands for financial independence, retire early - who save rigorously, invest sensibly, retire in their prime, and enjoy a modest, agreeable life. Many Aussies have drawn inspiration from Canadian born blogger Mr. Money Mustache, who has largely pioneered this way of thinking. It's not about getting rich quick, but taking a measured path with the security of savings. But how much do you need to save, what should your goals ultimately be, and what is the best way to invest? Is this lifestyle right for you? In this episode of Friends With Money, Julia Newbould discusses the FIRE philosophy with Money journalist Susan Hely, who has been following this community since 2018, and two popular finance bloggers on how they have achieved their own financial freedom - Serina Bird, author of The Joyful Frugalista, and Dave who writes the strongmoneyaustralia.com blog.

Hollywood has a lot of bad pregnancy expectations to answer for. You know, the sort which ends in a speedy but horrific labour where she's rushed to the hospital so that she can scream-push a three-month-old baby out of her vagina. Oh, and don't worry about any lasting effects of any trauma she's experienced in the hospital because, cut to the next scene, everyone is living happily ever after. So, that's why in this episode, we're talking about what it means to have an empowered birth instead. We'll be exploring real stories of preparing for childbirth and who to have on your side, so that you have the most unHollywood like experience possible.

Jennie Roberts is a radiologist, a mother of three, a lover of the outdoors, and of team sports.  She is married to psychiatrist husband Kailas Roberts, who has a book coming out next year on dementia.  Jennie's life changed when she received confirmation of a medical diagnosis she had always feared.     Serina met Jennie through The Joyful Frugalista after Jennie bought several copies for herself, family and friends.  Jennie wants to achieve Financial Independence Retire Early so that she can do more.  "Only thing is, I'm not that frugal, so I have to learn.  I'm getting better."

Serina chats with sales coach Misty Henkel about how to overcome being scared to sell so that you can sell yourself (and your products) better.  Misty is author of Overcoming Obscurity: how to get noticed in the marketplace so that you can make more money.  Serina is excited to launch her first her ever course Six Weeks to Abundance with The Joyful Frugalista, starting 8 June.  To sign up, visit her website https://www.joyfulfrugalista.com/shop/ 

Did you ever wonder about the story behind the man who is the voiceover guy on The Joyful Frugalista?  Or why he insists on being called Lord?  Well, I did wonder about the Lord bit so I asked him (spoiler: I'm not yet convinced). But what I am sure of is that he holds a Guinness World Record in archery, he is the Canberra - and Queanbeyan - Town Crier, and he was MC at our wedding reception. If you're sick of doom and gloom news and reporting, pour yourself a glass of wine (or coffee, or tea, or even water) and enjoy this podcast.
