Podcasts about On the Money

While V’s away, we’re bringing you some cheeky Broke Tips plus your marvellous Money Wins of the week. Budgeting boundaries, financially outgrowing your friends, and what actually makes a fry a fry (when it’s really a chip), join us as we cover all the important topics.

Energy has quickly become one of the biggest market stories of 2026 and its impact is spreading beyond gas prices.  In this episode of The Important Part: Investing with Liz Thomas, Liz sits down with DrivePath Advisors energy specialist and former Bloomberg anchor Alix Steel to unpack the ripple effects of the global energy shock that's reshaping everything from inflation and AI to geopolitics and supply chains. Steel explains why the market may still be underestimating the long-term consequences of disruptions in the Middle East, how energy insecurity is forcing countries and companies to rethink the way they operate, and why the next phase of the AI boom could depend less on chips and more on infrastructure. The pair also discuss why oil prices have behaved so strangely during this volatile period, what investors are missing about renewables, and what the next phase of this sector has in store.

This week's Money Diary feels a little bit like proof that where you start doesn't have to determine where you end up. She grew up in a tiny village in Eastern Europe in the aftermath of communism, where family holidays weren't a thing, money was scarce, and the future often looked a lot like the past. But even as a kid, she couldn't stop wondering what was on the other side of the horizon. At 16, she won a scholarship that changed everything. A few years later, she arrived in Australia with just $20 to her name, planning to stay for 12 months before heading back to university in the UK. Instead, she met the man who would become her husband after he quite literally washed up next to her on a beach. Eighteen years later, they're raising two children on the Gold Coast, have turned a modest beach shack into a property worth around $1.7 million, and she's built a dog-sitting side hustle that's on track to bring in $40,000 this year alongside her part-time career. But what I loved most about this conversation wasn't the property story or even the side hustle. It was the way she thinks about money. From collecting bottles to teach her kids about saving, to creating flexibility around family life, to constantly finding creative ways to make money work harder, she's built a life that looks completely different to the one she grew up expecting.

Companies are staying private longer. Retail investors have more access than ever. And when companies like SpaceX or OpenAI eventually go public, they could become major tests for how today's IPO market actually works. In this episode of The Important Part, Liz Thomas sits down with Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish and former president of the New York Stock Exchange. Farley watched roughly 600 companies go public during his time at the NYSE, including Alibaba, Snap and Spotify. But when he took Bullish public himself, he says he saw the process from an entirely different angle. Liz and Tom discuss why the IPO market has changed, what retail investors are bringing to the table, and why some companies may still see public markets as a source of credibility, liquidity and long-term opportunity. They also get into blockchain, tokenized securities, and whether the plumbing of modern finance could look very different in the years ahead. Subscribe to The Important Part for smarter conversations about markets, investing and the forces shaping your financial future.

Skincare, makeup, and beauty treatments. When did they first pop up on our spending radar and why? This week’s Deep Dive gets a little… deep. Bec and Jess discuss the cost of beauty standards: who sets them, sustains them, and how we might look at the whole topic with a raised (and sometimes fluffed) eyebrow. Because, whether you overtly subscribe to them or not, beauty standards don’t just affect folks who love a trend, they have the tendency to impact our spending habits and perceptions of value, and even our self worth. And it’s not just women either, just consider the whole looksmaxxing thing. Between the double standards, unrealistic expectations, and self-expression of it all, how have our perceptions around beauty shifted and what are we really buying into? From body hair to full-coverage foundation and the rituals of getting ready, tune in if you’ve ever wondered what we really think about the price of pretty, how we’re feeling about ‘preventative’ measures, and which standards we’re willing to bin at our next earliest convenience. Should we share what our community actually spends on beauty products? Let us know in the comments.

This week's Money Diary is proof that earning more money doesn't automatically make you feel secure. Growing up, she was constantly worried about money. Not because her family was struggling, but because she'd picked up on snippets of conversations and quietly convinced herself there was never enough. So she did what a lot of us do. She worked hard. Really hard. She got her first job at 14, worked multiple jobs through uni, saved obsessively and thought financial security would come from earning more. But after graduating and looking closely at her spending for the first time, she realised something surprising: the problem wasn't how much she earned. It was how little attention she was paying to where it was going. Fast forward to today and she's investing in ETFs, saving around $2,000 a week, planning to buy her first property, and building wealth with far more confidence than she ever thought possible. This conversation is about scarcity mindset, the stories we inherit about money, and what happens when you finally stop being scared of it.

On The Money!

They’re in the same role as you, have less experience and are somehow being paid more? A whopping $25k more. So, are you being underpaid or simply not asking for what you’re really worth? On this week’s Friday Drinks, we’re covering career-coded Money Dilemmas. One person asks whether it’s ever worth it to stay in a job you love, even if it means taking longer to reach your money goals. And someone’s being underpaid! Or are they? With a less-experienced colleague being paid more for the same role, this community member asks whether they’ve missed their moment to ask for a raise – or if they’re simply being underpaid by a whole $25k. From knowing your worth to knowing your values, this episode is nothing to sniff at. A big thankyou to the team at eBay for sponsoring this episode!

Public markets may dominate the headlines, but some of the biggest investing opportunities may be happening where most investors aren't looking. In this episode of The Important Part: Investing with Liz Thomas, Anastasia Amoroso, Chief Investment Strategist at Partners Group, joins Liz to unpack the rapid rise of private markets. From private equity to private credit, Amoroso breaks down why investors may be underestimating just how much value creation is happening outside the stock market. She explains why companies are staying private longer, how AI is reshaping both software and lending markets, and why the next phase of innovation may never hit public exchanges at all. Watch or listen to this episode to learn about some of the headwinds facing private credit and why “innovate or die” may become the defining theme of the AI era.

A little heads up before you press play: this episode contains conversations about financial abuse and coercive control. It’s an incredibly important conversation, but please look after yourself while listening. This week’s Money Diary is raw in a way I don’t think I was fully prepared for. At 21, she fell in love with an older man and slowly built a life around him. Over time, she gave up uni, stopped working, helped raise his children, and handed over control of her finances without really realising how much of herself she was losing in the process. What started as “he’s just better with money” slowly became something much darker. By the end of the relationship, she was working unpaid for his business, questioning her own worth constantly, and living in a situation so controlling that she had her own fridge in the garage because she’d been made to feel like a burden. And still… she didn’t call it financial abuse at the time. After 14 years, one moment finally pushed her to leave. She packed up her dog, moved back in with her parents, got a new job, started learning about money for herself, and began rebuilding from scratch. Now she has a growing investment portfolio, a $50k house deposit, and something even bigger than that: independence. This conversation is heartbreaking, hopeful and honestly incredibly important. Because financial abuse rarely starts with one giant red flag. Most of the time, it happens slowly… until one day you realise you don’t recognise yourself anymore.

Spoiler: ETFs aren’t that deep. So why are so many of us (okay, you) still so intimidated by them when it comes to investing? On this week’s Deep Dive, Bec and Victoria cover the acronym that’s causing a stir in our comments section. Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs are just one of the ways that many Aussies are investing, and for good reason too. They’re a bundle of shares that give you some healthy exposure to a range of companies, industries and asset classes that you mightn't have otherwise. In this episode, we’ll cover what ETFs are, how they work, and why they’re such a compelling investment option. Thanks to our episode partners Sharesies, we’ll show you how to get started on their platform, as well as which ETFs have risen in popularity in recent times (and why!). From percentages to performance, common mistakes and money tips, learn how to make your money work harder for you with ETFs.

This week’s Money Diary is one of those “wait… this is actually so relatable” conversations. She’s a newly admitted lawyer who spent years living paycheck to paycheck while studying, prioritising travel over investing and genuinely having no idea what an ETF even was. Fast forward a few years and life suddenly got very expensive, very quickly. An apartment. A wedding. A honeymoon. Another holiday. A puppy. Moving costs. Furniture. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, she and her husband had the slightly nauseating realisation that they’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year… without really stopping to think about where any of it was actually going. And honestly? I think a lot of people will see themselves in this one. We talk about the pressure to buy property because everyone else is doing it, the reality of owning an apartment with brutal body corporate fees, lifestyle creep, ADHD hyper-fixation becoming an unexpected budgeting superpower, and what happened when she finally sat down and looked at her finances properly. Now she’s investing 40% of her income, building a portfolio she actually understands, and rethinking what financial security is supposed to look like in the first place. This one feels a little bit like a group chat with your financially self-aware friends. Slightly chaotic. Slightly confronting. But in the best way.

Okay… this one still feels a bit surreal to say out loud. Right after the federal budget dropped, I sat down with Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher to ask the questions our She’s on the Money community actually wants answered. We covered a lot. We spoke about housing affordability, negative gearing, capital gains tax changes, childcare costs, women’s health, paid parental leave, fuel prices, the gender pay gap and what the government is actually doing about the cost of living pressure Australians are feeling right now. We also had a really honest conversation about why the government changed its position on negative gearing, and whether politicians genuinely understand how financially stretched people are feeling. But because this is still She’s on the Money… things also went slightly off the rails. We somehow ended up talking about ChatGPT, Bluey, subscription creep, the Met Gala, free McDonald’s burgers, sourdough, single people being forgotten by the system, and the Prime Minister’s thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit choices. Which, to be fair, was not where I expected budget week to go. If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

Right after the federal budget dropped, I sat down with some of Australia’s most powerful ministers and political voices to ask the questions our community actually cares about. Not the polished political talking points… the real stuff. Housing affordability, childcare costs, rising bills, negative gearing, fuel prices, domestic violence support, women’s financial security and whether Australians are genuinely better off after this budget. Across this bonus episode, I speak with Housing Minister Clare O'Neil, Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek, Infrastructure Minister Catherine King, Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Independent MP Monique Ryan about what this budget actually means for Australians trying to buy homes, leave violent relationships, pay power bills, raise kids and build financial security in an economy that feels increasingly hard to keep up with. We also get into the politics behind negative gearing reform, whether the government has gone far enough on housing, why childcare still feels impossible for so many women, and what politicians really think when Australians say their paychecks simply aren’t stretching anymore. Some of their answers genuinely surprised me. Hi friend, we’re She’s on the Money, an Australian finance podcast here to help you feel more confident with your money.

The federal budget has dropped… and Australians have opinions. So Victoria sat down with Australia’s Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, immediately after the budget announcement to ask the questions everyone actually wants answered. From negative gearing and capital gains tax changes to the cost of living crisis, fuel prices, housing affordability, tax cuts and why blueberries suddenly cost what feels like a small mortgage repayment. They also get into the political backlash surrounding the budget, why the government changed its position on housing tax reform, whether Canberra is disconnected from how tough things feel financially right now, and what Treasurer Chalmers says Australians fundamentally misunderstand about the federal budget. There’s also unexpected chat about ChatGPT, air fryers, pocket money, coffee machines, influencers, and what it actually feels like to hand down a budget while the internet calls you “The Jim Reaper.” If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

This episode is what happens when financial planning and family planning have a baby. Why is it that egg-freezing and IVF feel like buzzwords; distant things that are only relevant once we (or the people we care about) start to consider the options? This changes now.

The Medical Director at NewLife IVF has helped people to conceive and grow families for the last 20 years.

The federal budget officially dropped at 7:30pm tonight, but we recorded this episode from inside Budget Lock-Up BEFORE the rest of the country got their hands on it. At 6pm, while the internet was still speculating and journalists were speed-reading hundreds of pages of announcements and fine print, we sat down inside Parliament House to unpack the headlines we think actually matter to our community. Victoria is joined by Glen James from Money Money Money and Vince Scully from Retire Right, who also happens to own our financial services licence, which you’d think would mean we’d be on our best behaviour… but unfortunately that’s not what happened. Together, we break down:• the negative gearing and CGT changes everyone’s about to argue about• what the tax cuts actually mean for your wallet• housing affordability and first home buyers• women’s health funding• cost-of-living relief• and why the global oil crisis is suddenly impacting Australian households Plus, we had a cameo appearance from Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance herself. This episode is landing slightly later than we planned because the audio quality wasn’t where we wanted it to be and after surviving Budget Lock-Up, the least we could do was make sure it didn’t sound like we recorded it through a microwave.

Have you ever thought, “maybe I’ve missed my chance.” This weeks diarist started uni three separate times and dropped out every single one. Worked 50-hour weeks in retail management for minimum wage. Genuinely believed that without a degree, there was a limit to what she’d ever earn or achieve. Relatable. Then life happened. A baby. A relocation. A partner changing careers. Another baby. A mortgage. A massive amount of imposter syndrome. But somewhere in the middle of all of that, she met a leader who saw something in her before she could fully see it herself… and everything started to shift. Now she’s 33, earning $140k in HR with no degree, investing for the first time, raising two kids, navigating a very real mortgage, and trying to work out how anyone affords dining chairs without having a small emotional breakdown. This conversation felt really honest. Not in a “perfect with money” way. More in a “figuring it out while life is happening” kind of way.

On The Money!

You know when you meet someone younger than you and think… oh. You’re doing money better than I was. That’s this week’s Money Diary. She’s 21, still at uni, working multiple jobs and quietly building a six-figure portfolio. Not loudly, not perfectly… just consistently. Working in luxury retail, she’s watching people her age spend entire paychecks while she’s investing hers instead. Which, honestly, says a lot. This one isn’t about perfection. It’s about starting early, thinking differently, and what that can actually turn into. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

Finding it hard to keep your cool when share prices are plummeting? Tap ‘play’ for instant relief from hasty portfolio decisions. In this week’s Friday Drinks, we’re reminding one wary investor of how it pays to stay level-headed when the sharemarket has you feeling off-kilter. If you too are wondering if you should sell your shares during an economic downturn, this episode may have you reconsidering things. The DM gods have delivered! This week we discuss a destination wedding-themed dilemma that questions how much you should gift a family member, if you’re already attending their very expensive overseas wedding. And, yes, we cover whether they’ve specified, ‘no gifts expected’. And whether they mean it. Plus, Jess will be sharing Money Wins from within the community and Bec’s got Broke Tips to help push your dollar further. This week’s Question of the Week? Guess you (and your pet) will have to tune in to find out…

Did you know that out of 30 companies in any given VC fund, only one or two clear a billion dollars in value? That's not a failure rate…that's the whole model. In this episode, Alexa von Tobel, founder of LearnVest and managing partner of Inspired Capital, pulls back the curtain on the asset class that quietly built some of the biggest fortunes of the last two decades. She breaks down exactly how venture capital works, why lockup periods can stretch to 20 years, and what she looks for in that 0.01% of founders worth betting on. She also shares why the biggest white spaces in innovation right now have nothing to do with the next flashy app. If you've ever wondered whether venture capital belongs in your portfolio, or what it actually takes to build a billion-dollar company from a napkin, this is the episode to start with.

The cash rate. It’s up. It’s down. Honestly, it’s giving ‘chaos’ when it comes to our everyday spending. Almost as if the cash rate rules everything around us… In this week’s Deep Dive, we’re taking on the RBA; who they are, what they do, and how they call the shots when it comes to the cash rate. We’ll explain how often they meet, what facts influence their rate decisions and how to be more financially prepared for whatever they throw at us. Because whether you’re investing, running a business, looking for a job or simply trying to get by, the cash rate impacts us all. Consider this episode a cheat sheet for what the Reserve Bank of Australia actually looks like and how to read the signs before the notifications roll in. We’re covering all the gory details including: inflation data, unemployment rates, wage growth, everyday spending, housing prices and how global factors impact our economy. With real life examples, plus savvy money moves you can make to help prepare for the shifts, this episode will help you finally make sense of it all. So, if you’ve been a bit mystified by the RBA, how they decide on our cash rate, and why those rates might cause celebration or commiseration, this episode’s for you.

She went from owing money to everyone… to building her dream home. This week’s Money Diary is a story about starting over. After having kids and going through a separation, she found herself navigating life as a single mum on one income, with the kind of financial pressure that leaves no room for error. But instead of staying stuck, she rebuilt. New mindset, new boundaries, and a completely different approach to money and relationships. Now she’s earning six figures in sales, has a deposit ready, and is about to start building her home. We get into what actually changed, how she approached money the second time around, and why being honest about finances early on made all the difference. It’s a reminder that your money story isn’t fixed… even if it feels like it is. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

Be honest… are you actually spending more, or does it just feel that way?In this week’s Friday Drinks, we’re unpacking the very real confusion between lifestyle creep and the rising cost of literally everything. If you’ve looked at your bank account lately and thought “how am I spending this much when I’m not even doing anything outrageous?”… this one’s for you.We’re also diving into a DM that hits a little close to home. What happens when you’re the one making all the financial decisions in your relationship… not because you want to control everything, but because your partner just isn’t interested? How do you get them involved without turning into the nag, and how do you stop carrying the guilt?Plus, as always: Jess brings the community money wins Bec delivers broke tips that actually work (especially if you’re in your “survival week” era) And we answer your Question of the Week, which might make you feel very seen…

If you’ve opened your investing app lately and immediately closed it again… this one’s for you. The share market has been all over the place, headlines are talking about global uncertainty, and it’s very easy to feel like you should be doing something with your investments or your superannuation right now. So let’s talk about it. Victoria and Bec break down what’s actually driving the market movements, what’s behind the recent drops, and how global events are flowing through to Australia and your portfolio. And more importantly… what to do next. Because when the market dips, the instinct to panic, sell your investments, or switch your super to something “safer” can feel like the right move… but it’s often the most expensive one. If you’ve been wondering what to do when the market drops, or feeling unsure about your investing strategy right now, this will help you make sense of it and feel a whole lot calmer about what comes next.

This week’s Money Diary is from a 31-year-old nurse who fell pregnant at 30… while single and working 70-hour weeks. At the time, money wasn’t the problem. She was earning well, picking up shifts, saying yes to everything and just getting on with life. But there wasn’t much structure behind it. It was busy, but not necessarily intentional. And then everything shifted. Not because she didn’t have enough, but because she suddenly had a reason to think about money differently. To slow down, to plan, and to actually build something that could support her and her child. This episode isn’t about starting from scratch. It’s about taking what you already have and learning how to use it properly. It’s about stepping into a new version of your life, ready or not, and figuring it out as you go. It’s honest, it’s a little bit messy, and it’s a really powerful reminder that you don’t need everything perfectly mapped out to make it work. Sometimes it’s not about earning more. It’s about getting intentional with what you’ve already got. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

This week’s Friday Drinks starts off fun… and ends in absolute chaos. Because what do you do when you get headhunted and try to negotiate your salary, only for it to completely backfire? Job offer gone. Pay rise denied. And now you’re stuck wondering if being honest at work just worked against you. We definitely had some opinions.As always, we also unpack a DM from someone in our community who found themselves in exactly that situation, and it opens up a bigger conversation about loyalty, transparency, and knowing your worth. Because in theory, you did everything ‘right’ but the outcome says otherwise.Before we spiral (in a productive way), we also get into a Money Dilemma that feels very relatable if you’ve ever dipped your toe into investing. What happens when you realise you might be doubling up on ETFs? Same underlying investments, different funds, and suddenly you’re questioning everything. We break down what’s actually going on there, what “hedged” really means, and whether this is something you need to fix or just part of the learning curve.There’s also the usual Friday Drinks chaos. Jess shares Money Wins that prove the small things really do add up, Bec’s got Broke Tips that are equal parts clever and questionable, and a conversation about what we’d all do if money genuinely didn’t matter, which tells you more about us than it probably should.If you’ve ever second-guessed a money decision, questioned your job, or wondered if you played something wrong, this one’s going to feel all too familiar.

If you’ve been feeling like you need to make a bit more money right now… this episode is for you. This week, Jess and Bec are getting nosy (in the best way) and diving into the real side hustles our community is using to bring in extra cash. And not the usual “fill out surveys” kind of advice… actual, clever ideas that are working. From people turning small ideas into proper income streams, to flexible gigs you can start on the side of your 9–5, this episode is full of inspiration if you’re trying to get ahead or just want a little more breathing room in your budget. Some of these are surprisingly simple. Some are a bit more creative. All of them will make you think, “okay… I could actually do that.” If you’ve ever said “I should probably get a side hustle” but didn’t know where to start… this is a very good place to begin.

What actually happens when you start investing… and just figure it out as you go? In this week’s Investing Diary, we’re chatting to a Money Bee who has been on a full journey over the last four years. Blue chip stocks, trying to time the market, accidentally buying multiple ETFs that all hold the same companies… nothing has been off limits. It’s the kind of story that will make you feel a lot better about your own investing decisions. We talk about what it looked like starting out with a $10,000 head start, how confidence can quickly turn into “I can outsmart the market” energy, and the moment you realise your strategy might not be as solid as you thought. There’s also a really real conversation about ETFs and diversification, especially when you think you’re spreading your investments… but you’re actually doubling up without realising. Plus, we get into the emotional side of investing, like watching your portfolio move up and down, and how to stay consistent when everything feels a bit chaotic. We also cover the practical side of things, including choosing an investing platform, the differences between CMC and Sharesies, and why automating your investments can be the thing that keeps you on track long term. This episode is relatable, a little bit chaotic, and genuinely helpful. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing investing right” or felt unsure about your strategy, you’re going to see yourself in this one.

This week’s Friday Drinks is a little bit rogue… and we’re not mad about it. We’re diving into a money dilemma from someone earning a very impressive income… but feeling completely burnt out, overwhelmed, and stuck. Think multiple mortgages, a business, big financial commitments, and the very real question of “how do I change my life when everything depends on this income?” It’s a conversation about burnout, lifestyle creep, financial pressure, and what happens when your income grows… but so do your responsibilities. We also get into a DM that has us asking: is a gift really a gift if it costs you money to use it? Because while a surprise trip sounds generous in theory… it hits a little differently when you’re the one footing the bill for flights, food and everything in between. Plus, as always, we’re sharing your community money wins (including a very satisfying warranty moment and a first-time investor win), and broke tips that are equal parts clever and chaotic. If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, financially committed to the point of stress, or quietly annoyed at a “gift” that wasn’t really a gift… this one’s going to hit.

If you’ve opened your phone this week and seen headlines about billions or even trillions being “wiped” from the share market… this episode is for you. Because yes, it sounds dramatic. And yes, it can feel a little bit scary. But also… it’s not exactly what you think is happening. In this week’s Deep Dive, we’re unpacking what’s actually going on when the market drops, why the news makes it sound so much worse than it is, and what you should be thinking about instead of panic selling everything and calling it a day. We talk about why the share market is basically just one big emotional girl, how global events like interest rates and oil prices flow through to your portfolio, and why uncertainty makes investors act a little bit unhinged. There’s also a really important distinction between a market “correction” and a full blown crash… because they are not the same thing, no matter what the headlines are telling you. We also get into the part that actually matters. What do you do when your portfolio is down? Why selling in a panic can leave you worse off, and how long term investors think about moments like this instead. This is the episode you need if you’ve ever opened your investing app, seen red, and immediately questioned every decision you’ve ever made.

What happens when you hit rock bottom with money… and decide to completely turn your life around? In this week’s Money Diary, we meet a She’s on the Money community member who left home at just 16, became a young single mum, and found herself living below the poverty line with no financial literacy, mounting debt and her power literally being cut off. Fast forward to today… she’s built a career in banking, earns $95,000 a year, owns her home, has repaired her credit score and is now investing for her future. This is a story about resilience, rebuilding and what it really looks like to go from financial chaos to financial confidence. Plus, we talk budgeting, credit cards, investing strategies and how to take control of your money even when you feel completely overwhelmed. If you’ve ever felt behind, ashamed of your money situation, or unsure where to start… this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to turn things around.

It’s a Jess and Bec takeover this week (while V is still on mat leave… but don’t worry, she’s back very soon

If you’ve ever looked at your bank account after booking a holiday and thought… “well, that was financially irresponsible” — this episode is for you. In this week’s Deep Dive, we’re talking all things travel and money. Because yes, you absolutely deserve to see the world… but ideally without coming home to financial chaos. We’re breaking down the smartest (and slightly underrated) ways to save money on travel without sacrificing the experience. Think less “skip the holiday” and more “travel smarter, not poorer.” We chat: How to find the cheapest time to travel (and why timing matters more than you think) The flight booking tricks that can literally save you hundreds Why where you book your flights from can change the price (yes, really) The “Goldilocks window” for booking flights so you don’t overpay How to rebook hotels when prices drop and lock in better deals The apps and tools that can score you discounted meals while travelling How to avoid sneaky international fees and currency traps Budget accommodation hacks that aren’t grim (including a genius uni dorm trick) And the small, realistic habits that can save you hundreds over a single trip Because travel isn’t a bad money goal. In fact, research shows spending on experiences actually makes us happier. But going into debt for it? Not the vibe. This episode is your permission slip to book the trip… and your game plan to do it in a way your future self will thank you for.

If you think being made redundant would completely derail your finances… this week’s Money Diary might change your mind. Our diarist is a 32-year-old mum of two who’s worked hard since childhood, built a strong corporate career… and then had her world flipped upside down. A serious injury, two redundancies in one year, and some very big financial decisions, all happening at once. But instead of playing it safe, she did something else. She backed herself. From launching a brand-new business (that’s already turning a profit), to buying a $400k property with 100 acres and a creek running through it, this is a story about resilience, strategy and redefining what financial success actually looks like. We chat: What it’s really like to be made redundant… twice How she went from corporate marketing to launching her own business The reality of starting a business with young kids (and a lot on the line) Selling shares to fund big life goals Building wealth outside of the “traditional” Sydney property dream And the mindset shift from working hard… to working smart This episode is equal parts practical and inspiring, and a reminder that sometimes the thing that feels like a setback… is actually the start of something much bigger. If you’ve ever wondered “could I actually do something different?”… this one’s for you. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

V is back in the studio (and yes… she brought Cami along for a very cute cam(i?)o because apparently she couldn’t stay away). If you hear any cute baby noises throughout the episode, this time it isn't Bec! This week we’re getting into two questions that feel very “this could go really well… or really not.” First up, a dilemma we know so many of you are quietly thinking about. Should you ever sell your shares to fund a house deposit? We break down when it might make sense, what you’re potentially giving up, and how to think about the trade-off between investing and getting into the property market. Then, a DM from the community that had us all leaning in. Is buying an investment property with family a smart financial move… or a disaster waiting to happen? We’re talking boundaries, expectations, legal structures and what can go wrong (because let’s be honest, money and family can get complicated very quickly). It’s practical, a little bit spicy, and exactly the kind of conversation you want to have before you make a big financial decision.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of what’s actually going on in the share market right now… this is your cheat sheet. In this week’s Deep Dive, we’re getting into the investing trends that defined 2025. Where the money actually went, what investors were prioritising, and what it all says about how people were really feeling about their finances last year. We’re talking: The ETF boom (and why everyone and their group chat is suddenly investing in them) The shift from “growth at all costs” to diversification, income and a little bit of caution What’s actually going on when people start moving into bonds, debt funds and so-called “defensive” assets The industries that quietly (and not so quietly) delivered huge returns… hello mining and precious metals And the standout stocks that had everyone talking, including one Aussie company that shot up over 300% We also break it all down in plain English. No jargon, no gatekeeping, just a clear look at what’s changed and why it matters for you. Because while it’s fun to look at the 300% and 500% returns (we love a bit of investing gossip), the real story of 2025 isn’t about picking the next winner. It’s about building something that can actually survive whatever comes next. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing investing right”… or just want to understand what everyone else seems to be talking about, this one’s for you.CHECK OUT THE SOTM INVESTING HUB: Full of our best investing freebies, resources, courses and podcast episodes here.

If you think losing your job would set you back financially… this week’s Money Diary might change your mind. In 2018, our diarist lost her corporate role and six-figure salary overnight. What followed wasn’t a scramble to replace it, but a decision to finally back herself and start the business she’d been putting off. What began as a one-woman operation in a granny flat is now a multi-million dollar business with a team of 20. We chat about the leap, the reality behind the growth, and what it actually takes to build something from nothing. If you’ve ever thought “could I do that?”… this one’s for you.

A 20x markup. Vertical integration across manufacturing, retail, and insurance. One company controlling 80% of the market. Most investors would see Luxottica's dominance of the eyewear market and walk away. Dave Gilboa and his co-founders saw the opportunity of a lifetime. In this episode, Warby Parker's co-CEO breaks down the strategic decisions that turned a business school insight into a multi-billion dollar public company, and why the playbook still works in 2026. Dave shares the lessons he's learned in spotting market inefficiency, timing entry during crisis, building defensible moats in commodity categories, and positioning for platform shifts before they're obvious. He also discusses Warby Parker's partnership with Google and Samsung to build AI-powered glasses and the hardware play that positions them at the center of what he believes will be “the first form factor native to the AI era.” It's a strategic pivot that could 10x their addressable market. For investors making high-stakes allocation decisions in consumer tech, DTC, or AI hardware, this conversation offers rare insight into how disruption actually scales.

Period products are one of the most normalised monthly expenses in women’s lives… but have you ever stopped to ask why?Why is this something women are expected to pay for, no questions asked… when it’s not optional?In this episode, Victoria sits down with Remy Tucker, founder of On The House, the business challenging the status quo by making period products free. After working in healthcare and seeing firsthand how lack of access impacts women, Remy decided this wasn’t something we should just accept… and built a business to change it.We’re talking about period inequity in Australia, the real impact it has on women’s lives, and the innovative “negative priced” business model that’s getting brands to fund products instead. Because this isn’t just a conversation about periods… it’s about access, equity, and who’s been footing the bill all along.

Would you love to start and investing club with your friends? That’s exactly what this week’s Money Diarist did. Inspired by the investing club her mum started with friends more than two decades ago, she sent a message to a few girlfriends with a simple idea. What if they pooled a little money together, learned about the share market as they went, and invested as a group? That message turned into a fully fledged club called ASX in the City. There’s a shared account, monthly contributions, spreadsheets tracking their portfolio and a voting system for deciding which stocks make the cut. Along the way they’ve learned about ETFs, picked a few winners, had the occasional “problem child” investment and built something many people wish they had… a space where talking about money actually feels normal. In this episode she shares how the club works, what they’ve learned along the way and why investing doesn’t have to be something you figure out alone. By the end of this episode there’s a very good chance you’ll be hitting up your friends to start your own ASX and the City.

You're saving. You’re investing. You’re working towards your financial goals..... and yet somehow you’re still stuck in the exact same place? This week’s Friday Drinks is all about that weird financial headspace where you technically know you’re doing the right things, but it doesn’t feel like progress, because you've got so many goals you're working towards. We talk about why that feeling is way more common than you think, and the simple shift that can help you actually see the momentum you’ve already built. Then we get into a career debate that a lot of you will have opinions on. A community member is six months into a job that’s seriously affecting their mental health and keeps hearing the same advice from older generations: never leave before 12 months. But is that actually still true in today’s job market… or are we holding ourselves to rules that don’t really apply anymore? Plus we've got all your fave money wins and broke tips,Friday fun to start the weekend right. WANT OUR NETWORTH TRACKER: It's part of our Investing Masterclass here.
