    Your money manuscript: SPEND-TEMBER

    As Spend-tember rolls on, we're not just talking about money tips - we're digging deeper. Today, we explore your "Money Manuscript," the narrative you've unconsciously written about money throughout your life. This script shapes how you think, feel, and behave with money, often more than we realise. Why does this matter? Because understanding your financial story is the key to changing it. If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed about money, it’s likely rooted in these underlying beliefs and experiences. By acknowledging your Money Manuscript, you can start rewriting it to better align with your current goals and values. In this episode, we discuss practical steps to identify and update your money story, reframe your mindset around saving, and create healthier financial habits that feel natural. Whether you're just starting this journey or have been on it for years, this conversation offers insights to help you move forward with more confidence and clarity. Join the discussion! If you haven't yet joined our Facebook group, what are you doing?! We have ongoing discussion threads about each episode and themes from Spend-tember, along with homework tasks to help you dive deeper into your financial habits and mindset.

  8. Is it unfeminist to discuss women's spending habits? SPENDTEMBER with Emma & Victoria

    Is it unfeminist to discuss women's spending habits? SPENDTEMBER with Emma & Victoria

    In the final episode of The Comments Section Season Two, we’re digging through the dirty laundry pile that is the intersection of feminism and spending habits, and whether it is unfeminist to critique women's spending habits. Historically, financial media has framed men's spending around wealth-building and investment, while women's spending has often been associated with saving and cutting back. This dichotomy raises the question: is it wrong to scrutinise women's spending when men aren't subjected to the same narrative? Telling women to ignore their spending habits and simply "build wealth" without addressing the deeper societal pressures misses the point. While it’s crucial to acknowledge that the pressure to maintain a certain appearance or lifestyle is heavily marketed to us, we also discuss the importance of engaging with our financial behaviours. It’s not just about blaming ourselves but rather understanding the structures that shape our financial decisions and taking control to redirect our resources.
