Are You Ready To Buy A House?
Buying your own home may be the great Australian dream, but like a good pair of jeans, home ownership is not one size fits all. From deciding whether you want to buy a house at all, to all the technical stuff, like mortgages, interest rates and stamp duty, Mel Browne and Pallavi Sharda take you through entire process, step by step.

Future You Needs You To Sort Your Super
Welcome to What The Finance, Mamamia's new podcast all about getting good with money.
Superannuation: where does it go, how much do you need, and how do you make the most of it?
Often retirement can seem so far away that we don't give our super a second thought, especially when it's in several different funds. But taking control of your super now can save you thousands in the long run. In this episode, Melissa Browne and Pallavi Sharda speak to Melinda Howes, General Manager of Superannuation at BT, to wade through all the jargon around superannuation, and get the facts.

Welcome to What The Finance, Mamamia's new podcast all about getting good with money.
Whether you work full-time, part-time, are a freelancer or own your own business, the working world can be a minefield to navigate. There's negotiating your salary, asking for a raise, setting your freelance rates, and all the ups and downs that come with owning your own business.
This week, Mel Browne and Pallavi Sharda tackle the subject of the working world, a topic that can often make us want to bury our heads in the sand.

Yes, You Need Four Different Bank Accounts
Welcome to What The Finance, Mamamia's new podcast all about getting good with money.
How many bank accounts do you have? Pallavi Sharda, like many of us, has one, but according to our financial expert Mel Browne, one is not enough. And to get good with money, you need at least four, if not more.
This episode is all about savings, budgeting, and debt. But before you switch off at the mention of the dreaded b-word or d-word, it doesn't have to be scary. And we’re going to share with you practical ways you can make a difference to your financial situation.
We’ll talk you through making tangible goals, planning out ways to eliminate debt, and setting up good habits so you can be on your way to becoming financially adult.

Customer Reviews
She’s on the money?
It feels a little like a copy and paste of She’s on the money, right down to the lingo and format which is a little strange. I think the podcast is aimed more at an older demographic which could be good, I’ll keep listening..
Makes talking about money sexy!
I just love this podcast, a great way to start my day. Particularly loved listening to the piece about your money storey & money mindset! Fascinating! Lots of wise words to help women better understand their finances & start talking money.
Keep it coming
Love that it’s for an older demographic. Once you tackle the basics it would be amazing to then hear about next steps like lowering tax etc. Loving the chats! Thank you x
