Things You Didn't Learn In School Mamamia

- Educación
'I’ve lost track of how many times I use algebra each week. What a lifesaver!’… said no adult ever.
We learned a lot of things in school that we’ve never actually needed to know in real life. Most of us have never been asked to quote Shakespeare, or recite Pythagoras’ theorem or… square dance. Meanwhile, important things like how to nail a job interview, how to do taxes, and whether buying or renting is a better financial option were conveniently left off the curriculum.
That’s where we come in. Comedian Bec Melrose and Mamamia’s Emily Vernem are here to walk you through the lessons you’re too embarrassed to admit you still don’t know. So sit back and relax, school is in session.

We Need To Talk About Burnout
Welcome to your mental health first aid kit...
One out of every two people will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. But for most of us, we were never taught how to handle it.
So, we've brought in psychologist Jacqui Manning to provide easy, practical tips for actually feeling better. And no, it's not a bubble bath or "smiling more!"
Always seek the advice of your mental health professional or doctor with any questions you may have regarding your mental health.

Buying A House...In This Economy!?
Ah, the Australian dream... or as we like to call it, the Australian f**king nightmare.
The affordability crisis, the housing bubble, the first home buyers scheme - does this stuff fill you with anxiety? Join the club.
We wanted someone to sit us down and tell us everything we actually need to know about buying a house so we've brought in property manager Fleur Schrader to help us figure out if home ownership is right for us.
Plus, we'll hear from mortgage broker Anthony Alabakov to demystify the schemes and hacks we can use to save our precious dollars if we decide to take the leap.

Is My Mechanic Ripping Me Off?
Alright, we need to talk about our cars...Just not too much, and without the patronising undertones pls.
We've all been there at the mechanic, nodding and wondering if they’re ripping us off...
So, we’ve brought in expert mechanic Melanie Hardwicke to school us on everything you actually need to know about looking after your car. And she’s one of the girlies so we know we can trust her.
