  1. Take It or Leave It: Could Taking Stress Leave Affect My Insurances?

    Take It or Leave It: Could Taking Stress Leave Affect My Insurances?

    It’s all too familiar. Work has you burning you out. And even your manager has suggested that you take some time off. So, why does it still feel weird to accept the offer, especially when you’re desperate for a break? In this week’s Friday Drinks we cover that icky feeling some of us get around taking leave, even though it literally exists to be used. Beyond the stigma, we unpack how taking stress leave might affect your insurances and what to consider before submitting your request. Say it with me: you cannot call yourself a financial adviser if you do not have a license (an AFSL). In this episode, we answer a DM that sends up more red flags than a carnival. A community member asks if she should take advice from an unlicensed financial adviser, even if it’s free. Hear us *calmly* explain why unsolicited advice is illegal, and could actually end up costing you more. Besties don’t let besties get scammed. WHO THE HELL IS HAMISH? Here’s a link to the series about a super-scammer, mentioned on the pod, where an unfortunate number of innocent people were scammed out of their super. The moral of the story? It could happen to anyone! Don’t let that be you. SUSS OUT YOUR COVERAGE Our partners at Skye Wealth are personal insurance pros. Learn more about them over here at skye.com.au.

    21, Investing Aggressively and Watching Everyone Else Spend Their Paycheck

    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.

    The RBA: Who’s Calling the Shots and How it Affects Your Rates

    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.

    From Debt and Divorce to Building Her Dream Home as a Single Mum

    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.

    Should I Be Worried About My Money Right Now? What Global Uncertainty Actually Means for Your Portfolio

    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.
