    Private Health Insurance in Australia: Is It Actually Worth It?

    Private health insurance in Australia can feel confusing, overwhelming, and expensive, especially when you’re not even sure what you’re paying for or what you need.  In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin is joined by private health insurance expert Kat Day to break down when private health insurance is actually worth it for Australians, and when it genuinely isn’t. We talk about why so many people are over-insured, how women end up paying for cover they’ll never use, and how insurance premiums quietly creep up year after year without anyone noticing. In 15mins you’ll learn: When private health insurance is worth it and when it’s not The difference between hospital cover and extras (and which to prioritise) How the Medicare levy surcharge actually works Whether it’s cheaper to pay the levy or take out private cover Why being on “gold” doesn’t mean better service How often you should be reviewing your policy The most common ways Australians overpay for health insurance Why switching providers won’t reset your waiting periods What ambulance cover actually looks like state by state This is a practical, no-jargon episode designed to help you make smarter decisions, save money, and finally understand your private health insurance.

    How They Get You: The Everyday Money Traps (And How To Beat Them)

    In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin sits down with finance journalist and creator Chris Kohler (700k+ on Instagram) to unpack the sneaky ways Australians lose money without even noticing. Based on Chris’s book How They Get You, this chat covers the everyday “money traps” hiding in plain sight, from subscription creep and food delivery markups, to loyalty programs that don’t truly reward you, drip pricing, and the psychology of tap-and-go spending. You’ll learn how modern payments and marketing are designed to make spending feel painless, why “being loyal” can cost you more, and what small habits quietly blow up your budget over time. Chris also shares his simple “Hell Day” strategy, a practical system for negotiating bills and cutting recurring costs in one focused hit. If you want to feel more confident, more in control, and way harder for companies to “get”, this episode is a must-listen.

    Divorcing in Your 40s? What Every Woman Needs to Know Before Separating

    Divorce and separation in your 40s can feel overwhelming, emotional, and financially terrifying, especially if you’ve spent years prioritising your family, your partner, or their career over your own. In Australia, the average age women are divorcing is around 44 years old, yet so many women reach this moment feeling unprepared and unsure of their legal and financial rights. In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin is joined by Australian family lawyer Samantha Lewis to unpack what women actually need to know before separating, legally, financially, and emotionally. We cover the biggest myths women believe about divorce, why “just wanting things to be fair” can quietly leave you financially worse off, and the critical mistakes many women make in the first few weeks after separation. You’ll learn: How separating in your 40s is legally and financially different from your 20s or 30s Why it doesn’t matter whose name assets, property, or superannuation are in How non-financial contributions, like raising children or supporting a partner’s career, are treated under Australian family law What to do before money or assets start disappearing Why superannuation is often one of the biggest assets in a separation How women can fund legal advice, even if they don’t currently have access to money The one-year deadline after divorce that could cost you everything if you miss it Why it’s never too late to start again financially, even in your 40s or 50s This is an empowering, practical conversation for Australian women who are separated, divorcing, thinking about leaving, or supporting a friend who is. It’s not about fear, it’s about clarity, confidence, and knowing your rights before you make life-changing decisions. 🎧 Listen with your notes app open, then send this episode to a woman who needs it.

    How to Use Credit Card Points to Fly Business Class (Without Getting into Debt)

    Most people think flying business class is a luxury reserved for celebrities, CEOs, or people spending obscene amounts of money. But what if it’s actually about systems, not status? I’ve avoided this topic for a long time, mainly because we work with so many women who are actively getting out of credit card debt. So let me be very clear from the start — this conversation is only for people who already have strong control over their money. Because when credit cards are used badly, they cost you freedom.But when they’re used strategically, they can give it back. In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Hui, founder of iFlyFlat, who hasn’t paid for a flight in over a decade. We talk about how points actually work, why most people use them backwards, and how to think about credit cards as a payment system, not debt. This isn’t about spending more.It’s about using what you already spend… better. If you love travel, hate wasting money, and want to understand the rules before you play the game, this episode will completely change how you think about points.   💌 Want more money tips straight to your inbox?Join thousands of Australian women getting savvy with their finances -subscribe to the Ladies Finance Club newsletter for the latest money hacks, expert advice, and exclusive event invites!

    Health Is Wealth: The Ultimate 2026 Women’s Health Checklist for Your 30s, 40s & 50s

    We talk a lot on Get Rich about how to prevent a financial crisis, building buffers, having the right insurance, and not leaving things until it’s too late. In this episode, we apply that same thinking to something just as important: your health. Because a medical crisis doesn’t just affect your body, it can impact your income, savings, super, career, and long-term financial security. Molly is joined by women’s health GP Joanne Helen Mackson to create a practical, decade-by-decade health checklist for Australian women in their 30s, 40s and 50s, covering what to screen for, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to advocate for yourself in a system that hasn’t always been built with women in mind. In this episode, we cover: What health checks actually matter in your 30s, including cervical screening, skin checks, fertility conversations, mental health, and when period pain isn’t normal What changes in your 40s, including the Medicare 45+ Health Assessment, perimenopause symptoms, bowel cancer screening from 45, and breast screening decisions What to prioritise in your 50s, including mammograms, bowel screening, bone health, heart health, and chronic disease prevention Why women often need to push harder for answers, and how to do that effectively How prevention is one of the smartest financial and life investments you can make This is the episode to listen to with your notes app open, then book the check-ups you’ve been putting off, and send to a friend who needs it too. General information only. Always speak with your GP or healthcare professional about what’s right for you. Health is wealth, and this episode shows you how to protect both.   💌 Want more money tips straight to your inbox?Join thousands of Australian women getting savvy with their finances -subscribe to the Ladies Finance Club newsletter for the latest money hacks, expert advice, and exclusive event invites!
