    What Should I Check Every Year To Save Money?

    You are going to want to take notes. Pete provides plenty of ways to cut costs – by letting us know what we should be auditing every year (or more often). Key Takeaways: Annual financial checkups are essential for effective money management and should involve reviewing all expenses and bills. Proactively asking for better prices or researching provider alternatives can lead to significant savings without sacrificing quality. Understanding the importance of balancing time versus potential financial savings is crucial for effective personal finance management. Creating a “financial toolkit” can help structure the processes needed to make informed financial decisions regularly. Complacency can harm financial health; staying informed and active in challenging existing costs regularly is beneficial. Notable Quotes: "You can't correct it if you don't check it." "If you care about where your money goes and what you're spending on, you should check your bills at least annually." "A bit like going to the doctor, you're hopefully healthy and eating healthy [...] once a year you might go to the doctor and say, how am I really doing?" "I've never seen anybody go, 'You know what, just for hanging around here's a discount.' You don't get anything without asking." "You need to look at the bills, not just pay them."

    The Great Tax Debate: Necessary? Fair? Wrong?

    Why do we pay tax? Should we? How much? The Bible instructs about tax? Welcome to the Tax Episode you have been waiting for and it's finally arrived. Applause. Key Takeaways: Taxes are the financial backbone which support essential government services such as schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. The Australian tax system is progressive – higher-income earners pay proportionally more. This allocation of resources from those who can afford to contribute more can be viewed as a fair system. Optimising tax payments through eligible deductions and exemptions is encouraged. The distinction between high earners and rich individuals is crucial, particularly in discussions about tax equity and avoidance. From a Christian perspective, paying taxes is viewed as a civic duty aligned with scriptural teachings which emphasise honesty and respect for governing authorities. Notable Quotes: "Taxes are the price we need to pay to live in the kind of world that we want." - Pete Burrows "A fair amount is what's correct... calculated within the laws." - Pete Burrows "I think tax is a privilege." - Pete Burrows "The Bible strongly indicates that paying taxes is necessary, 'giving to Caesar what is Caesar's'." - Ben McEachen Join the Money: Faith and Finance Group on Facebook here!We love your questions.

    Talking About Money In Your Marriage - Hayson and Nikki Lo

    In this episode, Ben and Pete are joined by Hayson and Nikki Lo, hosts of the Money Matrimony podcast. Hayson and Nikki share their own experience with navigating household finances, as they took time and effort to find a more united approach. They want to help other couples with communicating better about money matters. Key Takeaways: Open Communication: Regular, honest conversations about daily expenses and financial goals strengthen marital relationships. Joint Accounts: Combining finances fosters transparency and shared responsibility, ensuring both partners are involved in financial decisions. Importance of Contentment: Teaching children about contentment and gratitude, regardless of financial status, helps ground them in healthy financial principles. Role of Faith: Understanding that all resources come from God and striving to be good stewards impacts how money is managed and prioritised. Balancing Act: Regular assessment of goals is necessary as balancing career aspirations and family time remains a constant challenge.   Notable Quotes: Hayson: "The way that you view money, the way that you view the language around money, it's so important that it's about 'we' and not 'I'." Nikki: "We are focusing more on the relational side of it, because a lot of finance podcasts involve getting rich and finding financial freedom – which is important – but we want to emphasise not making money an idol." Hayson: "Having good communication and honest communication, even about our financial mistakes, helps foster a healthier relationship." Nikki: "It's also seeing the value in each other's contributions, whether financial or non-financial, to help bring about those important conversations and communications." Hayson: "We want our kids to learn contentment, to be content whether they have a lot or a little, and to always be thankful to God." Listen now to Money Matrimony with Hayson and Nikki.
