This is Linda Jenkinson, or otherwise known as LJ, the first woman to ever list a company on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the US. We know what you’re thinking, this must’ve been ages ago right? LJ listed her company in 1998... that’s only 26 years ago! Being constantly dismissed because of her gender, it's safe to say that LJ has encountered a fair few glass ceilings which she's smashed through at full force. She sees life as a set of games where she’s constantly breaking the rules, and she's on a mission to lead the way for young entrepreneurs and women across the globe. Inspiring, empowering and at many times, completely shocking, we're really excited to share with you our chat.

Mixing things up this week, we're talking currencies! Currencies are a bit like stocks; they fluctuate depending on demand, and can actually be a creative way of saving money. Hint: take a holiday to a destination where the currency is weak - you'll be living it up for less!  Testing that theory is Vic who has has decided to fly to Spain to surprise flower man (AKA her boyfriend), meanwhile Soph is on a fly hunt (literally - please excuse any blow fly sounds that enter this recording). Big updates from the Doc Martin stock, Samsonite and a few other goodies! Important note for those only here for the finance news - and not our lives - please skip to the 6 minute mark!

If you haven't already heard of the FIRE movement, let us introduce you to this amazing concept. FIRE (otherwise known as 'financial independence retire early') is a pretty extreme approach to saving + investing. Someone who has successfully gotten herself in position where she could retire before her 40th birthday is the amazing Ana Kresina. She is a financial educator, author and ex-roller derby player who although she could retire, is choosing to work and empower women all over the world to find the same freedom she now has. An inspiring, important and brilliant conversation - we guarantee you'll be on FIRE by the end of this ep.

It’s been another wild week in the stock market, but before we get into that - do you remember those emotional charts therapists use to help decipher how you're feeling? No? Just imagine Vic pointing to overwhelm and Soph at the excitement section with a hard launch we are all here for. And although the stock market's been pointing at depressed lately, there is one company you might consider investing in. It's share price has risen 40% this year alone! A small hint...they make arguably the most comfortable, and least subtle shoes in the world.

Although this 2-parter seems somewhat like Sophie's voice messages; a little rambly, and at times totally off-topic, we hope that by the end, you'll come away with a better understanding of what's best for your financial situation: paying off the mortgage early, or investing the extra funds. Investing may make you more money than paying off debt, but the savings from interest on mortgage payments can be significant. This is why it’s important to determine (based on your personal circumstances) whether investing would be more beneficial than paying off your mortgage, or vice versa!
