Meet Pay Love

This week, we’re talking to Emily from 1800myoptions about the cost of contraception, hygiene products and abortion. 1800myoptions has talked to around 12000 women about their contraception, abortion, pregnancy options and other sexual health needs. 

After all, two-thirds of Australian women of reproductive age use birth control. At 1800myoptions, they don’t give specific medical advice, but they’ve definitely talked to enough people to know there are a lot of trends around who's paying for what and who's wanting what. Like, did you know the average woman spends $10,000 on period products in their lifetime? And moving from a short acting to a long acting contraception could actually save women a few hundred dollars every year? 

It’s a delicate topic, but Zoe and Carmel want to know more.

We all woke up to the news this week that Kimye is no more. But thanks to a clean-cut prenup that both Kim and Kanye agreed to two months before the wedding, it’s rumoured to be a clean-cut divorce. That’s not the case for most Aussie couples though - only 6% of couples have a prenup or financial agreement in place.

This week, Zoe and Carmel talk to Clarissa Rayward, from The Happy Family Lawyer, and ask the questions: what’s the point of a financial agreement? Can you get one at any point in the relationship? How many people actually even want them?  

Have a relationship question that's got you stumped? Don't know how to talk about money with your partner? Or just want to say hi? Send Zoe and Carmel an email - [email protected] or [email protected]

So, you've been dating a little while, and things are going well, but you've noticed a couple of little things that are giving you pause... you are thinking they could be red flags. 

In this episode, Zoe and Carmel think about what are financial red flags in a relationship, and what to do if you see them. They talk to Dr Sarah Ashton from SHIPS Psychology. You really like this person, and you see a future with them... how do you discuss issues in a helpful way? And what boundaries should you keep for yourself?

You're living in the same house, you might even be paying the same bills towards the mortgage, you might even have a fur baby, but how do you manage two different bank accounts for two different people, when you're sharing everything else?

For our second Meet Pay Love episode, Carmel and Zoe think about all the different ways you can divide the dollar - and how to come to an agreement about how that money works. They chat to Glenn Hare from Fox and Hare Wealth about that process, and common themes seem to be communication, as well as thinking about working as a team, building wealth as a collective, rather than two individuals.

So... what exactly *is* a defacto relationship? For the first ever Meet Pay Love episode, Carmel and Zoe explore the idea of those of us who live together, but aren't sporting any rings on any of their fingers. They think about some of the common misconceptions about defacto relationships, look at the stats in the world today, and then ask family lawyer Satbir Singh all their pressing questions.
