Trying to figure out how much super you actually need? Yep, it’s confusing. With all the numbers, charts, and retirement buzzwords flying around, it’s no wonder most of us throw it in the “deal with it later” pile. But future you? They’re going to be so glad you tuned in.

This week, Victoria’s giving you the real talk on super: why comparing your super to everyone else’s might leave you short, how to figure out your own retirement number and what to do if you’re feeling a little (or a lot) behind. This episode is all about ditching the overwhelm and making you feel empowered by your super. 

In this ep you’ll find:
💸 The average super balances everyone’s curious about 
💸 What the “ASFA comfortable retirement” number is... and if we’re buying it
💸 How much super you'll actually need for the retirement lifestyle you want
💸 A stack of free tools that do the hard maths for you
💸 The easiest way to check if you’re on track 
💸 Tiny super habits that can have a serious impact on your balance

Super Detective: Calculates the super balance the ASFA says you should have today, based on their numbers for a comfortable retirement.

Ever felt like your job’s covering the bills but slowly crushing your soul, and caught yourself wondering, surely there’s more to life than this? This week, we dive headfirst into the career pivot spiral: is chasing a dream job worth the financial hit, or should you suck it up and stay for the salary? We unpack the real costs (money, mindset, and missed brunches) and how to test-drive a new path without blowing up your budget. Then we dial up the drama with a DM from our community: her sibling’s throwing a fairytale wedding… funded by delusional levels of debt. Do you step in, say nothing, or just top up your champagne and smile through the financial meltdown? And as always, we’ve packed in your money wins (from free burgers to $30 fashion hauls), unhinged broke tips, and a healthy amount of feel-good chaos to carry you into the weekend.

Feeling the cost of living squeeze? This week’s Money Diarist is too. She’s a vet, a mum of two, and part of a household doing all the “right” things… but still feeling seriously stretched. With interest rates climbing and every non-essential cut (yep, even the home internet), she’s in one of those seasons where money stress is just part of the daily juggle. This one is real, and way too relatable.

The HECS 20% discount has the whole community buzzing, and we’ve been getting so many DMs asking whether you need to wait to lodge your tax return because of it. And because we love you, Victoria went full finance detective and called the ATO herself (Yes, she waited on hold so you don’t have to). We’ve got all the tea on what you need to do, and where the government’s actually at with rolling it out. Then things get very spicy when a community memeber drops into our DMs with the ultimate workplace dilemma: she accidentally found her colleague’s payslip... and he’s making 25% more for the same role. What would you actually do? Do you go to your boss, pretend you never saw it, or start job hunting with a vengeance? Plus, as always: juicy money wins, broke tips (yes, including how to get paid just for driving safely), and a big dose of feel-good chaos to wrap your week right.

If you've ever been offered insurance at the checkout and thought, “Wait… do I actually need this?” this ep is for you. From phone cover to pet insurance, there are so many policies that sound smart in the moment but just turn out to be clever marketing. So I called in friend of the show and insurance expert Phil Thompson from Skye Wealth to help us sort the genuinely helpful from the total money drains.

We’re breaking down the covers that quietly siphon your cash, the underrated ones that actually protect your biggest assets (you might be surprised what they are BTW), and the sneaky traps hiding in default policies. If you’ve been meaning to clean up your insurance but don’t want a boring lecture about premiums and policies, this is your no-drama, straight-talking guide on what to keep, skip, or switch.

In this episode:
💸 The insurances we’d never waste our money on 
💸 Why default income protection through super might leave you stranded when it counts
💸 Pet insurance or DIY vet fund? We put them head-to-head
💸 The spicy truth about funeral insurance (and why it’s a hard pass for us)
💸 How to get expert insurance advice without dropping four figures
💸 The “Ferrari rule” that’ll change how you think about your income forever

Ever felt like your whole life got flipped without warning? Like one minute you're managing work, babies, bills... and the next, everything's on fire? This week's Money Diary is for anyone who's had to start over when they really, really didn’t plan to. The same week our diarist returned to work after maternity leave, her husband left (over text!!!) for another woman, leaving her with six-month-old twins and half of their $50K in debt. But after all that heartbreak, what follows is the kind of ending that makes you think: "That breakup? Honestly, best thing that ever happened to you." We're talking career glow-ups, investing wins, serious boundary-setting, and a new partner who proves the good ones do exist. This one’s for anyone who needs a little reminder that your worst moment might just be your turning point.

It’s the finance hot take that’s everywhere right now, but is your partner really the biggest financial decision you'll ever make? This week, we’re taking a closer look at the money-meets-love dilemma that’s dividing the internet, and our community. What happens when you're a budgeting queen with big goals, and they’re... just not? Is financial compatibility a dealbreaker, or is there more to the story? We also dive into the side hustle stress no one talks about: how to manage money when your “fun little project” suddenly starts making bank. It’s full Friday Drinks energy: slightly chaotic, surprisingly insightful, and the financial group chat you didn’t know you needed.
