The Bendigo Bank life coach podcast

Seeking financial advice for the end of days might seem a bit extra – well it is, but the world is not about to end. In fact, some industries will go through a post pandemic boom with others are already booming now.

In this episode, David Robertson assures us the future is brighter than you think, and we cover how to be prepared for anything, working within the gig economy and dealing with mental health - and your overbearing mum who calls five times a day (sorry mum, we’re busy – we love you).

They’re the age old questions, 'nature or nurture?' and 'why don’t I have any money?!'.

Turns out understanding the first question goes a long way towards answering the second (hint: it could be your upbringing or it could be you buried it under a beautiful oak tree).

In this episode, psych expert Dee Monaghan helps us explore the different approaches to money and how this can be determined by someone’s upbringing and also how to navigate our way out of bad habits that could potentially be holding us back from being the best version of ourselves.

Investing isn’t as scary an idea as we think it is.

This episode, Wadzanai Nenzou gives a key investing master class and answers all the important questions – How much should we earn before we can invest? What is an ETF? What about ethical investing? And why are squirrels such good investors? Should we be saving nuts? We’ll answer all and more (and no, please leave the nuts to the squirrels – they’re very cute and hungry).

Saving money is like eating kale – we know it’s good for us but we’d much rather just buy chippies instead.

This week, we chat with Bendigo Bank expert, Aggie Poliafico on the do’s and don’ts of saving. Plus how to save money and live a life by setting achievable goals and wins – even on a low wage and in the worst economy since the Jurassic era.

Imagine if they actually taught us financial literacy in school. Well, they didn’t.

So instead, imagine if you could get that basic primer in all things personal finance right now without the textbooks or imminent threat of a lunchtime dacking. Actually don’t imagine that because it’s a reality. And a podcast.

Ex-accountant and current comedian, Suren Jayemanne guides us through a bunch of real world, practical tips from our finance-y experts with all the panache that dual profession affords him. Which is surprisingly a lot.

All the basics are covered, like how to actually make yourself save, how to face up to your debt and why the Wu Tang Clan told us to

diversify our bonds (spoiler alert- we teach you how to start investing).

We deep dive into the psychology of money, find out how to be prepared for an uncertain future, and even get in to the nitty gritty of why nobody should be counting themselves out when it comes to owning a house – even people who thought it would be smart to ditch accounting for comedy.

Welcome to the Bendigo Bank Life Coach podcast, with your host Suren Jayemanne. Teaching you the dollary doo’s and don’ts of personal finance that they should have taught us at school.
