Where and how do you invest in this economic climate? This week, Brooke Roberts joined us from the land of the long white cloud - Aotearoa, New Zealand - to talk us through what Sharesies offers, what type of users join the platform, what they start with it, and more.

Of course, compare the fees and read the PDS before jumping in!

We've all seen it - your grocery shop becomes more skint but you're paying the same... or more! Fewer biscuits or chips in the bag is how food manufacturers are skirting price rises. It might be good for the waistline but not good for the hip pocket or your morale. Do you fight it like the French or deal with one less Oreo in the pack? Brooke Cooper takes us through.

In the wake of the RBA's decision to lift the cash rate to a 12-year high of 4.35%, Dom and Haz spoke with John Quiggin, who said the RBA is political and sensitive to PR despite being independent from the government!

In the wake of the RBA's decision to lift the cash rate to a 12-year high of 4.35%, Dom and Haz spoke with Warren Hogan, who said the RBA needs to do more or risk leaving rates higher for longer!

In our fortnightly property roundup with Emma, we discovered that home prices are just 0.5% off their peak values, and CoreLogic is reporting that we could hit a new peak in a couple weeks.

Vacancy rates are at a new low (0.8% - Domain data), while the Greens in Brisbane have proposed a rather interesting new tax on landlords, which is sure to result in measured and constructive conversations.

Fresh after some Melbourne Cup festivities and the RBA interest rate rise - the first since June - Dom and Haz sat down with Warren Hogan and John Quiggin.

Warren is the chief economic adviser for Judo Bank, and John is a professor of economics at the University of Queensland. We discussed if the move was the right one, and if it's enough to tame the inflation beast.

Plus, we had our regular property roundup with Emma Duffy from Your Investment Property Magazine - home prices rising, vacancy rates plummeting, and more.

This week, Dom and Haz were joined by Dianne Loveday, the founder of Bayside Mediation. We covered the prickly topic of divorce and separation, which no one likes talking about. Dianne said it doesn't have to be a super drawn out, costly affair. One way to tackle the cost is by going through a mediator, instead of lawyers and the courts, which could save hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We were also joined by Savings.com.au journalist Harry O'Sullivan who recently picked up the story on how Uber/delivery drivers are set to be afforded the same rights as other workers - this could mean a more expensive burrito but a more stable and safe workforce. That's if a new bill passes.

Plus all the latest and greatest news... this time delivered in around 5 minutes.

This week, Haz and Dom covered a slightly different topic - divorce and the costs of it. We were joined by Dianne Lovejoy to discuss how mediation rather than litigation can be a much more amicable and cost-friendly way of navigating divorce and separation.

It's a topic no one likes to talk about, but an important one!

If a new bill passes successfully through Federal Parliament, meal delivery and rideshare operators are set to receive better worker protections. However, Uber isn't happy, saying it could increase prices by up to 85%.

Of course, Uber isn't alone here, but acts as a catch-all term for similar services such as Didi, Menulog and others.

We discussed with Harry if this will work, and if the price increase will turn Aussies off such conveniences. Plus, what's Harry getting next time he orders UberEats - a GYG burrito or a cheeky Nandos?

This week, we have a property investment bonanza episode!

Dom and Haz were joined by Lloyd Edge, the director of Aus Property Professionals - a nationwide buyers agency. He gave us the rundown on a range of investment topics.

We were also joined by Emma from Your Investment Property Magazine, who explained to Dom and Haz what build-to-rent means. There's one BTR development in Melbourne however with its own podcast studio, concierge. and pet play area - but it comes at a cost.

Plus all the latest news and flapping our gums about finance.
