Uncensored Money

This season we're diving into the hot topics and issues that we think you need to know about when it comes to your money. Today, Mel is talking about what is normal financially.

Am I doing okay?

It's a question one of Mel's friends asked her recently, and it's one she hears a lot. What they're asking when they say that is:

• How am I compared to other women my age

• How am I compared to how I want to live

Todays episode looks at that question more in depth, diving into what is financially normal anyway.

If you've ever wondered how you compare, tune in for the episode that answers just that.

This season we're diving into the hot topics and issues that we think you need to know about when it comes to your money. Today, Mel is talking about ageism and money, because it's a conversation that just isn't affecting the blokes in the same way.

Too often women are opting out of investing because they fear that they're too old and that they've aged out. In reality, it's more important than ever that now is the time to start to lean in.

Talking about ageism in money and investing, in this episode Mel is here to give you hope that no matter what age you are – there's still so much you can do.

It's a new season and we're talking about your Financial Second Act and whatever form that may come in. Today, Mel talks about some of the scary headlines that have been appearing when it comes to share investing and money generally. From the R word – recession – in US markets, to crashes in the US market, global markets, and even in Australian markets, the headlines appearing are far from reassuring.

In this solo episode, Mel talks about what she thinks you should be doing, and most importantly what you shouldn't be doing. And maybe even how to turn down that noise a little so that you can keep investing, or start investing with confidence.
