You’re Not Financially Behind… But Are You Protected?


Listen Later

If you stopped working tomorrow, how long could you financially survive on your own?

Not in theory. Not in a spreadsheet somewhere.In real life.

Lately I’ve been seeing headlines about rising homelessness in Australian women over 55. At first, it feels distant. But when you dig deeper, this isn’t just about homelessness.

It’s about superannuation gaps.It’s about part-time work and motherhood.It’s about divorce.It’s about rising cost of living, rent vesting and what really happens financially when life doesn’t go to plan.

In this episode, I sit down with financial adviser Jayde Jenkins to unpack the financial blind spots women can’t afford to ignore and what we should be doing in our 20s, 30s and 40s to protect ourselves.

We talk about:

* Why homelessness in women over 55 is rising in Australia

* The long-term financial impact of career breaks and part-time work

* What divorce really means for superannuation and property

* Rent vesting and whether it protects you long term

* Reverse mortgages and accessing equity later in life

* The financial red flags women consistently overlook

* Why personal insurance matters more than most of us realise

* How to build an emergency fund even if you’re starting from zero

* The financial order of priorities if you’re earning well and want a clear roadmap


This conversation isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness.


Because the women most affected aren’t irresponsible. They’re capable, educated women who experienced illness, separation, age discrimination or simply underestimated the long-term impact of stepping out of the workforce.


If you care about financial independence, protecting your future and making sure you always have options, this episode is for you.
