She Spent Hundreds of Thousands in 12 Months… Then Realised She Had No Idea Where Her Money Was Going
1w ago00:44:31Tap to summarizeThis week’s Money Diary is one of those “wait… this is actually so relatable” conversations. She’s a newly admitted lawyer who spent years living paycheck to paycheck while studying, prioritising travel over investing and genuinely having no idea what an ETF even was. Fast forward a few years and life suddenly got very expensive, very quickly. An apartment. A wedding. A honeymoon. Another holiday. A puppy. Moving costs. Furniture. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, she and her husband had the slightly nauseating realisation that they’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year… without really stopping to think about where any of it was actually going. And honestly? I think a lot of people will see themselves in this one. We talk about the pressure to buy property because everyone else is doing it, the reality of owning an apartment with brutal body corporate fees, lifestyle creep, ADHD hyper-fixation becoming an unexpected budgeting superpower, and what happened when she finally sat down and looked at her finances properly. Now she’s investing 40% of her income, building a portfolio she actually understands, and rethinking what financial security is supposed to look like in the first place. This one feels a little bit like a group chat with your financially self-aware friends. Slightly chaotic. Slightly confronting. But in the best way.

Your Paycheck Isn’t Stretching Like It Used To. We Asked The PM Why
1w ago00:52:10Tap to summarizeOkay… this one still feels a bit surreal to say out loud. Right after the federal budget dropped, I sat down with Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher to ask the questions our She’s on the Money community actually wants answered. We covered a lot. We spoke about housing affordability, negative gearing, capital gains tax changes, childcare costs, women’s health, paid parental leave, fuel prices, the gender pay gap and what the government is actually doing about the cost of living pressure Australians are feeling right now. We also had a really honest conversation about why the government changed its position on negative gearing, and whether politicians genuinely understand how financially stretched people are feeling. But because this is still She’s on the Money… things also went slightly off the rails. We somehow ended up talking about ChatGPT, Bluey, subscription creep, the Met Gala, free McDonald’s burgers, sourdough, single people being forgotten by the system, and the Prime Minister’s thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit choices. Which, to be fair, was not where I expected budget week to go. If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

“Can I Actually Afford My Life Right Now?” We Put Australia’s Ministers In The Hot Seat
2w ago01:14:30Tap to summarizeRight after the federal budget dropped, I sat down with some of Australia’s most powerful ministers and political voices to ask the questions our community actually cares about. Not the polished political talking points… the real stuff. Housing affordability, childcare costs, rising bills, negative gearing, fuel prices, domestic violence support, women’s financial security and whether Australians are genuinely better off after this budget. Across this bonus episode, I speak with Housing Minister Clare O'Neil, Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek, Infrastructure Minister Catherine King, Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Independent MP Monique Ryan about what this budget actually means for Australians trying to buy homes, leave violent relationships, pay power bills, raise kids and build financial security in an economy that feels increasingly hard to keep up with. We also get into the politics behind negative gearing reform, whether the government has gone far enough on housing, why childcare still feels impossible for so many women, and what politicians really think when Australians say their paychecks simply aren’t stretching anymore. Some of their answers genuinely surprised me. Hi friend, we’re She’s on the Money, an Australian finance podcast here to help you feel more confident with your money. From understanding your money story, to actually sticking to a budget, to starting to build wealth in a way that feels doable.

Negative Gearing Is Dead, Unless You’re Already In. Jim Chalmers Explains Why Young Australians Miss Out
2w ago00:16:44Tap to summarizeThe federal budget has dropped… and Australians have opinions. So Victoria sat down with Australia’s Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, immediately after the budget announcement to ask the questions everyone actually wants answered. From negative gearing and capital gains tax changes to the cost of living crisis, fuel prices, housing affordability, tax cuts and why blueberries suddenly cost what feels like a small mortgage repayment. They also get into the political backlash surrounding the budget, why the government changed its position on housing tax reform, whether Canberra is disconnected from how tough things feel financially right now, and what Treasurer Chalmers says Australians fundamentally misunderstand about the federal budget. There’s also unexpected chat about ChatGPT, air fryers, pocket money, coffee machines, influencers, and what it actually feels like to hand down a budget while the internet calls you “The Jim Reaper.” If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

The Costs of IVF: Financing Your Fertility Journey
2w ago01:01:04Tap to summarizeThis episode is what happens when financial planning and family planning have a baby.

Joining us on this week’s Deep Dive is sought-after fertility specialist and friend of the pod, Doctor Nicole Hope. The Medical Director at Newlife IVF has helped people to conceive and grow families for the last 20 years.

From payment options to insurances and the difference between various treatments, tune-in for an in-depth discussion about the economics of fertility with Newlife IVF. CW: During this episode we discuss pregnancy and fertility; topics that some of our listeners might find confronting or triggering.

BONUS: The 2026 Federal Budget Explained Without The Boring Bits
2w ago01:09:33Tap to summarizeThe federal budget officially dropped at 7:30pm tonight, but we recorded this episode from inside Budget Lock-Up BEFORE the rest of the country got their hands on it. At 6pm, while the internet was still speculating and journalists were speed-reading hundreds of pages of announcements and fine print, we sat down inside Parliament House to unpack the headlines we think actually matter to our community. Victoria is joined by Glen James from Money Money Money and Vince Scully from Retire Right, who also happens to own our financial services licence, which you’d think would mean we’d be on our best behaviour… but unfortunately that’s not what happened. Together, we break down:• the negative gearing and CGT changes everyone’s about to argue about• what the tax cuts actually mean for your wallet• housing affordability and first home buyers• women’s health funding• cost-of-living relief• and why the global oil crisis is suddenly impacting Australian households Plus, we had a cameo appearance from Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance herself. This episode is landing slightly later than we planned because the audio quality wasn’t where we wanted it to be and after surviving Budget Lock-Up, the least we could do was make sure it didn’t sound like we recorded it through a microwave.

Dropped Out of Uni Three Times… and Now Earns $140K Without a Degree
2w ago00:36:11Tap to summarizeHave you ever thought, “maybe I’ve missed my chance.” This weeks diarist started uni three separate times and dropped out every single one. Worked 50-hour weeks in retail management for minimum wage. Genuinely believed that without a degree, there was a limit to what she’d ever earn or achieve. Relatable. Then life happened. A baby. A relocation. A partner changing careers. Another baby. A mortgage. A massive amount of imposter syndrome. But somewhere in the middle of all of that, she met a leader who saw something in her before she could fully see it herself… and everything started to shift. Now she’s 33, earning $140k in HR with no degree, investing for the first time, raising two kids, navigating a very real mortgage, and trying to work out how anyone affords dining chairs without having a small emotional breakdown. This conversation felt really honest. Not in a “perfect with money” way. More in a “figuring it out while life is happening” kind of way.

Take It or Leave It: Could Taking Stress Leave Affect My Insurances?
3w ago00:48:10Tap to summarizeIt’s all too familiar. Work has you burning you out. And even your manager has suggested that you take some time off. So, why does it still feel weird to accept the offer, especially when you’re desperate for a break? In this week’s Friday Drinks we cover that icky feeling some of us get around taking leave, even though it literally exists to be used. Beyond the stigma, we unpack how taking stress leave might affect your insurances and what to consider before submitting your request. Say it with me: you cannot call yourself a financial adviser if you do not have a license (an AFSL). In this episode, we answer a DM that sends up more red flags than a carnival. A community member asks if she should take advice from an unlicensed financial adviser, even if it’s free. Hear us *calmly* explain why unsolicited advice is illegal, and could actually end up costing you more. Besties don’t let besties get scammed. WHO THE HELL IS HAMISH? Here’s a link to the series about a super-scammer, mentioned on the pod, where an unfortunate number of innocent people were scammed out of their super. The moral of the story? It could happen to anyone! Don’t let that be you. SUSS OUT YOUR COVERAGE Our partners at Skye Wealth are personal insurance pros. Learn more about them over here at skye.com.au.
