She's On The Money

Today's Money Diarist left a bad relationship and used to live week to week with her finances. Due to some ongoing mental health struggles, she was recently a patient at a psychiatric hospital. But at the end of last year she was married and is now in a really good place...

Have you ever treated yourself to a little extra something when you’re under financial stress? Nothing too big… but perhaps a new shade of nail polish, or eyeshadow, or lipstick? Well this such a common thing for us to do that it has a name, the Lipstick Index! And rolling into 2023, staring down the barrel of a recession, join Victoria Devine and our brand new cohost Bec Syed as they talk about why you're likely to hear this term a whole lot more this year!

Friday is here again! Bring more yay to your day and join Victoria, Jess and Bec as they celebrate your money wins, answer a Money Dilemma about how to financially prepare for a divorce. AND, you slid into our DMs this week to ask about what financial expectation should be put on bridesmaids for a wedding...

This Money Diarist has been through it all. She had just resigned from her job as a personal injury lawyer in order to spend more time with her partner and pivot her life. That weekend, he died in an accident. On top of her world imploding, her financial stress went through the roof. It took 8 months for her income protection to set in and it didn’t include cover for psychological injury. She wants to share her painful story in the hope it might help others...

What does a lot of money look like to you? Is it a lifetime of financial freedom, or not checking your bank account every time you go to buy something? Well, everyone has a different answer, and it is absolutely a reflection of your money story! Join Victoria and Bec as they demystify some unconscious, or unhelpful ideas about how much you need to start investing, and also about how much money you need to be good with money...

This Money Diarist wants you to know that you don't need a uni degree to earn 6 figures! Money was always tricky in her family but her mum has been a model of hard work and the main bread winner, working as a nurse. At 19, she's now in her dream job and has purchased an apartment. We can't for you to meet her!

Happy Friday angels, today JRic is sick (get better soon!) but V and Bec bring all the Friday fun. As usual they share your money wins and losses, Bec brings the Broke Tips, and today's Money Dilemma is from a new mumma wondering about whether to take a leap of faith into a new work venture for better work/life balance.

Plus, today's D.M got the gals pretty riled up. Have you ever lived in a share house and discovered that your roomies were letting their mates stay in your room.....

Today's Money Diarist recently a quit toxic (but well paying) tech job to run a small business with her dad. As an immigrant, she has always felt family and societal pressure to achieve and wonders if she should have stuck with the more "traditional" career path. Hers is a totally relatable story of consolidating pressure, and finding her truth!
