Debt Recycling 101: What It Actually Is and Whether It’s Right for You Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

If you believe the finance bros on TikTok, debt recycling is the magic wealth building hack everyone with a home should already be using. But is it really that simple? So, in this episode, we’re looking beyond the hype to explain what debt recycling actually is, how it works in the real world, when it can work well and why it’s not a shortcut or a strategy that suits everyone.

In this ep:
💰Why debt recycling looks like a no brainer on TikTok
💰What it actually means for your mortgage (and your cash flow)
💰The risks of the strategy finance bros don’t talk about
💰How to tell if it’s smart move for you, or a stress bomb waiting to go off
💰The foundations you need before even thinking about it
💰When debt recycling can build wealth and when it can backfire

How This 24 Year Old Without a Degree Earns $180k a Year (and Is on Track to Retire at 50) Feb 08, 2026

Show notes

You don’t need a uni degree to earn $180k a year. This week’s Money Diary proves it. Oh and did we mention she’s only 24?!?! So of course Victoria gets pervy about how she actually got there. The career moves that paid off. The money habits that stuck. And what earning big this young really feels like when the stakes are high. We also unpack the full story behind the two properties she owns, including the one she bought with a friend. Spoiler. It did not end well. This episode goes into what happens when the plan makes sense on paper, but the relationship falls apart, and how she handled the fallout without everything blowing up. If you want proof that there’s more than one way to build wealth, this episode is for you.

Is a Guarantor on a Property Loan a Smart Move? Plus, When Using Your Super Early Makes Sense Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

Have you ever been offered financial help that sounds generous… but you're worried if it comes with strings attached. This week’s Friday Drinks dives into one of those emotionally loaded money decisions: whether to let your parents go guarantor so you can get into the property market sooner, when you’re already worried about boundaries and control. We unpack what a guarantor loan really means (and what it doesn’t), why the 20% deposit rule isn’t as rigid as people think, and how to weigh financial opportunity against mental health. Then we answer a dilemma from a community member that needs surgery that needs to be privately funded, so we put all her options on the table from taking the money out of super to upping her private health and even whether it's something you can get a loan for.... with the pros and cons to consider for each of course. Add in money wins, broke tips, and a very honest chat about how we actually manage work life balance, and this ep is the perfect mis clarity, validation, and plenty of Friday chaos.

The Small Habits That Quietly Made Us Richer Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

The biggest money glow-ups rarely come from one big decision. They come from the small changes you stack without realising how much they’re adding up. So this episode is all about the small, low-effort money habits that have made our community richer. We talk about the tiny switches that stop impulse spending, the boring admin that pays you back, and the systems that run in the background so you don’t have to. If you like the idea of “lazy girl finance” but still want real results, this one’s for you.

In this ep:
💰Why “low effort” doesn’t mean low impact when it comes to money
💰A five-minute money decision with a big ROI
💰Which clever banking feature our community swear by to stop impulse spending
💰How a once-a-year bill review cuts costs (without changing providers multiple times)
💰Why short no-spend resets stick when long challenges don’t

The $75k Property Nightmare We Didn’t See Coming Feb 01, 2026

Show notes

This week’s Money Diary is a property rollercoaster. One that starts off feeling sensible… and then does three loop-de-loops. Our diarist bought, renovated, sold, and started building again while raising a family and spending long stretches on one income. Then a builder collapse meant she had to find $75k more to cover costs.She shares how she kept things steady when cash flow was tight, the calls she made to protect her family, and the point where she realised property didn’t have to do all the work on its own. You’ll hear how investing entered the picture later and what finally helped things feel less fragile. This one shows what it looks like to adapt when your plans change, without everything falling over.

Summer Starter Series: Get Your Superannuation Sorted Jan 30, 2026

Show notes

You don’t need spare cash to make your future better. You just need to make sure the future fund you already have is working as hard as it can for you. Super is usualy one of the last things we think of when it comes to our finances. It’s boring, it’s confusing, and it feels like a future problem. But quietly? It’s one of the easiest places to make real impact without changing a single thing about your day to day life. This is the last episode of our Summer Starter Series (episodes 1-4 are linked below), and it’s all about the $0 moves that can seriously change your long term outcome. We’re talking log in, check a few settings, log out in a better financial position. Victoria walks you through a proper super hygiene check, how to compare funds without falling for shiny marketing, and why your investment option matters way more than most people think. If super has been sitting in the too hard basket, or you’ve been quietly feeling behind without knowing why, this is the reset that makes everything feel clearer.

What Will Make You Richer: Money in Your Offset Account or the Sharemarket? Plus, How To Handle Family Estate Disputes Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

Which one makes more money sense? Smashing down your mortgage faster, or putting that money to work in shares? This week’s Friday Drinks opens with one of the most divisive money questions we get, and Victoria gets very honest about how she approaches it in her own life. She walks through what she prioritises when building wealth, the maths she actually uses to make sure every dollar is working it's hardest for her, and why the answer that feels obvious, isn’t always the one that makes you richer. Then things get spicy. Like, properly spicy. A community member slid into our DMs convinced her late father-in-law’s partner is lying about his will and the real cost of the funeral. We unpack what really happens when someone dies without a will, where money goes first, how estates are handled, and what to do when your gut says something’s off but the situation is already emotionally loaded. And because it's Friday we’ve got all the usual fun and chaos you love to start the weekend the right.

How to Invest in the Share Market for Kids (Without Losing It All to Tax) Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

Everyone wants to give their kids the best start in life, and investing for them feels like the obvious answer… right up until the tax rules turn the whole thing into a mental no go zone. So how do you set your kids up financially without accidentally handing a chunk of it to the ATO, overcomplicating your life, or creating a problem you’ll have to untangle later?

This episode is all about how to invest in the share market for your kids in a way that actually makes sense. We talk through how to choose the right setup for your family, the strategies that can legally minimise tax (Spoiler alert: Those tax rules might might be as scary as you think, once you see the numbers), and why the way you invest now can shape how your kids think about money as adults. If you care about giving your kids a real financial head start, this episode is a must listen.

In this ep:
📈Why investing for kids is really about building confidence with money, more than just the dollar amount
📈The biggest investing advantage kids have that adults can’t buy later
📈Why starting small for kids now can matter more than waiting till you have a lump sum to invest
📈How the shares and ETFs you chose can effect how much tax you pay (and what to look for)
📈A real-world example that shows why tax on kids’ investments isn’t always as scary as it sounds
📈The setup questions to answer now, so you’re not second guessing yourself later

Not a Date to Celebrate with Clothing the Gaps Jan 25, 2026

Show notes

January 26 isn’t just another public holiday. For many First Nations Australians, it marks the beginning of invasion and the impacts of colonisation that are still felt today. That’s why we're interupting your normal Money Diaries programming to bring you this conversation, with very special guests Laura Thompson and Sarah Sheridan. Laura and Sarah are the co-founders of Clothing The Gaps, the Aboriginal led and controlled, and majority Aboriginal owned business and social enterprise behind the Not A Date To Celebrate campaign. In the ep they explain what often gets missed in the public debate, how economic empowerment plays a role in real, lasting change, how First Nations–led businesses approach impact differently, and what refectful and informed support can look like on this date and beyond.
