She's On The Money

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 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

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.

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.

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.
