• START HERE: What Should My Daughter Do With Her $25,000? | A Start Here Guide for Young Investors

  Imagine turning 18 and gaining access to $25,000 that’s been sitting in trust since childhood. What would you do with it? keep it safe in cash, invest it for the long term, or a mix of both? In this Start Here episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I respond to a thoughtful mum whose daughter is about to receive compensation money from a childhood accident. The money has grown only modestly with inflation over the last 15 years (to around $31,000 today), and her mother wants to guide her wisely. This episode is about more than dollars, it’s about education, empowerment, and helping a young woman build confidence with money. Here’s what we cover: 💰 Cash for short-term goals - why money needed in the next few years (car, study, housing) should stay in cash for safety. 📈 Investing for the long term - how shares, LICs, and ETFs can grow over decades, and the importance of risk profiling. 🔀 Splitting the difference - why she doesn’t have to choose all or nothing, and how a “buckets” approach can provide both security and growth. 📚 Learning first - why reading personal finance books and listening to podcasts helps young people take ownership of their money decisions. 👩‍🎓 Superannuation - why setting this up early with the right investment option creates a powerful head start. ⚡ Advanced strategies (later in life) - an introduction to gearing (borrowing to invest), why it’s higher risk, and why it should only be considered in the future with proper advice. ✨ The bigger picture - how this money is not just a gift, but an opportunity to become a strong, independent, and financially confident woman. The key takeaway? There’s no single “right” answer - but with education, patience, and empowerment, this gift can become the foundation of lifelong financial freedom. 💬 Let’s Keep the Conversation Going I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!
