The Broke Generation

In this episode of The Comments Section, we explore the complexities of convenience and how it influences our spending choices. With the rise of modcons (modern conveniences, yes it's a real term!), we ask when paying for ease really adds value and when it’s just a clever marketing trap. We weigh the cost of time saved against the convenience of tech, gadgets, and delivery services, questioning if they truly solve our problems or create new ones. We also share practical ways to create convenience on our own terms, without the hefty price tag. From rethinking the convenience of certain purchases to offering simple, budget-friendly solutions, we share ideas on how to simplify life without sacrificing quality. We want to know—what’s your ultimate modcon? Hit us up on socials and let us know! With thanks to our sponsors, Wallace Advocates and Lending Solved.

Welcome back to The Comments Section! In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be good with money. Is it the numbers in your account, or is it the behaviours and attitudes you cultivate along the way? Inspired by personal stories and fresh insights, we explore how saving alongside debt repayment can rewire your relationship with money and why financial success is about progress, not perfection. From redefining financial goals to embracing the idea that change happens in the doing, this conversation will challenge how you measure worth and success. Plus, Victoria shares the scoop on her upcoming book, Know Your Worth, a deep dive into healing your relationship with money and yourself.
