She's On The Money

Finding it hard to keep your cool when share prices are plummeting? Tap ‘play’ for instant relief from hasty portfolio decisions.
In this week’s Friday Drinks, we’re reminding one wary investor of how it pays to stay level-headed when the sharemarket has you feeling off-kilter. If you too are wondering if you should sell your shares during an economic downturn, this episode may have you reconsidering things.
The DM gods have delivered! This week we discuss a destination wedding-themed dilemma that questions how much you should gift a family member, if you’re already attending their very expensive overseas wedding. And, yes, we cover whether they’ve specified, ‘no gifts expected’. And whether they mean it.
Plus, Jess will be sharing Money Wins from within the community and Bec’s got Broke Tips to help push your dollar further.
This week’s Question of the Week? Guess you (and your pet) will have to tune in to find out…

The cash rate. It’s up. It’s down. Honestly, it’s giving ‘chaos’ when it comes to our everyday spending. Almost as if the cash rate rules everything around us… In this week’s Deep Dive, we’re taking on the RBA; who they are, what they do, and how they call the shots when it comes to the cash rate.
We’ll explain how often they meet, what facts influence their rate decisions and how to be more financially prepared for whatever they throw at us. Because whether you’re investing, running a business, looking for a job or simply trying to get by, the cash rate impacts us all.
Consider this episode a cheat sheet for what the Reserve Bank of Australia actually looks like and how to read the signs before the notifications roll in. We’re covering all the gory details including: inflation data, unemployment rates, wage growth, everyday spending, housing prices and how global factors impact our economy.
With real life examples, plus savvy money moves you can make to help prepare for the shifts, this episode will help you finally make sense of it all. So, if you’ve been a bit mystified by the RBA, how they decide on our cash rate, and why those rates might cause celebration or commiseration, this episode’s for you.

She went from owing money to everyone… to building her dream home.
This week’s Money Diary is a story about starting over. After having kids and going through a separation, she found herself navigating life as a single mum on one income, with the kind of financial pressure that leaves no room for error.
But instead of staying stuck, she rebuilt.
New mindset, new boundaries, and a completely different approach to money and relationships. Now she’s earning six figures in sales, has a deposit ready, and is about to start building her home.
We get into what actually changed, how she approached money the second time around, and why being honest about finances early on made all the difference.
It’s a reminder that your money story isn’t fixed… even if it feels like it is.

Be honest… are you actually spending more, or does it just feel that way?
In this week’s Friday Drinks, we’re unpacking the very real confusion between lifestyle creep and the rising cost of literally everything. If you’ve looked at your bank account lately and thought “how am I spending this much when I’m not even doing anything outrageous?”… this one’s for you.
We’re also diving into a DM that hits a little close to home. What happens when you’re the one making all the financial decisions in your relationship… not because you want to control everything, but because your partner just isn’t interested? How do you get them involved without turning into the nag, and how do you stop carrying the guilt?
Plus, as always:
Jess brings the community money wins
Bec delivers broke tips that actually work (especially if you’re in your “survival week” era)
And we answer your Question of the Week, which might make you feel very seen…

If you’ve opened your investing app lately and immediately closed it again… this one’s for you.
The share market has been all over the place, headlines are talking about global uncertainty, and it’s very easy to feel like you should be doing something with your investments or your superannuation right now.
So let’s talk about it.
Victoria and Bec break down what’s actually driving the market movements, what’s behind the recent drops, and how global events are flowing through to Australia and your portfolio.
And more importantly… what to do next.
Because when the market dips, the instinct to panic, sell your investments, or switch your super to something “safer” can feel like the right move… but it’s often the most expensive one.
If you’ve been wondering what to do when the market drops, or feeling unsure about your investing strategy right now, this will help you make sense of it and feel a whole lot calmer about what comes next.
