For years, our Money Diarist thought she was doing okay financially—bills were paid, life was good, and saving for the future? That was a later problem. But at 45, she read her first finance book changed everything. Suddenly, she realised she had no real plan, no investments, and no idea how to make her money work for her.

Fast forward to today, and she and her partner are completely debt-free, traveling full-time, and working just six months a year to fund their dream lifestyle. No mortgage, no office job, no regrets. In this episode, she shares exactly how she turned things around, why she walked away from the traditional homeownership path, and how she’s building financial security—on her terms.

If you've ever thought "it's too late to start", this episode will change your mind.

Have you ever felt like you can’t log off, can’t say no, and can’t ask for more money? Welcome to hustle culture, where doing more for the same pay has somehow become normal. This week, we’re unpacking a community dilemma about being overworked and underpaid, and asking: When is it worth pushing back, asking for a raise, or walking away?

We’re also breaking down ATO activity statements... what they are, why you might have received one, and whether you actually owe money. Because let’s be honest, anything from the ATO is enough to make us nervous.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Friday ep without money wins and broke tips. Including how one listener is turning recycling into cash, a gaming hack that made an easy $50, and the most awkward budget dating move we’ve heard in a while.

Imagine moving to a new country with just $1,000 to your name—no job, no safety net, and no real plan… except for a leap of faith. That’s exactly what this week’s Money Diarist did when she packed up her life in Brazil and landed in Australia. To save money, she lived on a boat for two years, traded a car for an electric bike, and built a life from the ground up. Now, she’s paid off her car, launched a side hustle, and is on track to buy her first property. If you’ve ever thought about making a bold life change (or just want to be inspired by someone who did), this one’s for you!

Would you walk away from a six-figure salary? For many of us, climbing the career ladder and reaching financial milestones feels like the ultimate goal. But when this week’s Money Diarist and her husband hit a household income of over $200K, they realised that success wasn’t just about the numbers. When they became parents, the long hours, the career grind, and the constant pressure to earn more no longer felt like the right fit. So, they made a huge decision—they stepped back from high-paying jobs to put their family first. Now, they’re adjusting to a lower income, a mortgage, and a completely new way of thinking about financial security. Was it the right move? Do they have any regrets? And what can we learn from their experience? Tune in to hear how they’re making it work.
