Would you love to start and investing club with your friends? That’s exactly what this week’s Money Diarist did. Inspired by the investing club her mum started with friends more than two decades ago, she sent a message to a few girlfriends with a simple idea. What if they pooled a little money together, learned about the share market as they went, and invested as a group? That message turned into a fully fledged club called ASX in the City. There’s a shared account, monthly contributions, spreadsheets tracking their portfolio and a voting system for deciding which stocks make the cut. Along the way they’ve learned about ETFs, picked a few winners, had the occasional “problem child” investment and built something many people wish they had… a space where talking about money actually feels normal. In this episode she shares how the club works, what they’ve learned along the way and why investing doesn’t have to be something you figure out alone. By the end of this episode there’s a very good chance you’ll be hitting up your friends to start your own ASX and the City.

You're saving. You’re investing. You’re working towards your financial goals..... and yet somehow you’re still stuck in the exact same place? This week’s Friday Drinks is all about that weird financial headspace where you technically know you’re doing the right things, but it doesn’t feel like progress, because you've got so many goals you're working towards. We talk about why that feeling is way more common than you think, and the simple shift that can help you actually see the momentum you’ve already built. Then we get into a career debate that a lot of you will have opinions on. A community member is six months into a job that’s seriously affecting their mental health and keeps hearing the same advice from older generations: never leave before 12 months. But is that actually still true in today’s job market… or are we holding ourselves to rules that don’t really apply anymore? Plus we've got all your fave money wins and broke tips,Friday fun to start the weekend right.

What would actually happen if you couldn’t work tomorrow… and your income just stopped? Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: Insurance isn’t gender neutral. Women experience more time out of the workforce, more chronic and reproductive health conditions, more mental health claims, and we live longer. This episode breaks down exactly how being a woman changes your insurance, why women claim more, and what that means for your safety net. If you’ve ever assumed your cover is “probably fine” because it’s in your super, this episode might change your mind.

In this ep:
💸The uncomfortable stat behind why women claim more
💸What a past mental health diagnosis really does to an application (and why it’s not always permanent)
💸Why pregnancy, mat leave and part time work can affect your cover
💸How conditions like endometriosis, PCOS and family cancer history are actually assessed
💸Trauma vs income protection vs private health, and why they are not interchangeable
💸When exclusions can be reassessed, reduced, or removed entirely
💸Why DIY applications can accidentally make you uninsurable
