    287. Emergency funds when you're close to FIRE (part 2)
    Jul 22 2026
    What happens to your emergency fund once you've actually built some wealth? Following straight on from their emergency funds 101 episode, Tash and Ana tackle the advanced version: offsets, debt recycling, business structures, and whether you even need a cash buffer once your portfolio could catch you. If part one was about building the safety net, this one is about rethinking it once the net is bigger than the fall. (New to emergency funds? Go listen to part one first.)In this episode we'll discuss:💸 Where your emergency fund lives when your whole home loan is debt recycled: Ana's spreadsheet session with her partner, and why the answer might be an offset that "kind of defeats the purpose"💸 Tash's confession: no personal emergency fund at all — how roughly $220,000 sitting in her businesses works as a backstop, and the tax trade-off of paying yourself out only when you need it💸 Fully offset mortgage? That IS your emergency fund — why neither host would keep a separate cash pile on top of a million dollars in the offset💸 The 55-day credit card strategy: bridging emergencies with interest-free periods and paying it off with dividends or rent (an advanced, "it hurts my soul to say this" play with plenty of disclaimers)💸 Renting while heavily invested: rent rises, the moving buffer you always need, and whether selling shares in a 20% downturn is really as bad as it feels💸 Finding your "sleep at night number" — why the right buffer at this stage is as much emotional as mathematicalThe further along you get, the less the three-to-six-months rule matters and the more your structures, cash flow and risk tolerance take over. Mistakes hurt less as things snowball — but leverage cuts both ways, so run your own numbers and know your worst case. Consider this episode your permission slip to think about it out loud.Happy EOFY from pearler!

    286. Emergency funds 101: how much you need and where to keep it (part 1)
    Jul 20 2026
    Emergency funds might not be the most thrilling topic in personal finance, but they're the foundation everything else sits on. In this first of two back-to-back episodes, Tash and Ana cover the 101: what actually counts as an emergency, how much you need, and where to keep it. Whether you're starting with your first $1,000 or wondering if your buffer is big enough, this is the place to start. (Already sorted? The part 2 drops on Thursday.)In this episode we'll discuss:💸 What counts as an emergency (job loss, car repairs, vet bills, last-minute flights home) and what definitely doesn't (Christmas comes every year — plan for it)💸 The maths of skipping the buffer: why a $3,000 car repair on a 20% credit card can undo an investment returning 7%, and how bad expenses love arriving all at once💸 How to calculate your number: add up essential monthly expenses and multiply by three to six — a worked example where $3,500 a month means a fund of $10,500 to $21,000💸 When to lean towards three months (stable job, no dependents, family to fall back on) versus six or more (sole income earner, self-employed with lumpy income, kids, or planned parental leave)💸 Where to keep it: high interest savings or your offset — not term deposits, not shares, and watch out for honeymoon rates and hoop-jumping bonus interest conditions💸 Tash's $20K "I just like the look of it" approach versus Ana's full year of expenses, and why the emotional side of the number matters as much as the mathsAn emergency fund isn't optional, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming either — start with $1,000 and build from there. And if you have to dip into it? That's literally what it's for. Use it, feel zero guilt, and top it back up.Happy EOFY from pearler!

    285. Investing for your 40's
    Jul 15 2026
    If you're heading into your 40s (or already there) and worried you've missed the investing boat, this one's for you. Following their episodes on investing in your 20s and 30s, Tash and Ana tackle the decade where compounding starts pulling its weight, but mortgages, kids, ageing parents and lifestyle creep are all fighting for the same dollar. Ahead, behind or starting from scratch, it's not too late.In this episode we'll discuss:💸 The maths of starting at 40: how $1,400 a month at a 7% return (not guaranteed) could make you a millionaire by 65, and why smaller amounts still count💸 A timely scam warning: the fake accounts and WhatsApp groups impersonating Tash, how to spot an imposter, and what to do if you've been caught💸 Why your 40s call for a more serious setup: super contributions to reduce taxable income, carry forward rules, insurances, and when a financial adviser's fee starts being worth it💸 The $100,000 deck conversation: Ana's framework for lifestyle creep ("if someone gifted you the money, would you actually spend it on this?")💸 Why feeling behind is the worst reason to take on more risk, and the Princeton research linking financial stress to a 13-point IQ drop💸 Protecting what you're building: wills, executors, logins and the "death binder" that spares your family a scramble at the hardest possible timeYour 40s are often the decade where the habits and decisions of the past 20 years start showing up in your net worth. Wherever you're at, the goal stays the same: build a portfolio that gives future you more choices. That might just start with this episode.Happy EOFY from pearler!
