  • Brain biases, tiaras and talking money
    Nov 17 2025

    For the final episode of Minted Kids for Season 1, Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon takes the hot seat herself and submits to a grilling by her daughter, Darcy, and her friend, Evie, about how a money educator teaches her OWN children about money… and some secret (questionable) spending!

    Guess what? Nicole owns a Tiara – that she’s never even worn!

    But there were some brain biases at play in that joint purchase with her daughter, of which kids – and adults! - need to be aware.

    And her “Future You” approach is working wonders with her kids’ savings habits.
    “I loved recording this episode with my wonderful girl,” Nicole says. <3

  • Ep 7: Pocket money and little Aussie savers
    Nov 10 2025

    How much pocket money do Aussie parents pay? Do you pay more or less than average?

    And how are families making their kids work for it??

    Yish Koh has special insight, being both a behavioural finance expert and the founder of pocketmoney app Kit… and we asked her to mine the usage data for this episode of Minted Kids.

    It reveals how Australian families apply this most vital of money lessons – kids’ first ‘salary’… AND how they spend it.

    Yish believes it’s never too early to start teaching kids the finance fundamentals and we also go behind the scenes with her – AND her 5-year-old son, Tristan – to hear the clever money conversations that happen in THEIR household.
