So… what is the magic number you should have when it comes to savings? Is it a neat percentage, a chunky dollar figure, or three months of bills sitting pretty in your account? This week we’re spilling the tea on how to work out your number, so you can stop guessing and start saving with a plan that actually makes sense for your life. Then we chat about what to do when financial advice doesn’t pass the vibe check. A community member was told to merge their life savings with their partner. Cute in theory, terrifying in practice. So, what do you do when the “experts” say one thing but your gut says absolutely not? We’re pulling apart the red flags, the real questions to ask, and why protecting yourself is the ultimate power move. And because it’s Friday, you know the chaos is here too: money wins (like a $340 dress scored for $80), broke tips that actually slap, and a ferret side hustle we did not see coming.
Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats? Check out our oh-so-bingeable Friday Drinks playlist. Listen here.
