Ever feel like your money goals are at war with your life goals? Like one minute you’re saving for a house… and the next you’re convincing yourself a Euro summer is “an investment in personal growth”? This week’s DM came from someone stuck right there... her partner’s all-in on buying a home, while she’s eyeing flights. And honestly? We get it. Because trying to choose between living life and getting ahead feels like an impossible math problem. So we’re unpacking whether travel really sets you back… or if it’s just a different kind of wealth that doesn’t show up in your net worth. Victoria's breaking down how to make those big-money decisions (trips, weddings, babies, the whole lot) without losing sight of Future You, or resenting Current You for having fun. And speaking of big milestones… we’re also getting real about how to actually prep for parental leave. From test-driving life on one income to building a “sanity fund” that actually covers what you’ll really need, not just the boring stuff. Plus, it's Friday so there's all the money wins, broke tips and money goss you love.
