She's on the Money

Imagine explaining to someone from 1950 that we're tracking imaginary parcels for entertainment 🫣⁠

I stumbled across a Vice article this week about South Korea's new "dopamine sites" and immediately dropped it into our team chat because I genuinely couldn't decide whether it was genius or completely dystopian.⁠

What are your thoughts?

Happy Monday, friends!!! Here to tell you that next week, your super is getting a software update. (Kind of.)⁠
⁠
A new rule means employers will soon need to pay your super every payday instead of potentially waiting months to send it through. What does that mean for you? More of your money getting invested sooner, which means more time for compounding to work its magic.⁠

A rare example of admin getting an upgrade really.

Let’s chat credit cards, shall we? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: plastic is NOT fantastic… unless you really know what you’re doing.⁠
⁠
There are so many reasons people think they need one. For the points, the emergencies, to “build their credit.” And look, they’re not evil. But if you don’t understand how they actually work, that’s when things get messy.⁠
⁠
No one gets a credit card planning to end up in debt (trust me, I didn’t either). But the system makes it so easy to fall into the trap and so much harder to climb back out.⁠
⁠
We get messages about credit cards all the time so if you're thinking about applying for one, or already have one and feel like it’s running the show, we’ve got a whole episode for you.⁠
🎧 I see it, I like it, I want it, I got (credit card) debt

this week was *huge* at SOTM HQ, we recorded our 1000th podcast episode!! Whattt do you mean we've spoken enough to reach such a huge milestone? Still wrapping our heads around that. Naturally, we MUST celebrate, so we've got some super fun things in the works for when it goes live in a couple of weeks (it's giving go big or go home).⁠
⁠
And while helping women feel more confident with money remains our number one priority, the group chat was also busy tackling some equally pressing issues this week: DCC season 3, beverage preferences, hydration salt rankings, whether Victoria's back is okay and other matters of national importance. So, we thought we'd share some of them with the wider community (aka you reading this) and get your take on these very important topics too👀

Not to add another thing to your to do list, but this one could literally pay off!!!
