Does your credit card make you feel safe? 🛟

It's a really common feeling. But building your own emergency fund can give you that same peace of mind – without the fees.

The banks are banking on your credit card 🏦

Late payment fees, annual fees and interest all add up – and the "use the bank's money" theory only works if you pay the full balance every single month.

Mel shares why banks are so keen for you to have a credit card in our latest episode.

We're in the process of onboarding new workplace financial wellbeing programs for 2027.

If you're working on next year's wellbeing strategy, now’s a good time to talk with us about where financial wellbeing could fit in your organisation.

New programs often need internal approvals and budget sign-off, so starting the conversation early gives you room to plan a rollout that works for your people.

Do you really need a credit card?

"I don't pay interest" is one of the most common things we hear – but it's worth taking a closer look at what your card is actually costing you.

In this week’s episode, we talk about:
● Why the "use the bank's money" theory doesn't add up for most people
● Whether frequent flyer points are really worth it
● Why an emergency fund beats a credit card in the drawer
● Simple first steps to getting off your credit card

Plus, Mel and Darlene share their latest money truths about letting go as their kids grow into adults.

It’s never too early to talk about money with your partner – even when you’re happy ❤️

Knowing your numbers and having open conversations early are two of the best things you can do for your future. And if you’re already going through a separation, a fair third party can help you see the situation clearly and move forward with confidence.

That’s this week’s TMC Take. Listen to the full conversation in our latest episode.

If you're going through a separation and want to know whether you can keep the house, getting your information early gives you time to plan.

And if any finance professionals make you feel like you need to "come ready", you're simply talking to the wrong people.

Mel and Darlene share more in our latest episode – out now.

How much do you want to spend today – and how much do you want to set aside for tomorrow? 🤔

The answer will change with your life stage and circumstances. Some seasons you'll focus on building future resilience, and others you'll need to spend more on the here and now. The key is making it a deliberate choice.

Hear Mel and Darlene's money truths in our latest episode.

● The assumptions people make about who can keep the family home
● Why it's never too early to find out your borrowing capacity
● How to make decisions on your own terms, one step at a time
● The experts who can help you along the way

Plus, Mel and Darlene share their latest money truths – from life not going to plan to finally prioritising long-term savings.
