She's On The Money

Some of us want to buy a house. Some of us wanna retire early. Some of us want a little more coin on the other side of our retirement. No matter what your financial goals are, here are our very best tips for making $100k by the time you turn 35.
Join Victoria and Bec on the Deep Dive couch as they discuss how to tackle this goal in three parts: earning, spending and managing your money. Plus, some things you can do to ensure that there aren’t any leaks in your budget, or in your ongoing income.
And if you happen to be on the other side of 35 already, these solid money habits are still worth considering to amplify your wealth in the long run.

At 18, this week’s Money Diarist was approached at work by a man who told her she could make serious money at a club. Plot twist: it was a strip club.
She went from earning almost nothing to making hundreds of dollars an hour, and at one point tracked nearly $200,000 in cash earnings over a relatively short period. The problem? She was spending almost as quickly as she could earn it. Then life changed completely. She left the industry, became a mum in her early twenties and went from being fiercely financially independent to relying almost entirely on her partner. When that relationship eventually ended, she realised she had no savings, barely any super, very little career history and, at one point, just $11 to her name.Now 32, remarried with three children, she’s rebuilt things very differently. She earns $120,000 across two jobs, has helped turn her husband’s sole trader business into a company, started her own business, bought land for their future home and completely overhauled the way they manage money. It’s chaotic, incredibly candid and a pretty fascinating look at what happens when you’ve experienced both extremes of money, from earning thousands in a night to having almost nothing of your own. And perhaps the biggest lesson? Making a lot of money and actually building financial security are two very different things.

Chats about super are slipping by the wayside, so we’re running it back for all the baddies who are ready to salary sacrifice for their retirement.
On this week’s Deep Dive, Bec and Victoria are discussing the power of your superannuation to completely transform your wealth today (as a lucrative tax vehicle) and well-into the future. The gang explains what superannuation is, how salary sacrificing works, and how you might work your wealth to better support your long-term investments.
Tune in to hear about the First Home Super Saver (FHSS), the relevant contribution caps for the current income year FY27 and why your accountant keeps bugging you to make top-up payments to lower your tax bill.

At 27, this week’s Money Diarist has two STEM degrees, earns $140,000 a year, has $90,000 in super and owns a townhouse two kilometres from the beach. And no, there wasn’t a giant cheque from Mum and Dad hiding somewhere in the background. After becoming financially independent young and spending her uni years juggling study and work, she and her partner made buying a home one of their first big goals after graduating. They used the First Home Super Saver Scheme and First Home Guarantee to buy a $650,000 townhouse with a $40,000 deposit in 2024. Two years later, it’s estimated to be worth around $810,000, their mortgage is down to $575,000 and their extra repayments have already shaved four years off the life of their loan. We talk about exactly how she used the First Home Super Saver Scheme, why they still have a housemate despite earning good money, her $30,000 HECS debt, salary sacrificing into super and the very cute joint account that basically tells her and her partner when they’re overdue for a date night. Because earning more is great. But building systems that mean the money actually goes somewhere? Even better.
