What should you actually do with a bonus or inheritance? 💸 Jess Brady breaks it down.

Got a work bonus? Or maybe you're expecting (or received) an inheritance? In this episode, Molly Benjamin Founder of Ladies Finance Club chats with award-winning financial adviser Jess Brady about how to make the most of unexpected lump sums — without blowing it all on a new handbag and a holiday (tempting, we know).

Because let’s be honest — most of us spend the money in our heads before it even hits our bank account!

We cover:
The best way to think about a bonus or inheritance
How to split up lump sums using the buckets method
Whether to use it to invest, pay down debt, or boost your home deposit
The mindset shifts that stop guilt or decision overwhelm
And Jess’s #1 piece of advice for anyone receiving a financial windfall
