Financial Disclaimer

Just a heads up - this episode contains a fair bit of swearing (because sometimes money and career talk gets passionate). If you're listening with little ears around, you might want to pop in some headphones!

We’re throwing it back to June 2023 for this gem of an episode - because career smarts never go out of style. In this one, we chat with the incredible Sharyn Casey about the financial side of work: how to negotiate a pay rise with confidence (and without sweating through your shirt), why loyalty in a job can be a financial win (but also when to walk away), and how diversifying your skill set can protect your income long-term. We also dive into the money lessons that start at home - how Sharyn teaches her kids about saving and spending, how she and her partner merged their finances without the stress, and the top money tip from her mum that completely changed the way she budgets. It was a great chat then, and it’s just as relevant now - enjoy this one from the archives!

"No one has ever saved their way to being a millionaire." Investing is the real game-changer - but don’t worry, we’ll show you how. The Curve’s Investing Club is your no-BS guide to growing your money, with expert insights, exclusive perks, and a community that actually gets it. Ready to level up? Join here.

Final Thoughts & Key Takeaways

Thank you for listening!

Well, well, well… Tesla’s stock is on a wild ride, and it’s got nothing to do with self-driving cars. This week, we’re diving into why Elon Musk’s political antics are spooking investors and why some Tesla owners are slapping bumper stickers on their cars that basically scream, “I bought this before I knew he was nuts.” Plus, we chat about whether this stock slump is a golden buying opportunity or a moral dilemma. We also cover the latest on interest rate cuts (good news for borrowers, meh news for savers), the ongoing battle over TikTok, the sneaky tactics of discount-shopping giant Temu, and Shein’s rocky road to going public. And to top it off, we discuss why female athletes are still being shortchanged - literally.
