Imagine being 19 years old, earning $140,000 a year and feeling absolutely terrified every time you think about money. Sounds like a pretty good problem to have, right? Except when you're so overwhelmed by the responsibility of making the right decisions that you don't know where to start. It might sound unrelatable, but it's a conversation we can all learn from. 

This week, we're helping a young woman who's earning more than most people twice her age but is struggling with serious money anxiety. She wants to set herself up financially, especially knowing she might not want to stay in her current job forever. So how do you stop being scared of money and start feeling confident about what to do with it?

Plus, a 31-year-old has finally checked her superannuation balance and realised it's much lower than she expected. After years of travelling, studying and working casually, she's worried she's fallen behind. Should she switch to a high-growth investment option to catch up, or is taking on more risk just asking for trouble? We're talking risk profiles, salary sacrificing and why being 31 doesn't mean you've missed your chance to build a comfortable retirement.

And because it's Friday Drinks, we're also celebrating some seriously impressive Money Wins, sharing Broke Tips that could save you a small fortune and debating which fictional universe we'd actually survive in. Apparently, some of us are heading to Whoville and others have much more questionable plans.

Grab a drink, friends. We're talking money fears, financial futures and why getting your finances together doesn't have to mean having everything figured out.
