Welcome to What The Finance, Mamamia's new podcast all about getting good with money.

How many bank accounts do you have? Pallavi Sharda, like many of us, has one, but according to our financial expert Mel Browne, one is not enough. And to get good with money, you need at least four, if not more.

This episode is all about savings, budgeting, and debt. But before you switch off at the mention of the dreaded b-word or d-word, it doesn't have to be scary. And we’re going to share with you practical ways you can make a difference to your financial situation. 

We’ll talk you through making tangible goals, planning out ways to eliminate debt, and setting up good habits so you can be on your way to becoming financially adult.
