PODCASTS

The Australian Finance Podcast

by Lorna Gordon
What better way to end the year than looking to making next year better for us ? Money is something many people don ’ t like to talk about , it ’ s rare for people to discuss investments , savings , how they are working towards getting rid of debt , but it is something we can all benefit from knowing more about .
This Aussie-based podcast is a great window into all things finance . They discuss a variety of topics , from the basics , how to keep financial records - which is something we could all do with getting on top of better , to getting financial help and what to do about your will and estate and inheritance .
They also discuss more in depth subjects like setting financial goals , how to get financial freedom and how to invest your money .
I like that they cover some lighthearted topics as well , like 8 ways to buy happiness or how to become a millionaire without winning the lottery ( and no , it ’ s not a get rich quick scheme !)
I really think that we should all be educating ourselves better about our finances , regardless of how much we earn or have in the bank , because we can all make changes to our habits which can benefit us long term .
If you want to listen and see how you can be smarter with your money in 2023 , you can find the Aussie Finance Podcast on Spotify , Apple or other streaming services or go to www . raskmedia . com . au / podcasts / australianfinance-podcast .
