30 SEP. 2026 · Buy a house. Pay it off. Avoid debt. Credit cards are bad.
Your first home should be somewhere you can stay forever.Sound familiar?
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Maryanne and Bec unpack some of the money and property advice many of us grew up with — and ask whether it still makes sense in today's financial and property landscape.The reality is that property prices, mortgages, lifestyles and the way people build wealth have changed significantly.
That doesn't necessarily mean the advice our parents gave us was wrong — but it might not always fit the goals we're working towards today.Maryanne and Bec chat about rentvesting, whether paying off your mortgage as quickly as possible should always be the goal, principal and interest vs interest-only loans, using credit cards strategically, buying your first home and why there's no single “right” way to build wealth.They also dive into how our own upbringing influences the way we think about money — and the financial lessons we're now passing on to the next generation.In this episode:
• Why financial advice from parents and family isn't always one-size-fits-all
• What rentvesting is and why people choose to rent where they want to live while investing elsewhere
• Paying down debt vs investing and building wealth
• Principal & interest vs interest-only home loans
• Why an interest-only strategy that works for an investor may not suit a first home buyer
• Whether credit cards are actually “bad” — or whether it comes down to how they're used
• Using an offset account and understanding your spending
• Why your first home doesn't have to be your forever home
• Getting into the property market without ticking every box
• Property investing and alternative ownership structures
• Why accountants and other professionals can be an important part of investment decisions
• Teaching kids about money, work and starting from scratch
• The importance of defining your own financial goals
Ultimately, the message is simple: listen to the advice, educate yourself, ask questions and then decide what works for your circumstances and your goals.
There is more than one way to build wealth — and someone else's financial strategy doesn't automatically need to become yours.

23 SEP. 2026 · Does being an award-winning mortgage broker automatically mean someone is better at their job?
Does a Certificate IV suddenly make someone experienced?
And when you're choosing a broker, should you be looking at qualifications, awards, years in the industry… or something completely different?
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Maryanne and Bec get into the reality of the mortgage broking industry and how much perception can influence who we trust.
Bec has officially completed her Certificate IV in Mortgage Broking, which sparks a conversation about how differently people can be perceived once they have a qualification, even when they've already spent around 20 years working in finance.
From there, we get into broker experience, lender relationships, referral partners, industry politics, awards, social proof and what clients should actually look for when choosing someone to help with their home loan.
We also talk about why experience in finance matters, but why nobody ever knows everything. Lender policies change constantly, different banks suit different clients, and even experienced brokers are still learning every day.
In this episode, we cover:
- Does a mortgage broking qualification automatically make someone experienced?
- The difference between finance experience and broking experience
- Why lender policies are constantly changing
- Why brokers need to understand more than one lender
- What makes a broker suitable for a complex situation?
- How referral relationships work in the mortgage industry
- Why Maryanne and Bec choose not to accept referral kickbacks
- Why talking about money can feel incredibly personal
- What questions you should ask a mortgage broker
- Should you ask a broker how they get paid?
- Should you ask which lenders they use most?
- Why personality and trust matter when choosing a broker
- Why some brokers are naturally more sales-focused than others
- Mortgage broker awards and how the award submission process works
- Why being award-winning doesn't necessarily mean someone is the best broker for you
- What does success actually look like?
- Why your gut feeling matters when choosing professional advisers
One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is simple:
Don't choose someone based purely on what things look like from the outside.Awards, job titles, qualifications and social media can all be helpful indicators, but they don't tell the full story.
Ask questions. Find out about their experience. Understand how they work. And make sure you feel comfortable talking openly with the person who is helping you with one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.🏡

16 SEP. 2026 · What actually happens to your money, property and super when you die?
And if you already have a will, can you just tick that box and forget about it forever?
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Maryanne and Bec welcome their very first guest, Elizabeth from Ardor Legal, to talk about the stuff most of us know we should organise… but somehow keep pushing to the bottom of the to-do list: wills, enduring powers of attorney and estate planning.
And there are a few myths busted along the way.
We chat about:
- Who actually needs a will and why it isn't just for wealthy people
- What happens if you die without a will
- Why having children can be an important trigger to review your estate planning
- When you should update or review your will
- What happens after separation or divorce
- What an executor actually does
- Probate and letters of administration explained in normal language
- Whether your debts disappear when you die
- Why DIY will kits can create problems
- What happens when parents and children buy property together
- Why family agreements can matter when multiple generations own or contribute to property
- Whether your superannuation automatically forms part of your estate
- Binding death benefit nominations and why some need to be renewed
- What an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) actually does
- Who can make financial, personal and health decisions for you if you lose capacity
- Estate planning considerations for business owners, trusts and SMSFs
- How to choose the right executor or attorney
One of the biggest takeaways?
Estate planning isn't necessarily a set-and-forget exercise.
Life changes. You might get married or separated, have children, buy property, start a business, build wealth, lose someone you've nominated in your will or simply realise the decisions you made years ago no longer reflect your life today.
Elizabeth suggests periodically pulling your will out and asking:
Does this still reflect what I actually want?We also discover that your will may not control everything you think it does particularly when it comes to superannuation, companies, trusts and other structures.
And because this is Dollars & Distractions, we finish with a slightly less conventional estate-planning question:
Who gets the handbags, AirPods, passwords, social media accounts… and Dollars & Distractions itself? 😂

9 SEP. 2026 · Ever looked at your income and thought, “I earn good money… so where the hell does it all go?”
You're definitely not the only one.
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Maryanne and Bec unpack why earning a good income doesn't necessarily mean feeling financially comfortable, especially when the cost of living, lifestyle creep, kids, mortgages, holidays, cars and all those sneaky little expenses start piling up.
We talk about how earning more can sometimes lead to spending more, why the definition of a "good income" has changed dramatically, and how a lifestyle that looks comfortable from the outside can actually require a pretty serious income just to maintain.
We also get into:
- Why lifestyle creep can happen without you even noticing
- How the rising cost of living is eating into Australian household incomes
- Why a bigger salary doesn't automatically mean you're better with money
- The difference between being able to buy something and being able to comfortably afford the lifestyle that comes with it
- Why self-employed people need to think differently about the money sitting in their business account
- How subscriptions, insurance and everyday expenses quietly drain your cash
- Why reviewing a month of actual spending can be a massive eye-opener
- What to do with the money you free up after plugging your spending "leaks"
- Why comparing your financial position to someone else's can be completely misleading
- And why having only $400 in savings at 37 doesn't mean you're screwed
Plus, we introduce a new segment:
Dollars & Distractions Confessions 👀Our first question:
“I'm 37, earn $120,000 a year and have $400 in savings. Am I screwed?”
Spoiler: No.
Your age isn't your financial deadline, and someone else's financial position isn't your measuring stick.
The better question is: What do YOU actually want your money to help you achieve?
Once you know that, you can start working backwards and build a plan.
🎧 Listen now for money conversations without the judgement, plenty of distractions, and a reminder that earning more isn't always the answer, sometimes you just need to know where it's going.

2 SEP. 2026 · Why is your friend's home loan interest rate lower than yours?
And does that automatically mean you're getting a bad deal?
Not necessarily.
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Maryanne and Bec unpack one of the most common questions mortgage brokers hear, “What's the cheapest home loan interest rate at the moment?”
The problem is, there isn't one interest rate that's automatically right for everyone.
Your home loan rate can be affected by your deposit, Loan to Value Ratio (LVR), loan balance, employment situation, lender, loan features, offset accounts and whether you've chosen a fixed or variable rate.
That's before we even start looking at what you're trying to achieve in the short and long term.
We also talk about why a lender with a higher interest rate can sometimes be the right stepping stone. If that lender can help you achieve your immediate goal, there may be an opportunity to refinance or negotiate a better rate later when your circumstances change.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Why home loan interest rates vary between borrowers
- Why the lowest rate isn't necessarily the best loan
- How your deposit and LVR can affect your interest rate
- Why lenders price different borrowers differently
- How loan size can affect lender pricing
- Home loans for self employed borrowers
- Using specialist lenders as a stepping stone
- Refinancing when your financial position changes
- Government home buyer schemes
- Offset accounts and how they work
- Basic vs packaged home loans
- Fixed vs variable home loans
- Why fees and comparison rates matter
- The importance of checking that your offset is actually offsetting your mortgage
- Why comparing your mortgage rate with someone else's can be misleading
Plus, in true Dollars & Distractions fashion, there are plenty of detours involving angry birds attacking cars, ChatGPT, $8 chocolate and an investigation into what a soapbox actually is.
The key takeaway?Don't judge a home loan on the interest rate alone.The right loan is the one that suits your circumstances, goals and longer term plans.And if you're ever wondering why you're paying the rate you're paying, ask the question.A good mortgage broker should be able to explain why your loan was recommended, whether it still suits your circumstances and whether there could be a better option available.

26 AGO. 2026 · Should you pay off debt, put extra money into savings, pay down your mortgage or invest it?
It’s one of those personal finance questions that sounds like it should have a simple answer, but it doesn’t.
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Mez and Bec chat about what to consider when deciding what to do with extra money, including whether you should pay off credit cards and personal loans, build your savings, put money into an offset account, pay down your home loan, contribute to superannuation or consider investing.
The answer will be different for everyone because your financial goals, stage of life, existing debts, future plans and attitude towards risk all play a part.
Pay Off Debt or Save Your Money?
If you have extra cash available, should you use your savings to clear your debts?
We discuss why the answer isn’t always as straightforward as simply saying, “pay off your debt.”
For example, someone planning to buy a home soon may have very different priorities from someone who already owns a property and is thinking about investing for the future.
There can also be a difference between the decision that makes the most sense financially and the one that best suits your lifestyle and personal goals.Should You Pay Down Your Mortgage or Use an Offset Account?
We also unpack an important question for homeowners, should you make extra repayments on your mortgage or keep your extra money in an offset account?
Mez shares an example of first home buyers who purchase a smaller property with the intention of upgrading later and potentially keeping their first home as an investment property.
That future plan can be important when deciding where to put extra money today.
We chat about the difference between paying additional money directly into a home loan and keeping cash available in an offset account, and why speaking with your accountant or other relevant professional about your future plans can be worthwhile.Should You Invest Your Extra Money?
Then we get into investing.Shares, investment properties, Bitcoin, superannuation, gold and even Pokémon cards make their way into the conversation. 😂
One of the biggest themes is understanding what you’re investing in.Something can feel incredibly risky when you don’t understand how it works. That doesn’t automatically make it a good or bad investment, but it does mean education and research are important before making a decision.
We also talk about being careful about who you take financial opinions from. Just because something worked for a friend, family member or someone at a barbecue doesn’t necessarily mean it is the right strategy for you.
What About Your Superannuation?
Super is another form of investing that many Australians don’t pay much attention to, particularly when retirement still feels a long way away.
Mez and Bec discuss their own experiences with superannuation, working part time, raising families, becoming self employed and eventually realising they needed to pay more attention to how their super was growing and how it was invested.
It’s a good reminder to understand what you have, how your super is invested and what insurance you may have within your super fund.
Financial Goals MatterThe biggest takeaway from this episode is simple:
Before deciding what to do with extra money, come back to your goals.Are you trying to:
- Pay off high interest debt?
- Save a house deposit?
- Increase your borrowing capacity?
- Pay down your mortgage?
- Upgrade your family home?
- Turn your current home into an investment property?
- Build wealth for the future?
- Prepare for retirement?
- Simply have more financial security and cash available?
Your answer can change what makes sense for your money.Sometimes there may be a financially stronger option, while another choice suits you better emotionally or personally.The important thing is understanding the facts and consequences of each option so you can make an informed decision based on your circumstances and your long term financial goals.And because this is Dollars & Distractions, we somehow also find time to discuss appreciating versus depreciating assets, expensive cars, windscreen washer fluid and why having a husband who fills your car with fuel might be the ultimate love language. 😂
In This EpisodeWe chat about:
- Should you pay off debt or save your money?
- Should you pay off your mortgage or invest?
- Offset accounts versus making extra home loan repayments
- Paying off credit cards and personal loans
- How debt can affect your home loan borrowing capacity
- Investing in shares, property and other assets
- Understanding your personal risk appetite
- Superannuation and thinking about retirement
- Appreciating versus depreciating assets
- Balancing financial decisions with emotional decisions
- Why your long term financial goals should guide your choices

19 AGO. 2026 · It's probably not something anyone wants to think about when they're happily married or in a relationship, but separation can have a massive impact on your financial position.
In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Marianne and Bec talk about relationships, separation, financial independence and why both people in a relationship should understand what's happening with their money.
We talk about how quickly a strong financial position can change after separation.
Once property, assets and debts are divided, someone who thought they were approaching the financially comfortable stage of life can suddenly find themselves taking on a new mortgage or effectively starting again.
We also explore why financial independence doesn't mean expecting your relationship to fail.It's about being involved.Know what you're signing. Understand your mortgage.
Know what accounts you have, where your money goes and what financial decisions you're making together.In this episode, we chat about:
- The financial impact of separation and divorce
- Starting again financially later in life
- Why both partners need to understand the household finances
- Financial independence within a relationship
- BFAs and conversations about protecting assets
- Why one person shouldn't automatically control all the finances
- How our childhood experiences influence our relationship with money
- Talking about mortgages and money with our kids
- Different spending and saving personalities within relationships
- Finding the balance between building wealth and enjoying your life
- Why there should be no embarrassment in asking for financial help during separation
Plus, in true Dollars & Distractions fashion, we somehow find time for chin hairs, KFC, settlement gifts, secret families, kids who desperately need to buy something at the shops, and Maryanne's first home that apparently looked a little bit like a caravan.
The big takeaway from this episode is simple:
Be financially educated. Be involved. Have a say in your financial decisions.You don't need to live expecting the worst to happen, but understanding your own financial position is an important part of financial independence.
And if life doesn't go according to plan, don't be afraid to start a conversation about what comes next.
🎙️ Dollars & DistractionsIdeas all the time. We might get distracted, but we're building wealth just fine.
12 AGO. 2026 · If you could sit down with your 25-year-old self and give them some financial advice, what would you say?
In this episode of Dollars and Distractions, Maryanne and Bec look back at their 20s and chat about the money lessons they wish they had learned earlier.
From buying property and trying to keep up with friends, to learning that appearances don't always reflect someone's true financial position, this episode is a reminder that everyone's financial journey looks different.
Maryanne and Bec chat about why even small amounts of savings can add up over time, why there's no single "right" way to build wealth, and how our upbringing and experiences can shape the way we think about money, investing and risk.
They also explore something that can have an even bigger impact than the numbers, money mindset.Sometimes the biggest financial shift comes from changing what you believe is possible for yourself, taking calculated risks and being open to opportunities that might initially feel outside your comfort zone.
In this episode:
• The financial advice we'd give our 25-year-old selves
• Why keeping up with the Joneses can hurt your finances
• Why looking wealthy and being wealthy aren't the same thing
• How small savings can make a big difference over time
• Property, shares, businesses and different ways to build wealth
• Why social media can sometimes make financial decisions more confusing
• The importance of choosing financial goals that suit your life
• How your upbringing can influence your relationship with money and risk
• Changing your money mindset and challenging your own financial ceiling
• Why taking the right opportunities can change your financial future
And because this is Dollars and Distractions, the conversation naturally gets a little distracted along the way, including ageing, grey eyebrows, chin hairs and the terrifying realisation that maybe we're not 25 anymore. 😂
The biggest takeaway?
You don't need to have everything figured out. Have a goal, stop comparing your journey to everyone else's and don't be afraid to take an opportunity when it comes your way.

Dollars and Distractions - More money, more mindset, no holding back.
6 AGO. 2026 · Buying a home is exciting, but what happens after the contract goes unconditional?
This week, Bec shares her real life experience of settling into her new home, and it's safe to say that even working in the finance industry didn't prepare her for some of the unexpected costs that popped up along the way.
From surprise cleaning invoices and rental exit fees to mortgage repayments, hidden settlement costs and why having a financial buffer matters more than ever, this episode is full of practical lessons for anyone planning to buy a home.
Of course, because it's Dollars & Distractions, we also wander into conversations about housing affordability, the cost of living, homelessness, and why saving money isn't just about buying a house, it's about creating security.In this episode we chat about:
- Bec's journey from renter to homeowner.
- The hidden costs that come with moving house.
- Why buying a property costs much more than just your deposit.
- Unexpected settlement expenses that can catch buyers off guard.
- The importance of keeping a cash buffer after settlement.
- Why your first mortgage repayment might not be when you think it is.
- Budgeting tips every first home buyer should know.
- A frustrating story about an unauthorised carpet cleaning invoice.
- The rising cost of living and how quickly financial circumstances can change.
- Why saving more than you think you'll need can make all the difference.
Key takeawayThe deposit is only the beginning.Whether you're buying your first home or your third, there will almost always be unexpected expenses. The more you can save before settlement, the less stressful those surprises become.
Having a financial buffer gives you options, peace of mind, and helps you enjoy your new home instead of worrying about every unexpected bill.Free ResourceNeed help getting your savings on track?

29 JUL. 2026 · Ever sat in front of a mortgage broker or bank and wondered what on earth they were talking about?
LVR... LMI... PAYG... DTI... P&I...
If you've ever nodded along pretending you understood, this episode is for you. In this episode of Dollars & Distractions, Maryanne and Bec break down some of the most common mortgage and banking terms into simple, everyday language without the finance jargon.
Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, investing or just trying to understand your mortgage a little better, this episode will help you feel far more confident when talking to lenders, brokers and banks. (You'll also hear why Maryanne nearly forgot to record... again.)
In this episode we cover:
- What Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI) actually is—and why it protects the bank, not you.
- How to calculate your Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) and why it affects your interest rate.
- Why reaching 60% LVR can unlock better pricing with many lenders.
- What PAYG really means and why brokers ask about it.
- Understanding Debt to Income Ratio (DTI) and why lenders care.
- What HEM (Household Expenditure Measure) is and how banks assess your living expenses.
- Why budgeting matters—even if the bank says you can borrow more.
- The difference between Principal & Interest (P&I) and Interest Only loans.
- Offset accounts vs redraw facilities—which one is right for you?
- Why multiple offset accounts can make managing your money much easier.
- What a Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) is and why they're becoming more common for blended families.
Why this matters
The mortgage process can feel overwhelming enough without trying to learn a completely new language. Our goal is to explain finance in plain English so you can make confident decisions about your money and your home loan without feeling intimidated by industry jargon.
The more you understand, the better decisions you'll make. Resources Mentioned
