Don’t be fooled by seeing people with the big house, white picket fence and BMW parked in the driveway. It does not mean they own these things, it may very well be the bank. Credit can allow you to buy things you simply cannot afford. 😳💳💰🏠

Getting through my personal to do list, and just made 'that call' to my lender who knocked 20 basis points off my home loan interest rate down to 3.24%, no questions asked. The whole process took about 7 minutes. It's time to pick up the phone, people!

Just jumping on the cashback rewards train, and thinking how funny it is that seeing $2.29 in your ShopBack Australia account is somehow far more exciting than scoring a 'meh' $2 discount. Who's with me?

Had a good chat with Matthew Boyd of Vollie about how charitable giving has been turned on its head in 2020. Plus, tips & ideas for donating to a good cause, whether or not you have cash to spare this 'season of giving'. canstar.com.au/budgeting/dona…

This way of thinking can be such a trap at Christmas. I get distracted by thoughts like 'it's just my present to myself', 'the kids will love this, & this, and this', and think less about the plumpness of my offset account until I catch myself. Anyone else? Words from HuffPost Australia

Missing out on bonus interest if you withdraw money is a pain. The flexibility to dip into savings occasionally is important for some, and you don't want to cop a penalty for doing so. Yahoo Finance Australia's Lucy Dean hit me up for tips to maximise savings yhoo.it/3cJA6Oe

Working in finance inspires money saving hacks in my everyday life. This time it was cutting costs on moving house. A couch was on the list, but spending big wasn’t. That’s where the $46B second hand economy came in. Sustainable and thrifty wins in my book ✅ #savings
