Should I Pay Off My Mortgage or Start Investing? It All Comes Down to Your Why.

Money has a way of shining a light on the beliefs we don't even realise we're holding. This episode begins with a moment of real honesty as Darlene reflects on her son's recent engagement, the unexpected emotions it brought up, and the way it encouraged her to truly walk her walk. And Mel gets real about the challenge of running a business you're truly passionate about while also trying to show up for your family in the ways that matter most. From there, we tackle one of the biggest questions we hear from clients: should you pay off your mortgage, or start investing? While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, the best financial decisions start with understanding what's important to you. We chat about: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why personal growth often means learning to let go (even when it's hard) </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why having a clear purpose matters more than chasing an arbitrary financial goal </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How taking a long-term approach can help you build wealth with confidence </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Plus, in our educational segment, we explore the important topic of coercive control and financial independence </li> </ul> We're your big-sister hotline as we unpack what coercive control can look like when it comes to money, why everyone should be informed when it comes to family finances, and how maintaining visibility can provide confidence, security and choice. As always, we hope this conversation encourages you to reflect on your own money story and remember that the best financial decisions are the ones that align with your values and the life you want to build. ABOUT THE MONEY COLLECTIVE PODCAST Financial Wellbeing with The Money Collective brings together the stories and experiences of working with thousands of Australians when it comes to money. It's a no-holds-barred, honest podcast. Darlene Neu and Mel Pearce have been working in banking and finance for over 50 years and break down the barriers that we face every day when it comes to our relationships, families and finances.

Retirement, Relationships and Making Sure You're on the Right Track

This episode, we're tackling a topic that comes up in conversations with clients all the time: "I think I'm doing okay, but I just want to check." For many people, the question isn't really "How much money do I need?", but rather "Am I on the right track?" Darlene is honest about her aversion to retirement, sharing why the idea of stopping work has never appealed to her and how differently she and her husband view this stage of life. Meanwhile, for Mel, retirement isn't something she spends much time thinking about at all, preferring to focus on living a meaningful life today. In this episode, we chat about: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why retirement means different things to different people </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The importance of purpose, contribution and meaning </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The difference between retiring because you want to and retiring because you think you should </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why so many people wonder "Am I on the right track?" when it comes to money </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The value of asking "what if?" and preparing for life's unexpected twists and turns </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why it's important to enjoy life today while still planning for tomorrow </li> </ul> Plus, in our educational segment, we discuss why money can be one of the most challenging topics for couples to navigate, the importance of open and honest communication, and some of the green flags we look for when partners are financially aligned. As always, it all comes down to understanding our individual money stories – and being open to understanding others' stories too. We hope you enjoy the episode and it encourages you to think about yours more deeply.

Navigating Divorce and Separation (Plus Why Your Money Story Matters)

This week, we're exploring two topics that have a huge impact on our financial wellbeing – navigating separation and divorce, and understanding the money stories that shape our decisions (and our lives). Inspired by the conversations we have every day at The Money Collective, we discuss why it's never too early to understand your financial position, know your options, and start planning for the future if you're wondering what life might look like beyond your current relationship. In our Money Truths segment, Darlene shares a relatable story about her daughter Lily's first big spending decision, while Mel makes a passionate case for spending money on the things that bring you genuine joy – including Taylor Swift concerts. In this episode, we chat about: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How planning ahead can help reduce stress and uncertainty during separation and divorce </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The importance of communication, transparency and financial visibility within relationships </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> What to consider when making decisions about mortgages, debt and future financial security </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How understanding your values can help guide difficult financial decisions </li> </ul> Plus, in our educational segment, we explore one of our favourite topics: money stories. We unpack how the beliefs we've inherited about money can influence our behaviours, shape our sense of self-worth, and keep us stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. We also share practical ways to start identifying your own money story, understanding how it may be influencing your financial decisions, and beginning to create a healthier relationship with money.
