Episode 36 - The Real Cost Of Having Kids
What It Really Costs (And Who Actually Pays For It)
Nobody gives you a straight answer to this question. The baby books don't cover it. Your parents had different costs. And Google will give you a figure so large it either paralyses you or you dismiss it entirely.
In this episode, Hayson and Nikki break down what raising a child actually costs in Australia, including the numbers most people underestimate and have an honest conversation about the career impacts, the superannuation gap, and the financial decisions couples need to make together before the baby arrives.
This isn't about whether you should have children. It's about going in with your eyes open so you can make the transition with clarity, not shock.

Episode 35 - What 2 Years Of Podcasting Taught Us
What Talking About Money Did To Our Marriage
Two years ago we sat down with a microphone and a question: why aren't couples talking about money? Today, we're marking our second anniversary by turning the lens on ourselves.
In this episode, Nikki and Hayson get personal about why Money Matrimony started, what they've had to unlearn along the way, and the listener stories that have made this community something truly special. They also share what's coming in Year Three — including some episodes they've been too nervous to do until now.
If you've been part of this community from the beginning, this one is for you. And if you're new — welcome. You're in the right place.
Key Takeaway:
Why money conversations in relationships are still so rare — and what it costs couples when they stay silent
The misconceptions about money and relationships that Hayson and Nikki have had to revise through making this show

Episode 34 - What Do We Owe Our Children .. and Our Parents?
Episode 34 — What Do We Owe Our Children — and Our Parents?
Inheritance. Ageing parents. Entitlement. Responsibility.
Few family conversations carry more emotion — or more unspoken expectation — than money across generations.
Should parents leave an inheritance?
Should children expect one?
And what happens when ageing parents need financial support later in life?
Most families never clearly talk about these questions.
But silence doesn’t remove expectations.It just hides them.
And hidden expectations around money eventually become pressure, resentment and conflict.
In this episode, we unpack the tension between honour and obligation, provision and entitlement, wisdom and guilt — and what Scripture actually says about legacy, responsibility and family.
Because legacy isn’t just about what money you leave behind.
It’s about the maturity, values and clarity you pass on.
In This Episode
We discuss questions like:
Should parents leave inheritance to their children?
Why inheritance should never become an expectation?
The danger of entitlement across generations?
What the Bible says about honouring parents financially?
Supporting ageing parents without destroying your own family stability?
Why silent expectations fracture marriages and siblings?
How to have these conversations before crisis forces them
Key Takeaway
Don’t build your life assuming money is coming.
If inheritance comes, receive it with gratitude — not entitlement.
Raise children who are capable before they are comfortable.
And honour parents with wisdom, not guilt.
Because maybe legacy isn’t about how much money moves between generations…
But about the kind of people we become along the way.
