  5 Things We Won’t Be Doing With Our Money After the Federal Budget 13.09.2026 19мин

  5 Things We Won’t Be Doing After the Federal Budget Whenever a Federal Budget is handed down, the headlines start flying. New taxes. Superannuation changes. Property rules. Cost-of-living measures. Winners. Losers. And while it is important to understand changes that may affect your finances, I don't believe we should allow every new announcement to completely derail a well-thought-out financial plan. In this episode of SugarMamma's Fireplay, I'm flipping the conversation around and sharing five things Tom and I will NOT be doing in response to the Federal Budget — and why. In this episode, I share: 1. We won't stop working towards our goals We're not throwing our hands in the air and saying, "What's the point?" We'll continue working, growing our businesses, investing in our financial wellbeing and building towards the life we want. Governments and policies will change throughout our lifetime. Our responsibility for our own financial future remains. 2. We won't sit on excessive amounts of cash Having an emergency fund and accessible cash reserves is incredibly important. But beyond the cash we genuinely need, we don't plan on allowing fear to push us into unnecessarily sitting on the sidelines. We'll continue putting our money to work thoughtfully and in line with our long-term goals. 3. We won't overcapitalise on our home Your home can be an incredible asset — financially and emotionally. But that doesn't mean every spare dollar needs to disappear into renovations, upgrades and improvements. We still want to be disciplined about how much money we put into our home and make sure we're not sacrificing other important financial goals in the process. 4. We won't take on more debt than we can comfortably afford Debt can be useful when it is carefully considered and strategically managed. But taking on excessive debt — particularly expensive or non-deductible debt — can dramatically reduce your financial flexibility. We want our financial position to give us choices, not leave us trapped by repayments. 5. We won't panic about superannuation Superannuation rules will continue to evolve over the decades. That doesn't mean we're abandoning super or making dramatic decisions based on fear about what a future government may or may not do. Super remains an important part of our long-term retirement strategy, and we'll continue making decisions based on our own circumstances, professional advice and the rules that apply at the time. The bigger message This episode isn't about ignoring the Federal Budget. It's about responding rather than reacting. Understand the changes. Work out which ones genuinely affect you. Get professional advice where you need it. Adjust your strategy if necessary. But don't allow frightening headlines, political noise or speculation about what might happen next to push you into making financial decisions that don't serve your long-term goals. Because ultimately, governments will change. Rules will change. Markets will change. But the fundamentals of building financial wellbeing remain remarkably consistent: Spend thoughtfully.Protect your cash flow.Be careful with debt.Invest for the long term.Diversify.And keep working towards the financial life that matters to you. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of SugarMamma's Fireplay wherever you get your podcasts. 💡 If you want my help with your Budget or Money Mindset Want more support on your financial journey?

  START HERE: Negative Equity Explained: 8 Smart Ways to Protect Your Home and Your Finances 10.09.2026 21мин

  My House Is Worth Less Than I Paid. What Should I Do? Buying your first home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. So, when headlines start warning about falling house prices, negative equity, and first-home buyers being "trapped", it's completely understandable to feel anxious. But does negative equity automatically mean financial disaster? In this episode of Start Here, Canna explains exactly what negative equity is, why it's suddenly making headlines, who is most at risk, and—most importantly—the practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your financial future. Whether you've recently purchased your first home, bought with a 5% deposit, or you're a parent worried about your adult child, this episode will help you separate fear from fact and focus on what you can actually control. In this episode we cover: What negative equity actually means (and why it isn't always a financial emergency) Why first-home buyers with small deposits are more exposed to falling property prices Why property markets naturally move in cycles When negative equity becomes a genuine problem—and when it doesn't Why selling too early can lock in financial losses How making extra mortgage repayments can rebuild equity faster Practical ways to improve your cash flow and pay down your home loan sooner When renovating can help increase your property's value—and how to avoid overcapitalising Why obtaining an independent property valuation may surprise you When to speak with your lender or mortgage broker if you're feeling financial pressure Could renting out your home instead of selling be a smarter long-term strategy? The biggest mistakes homeowners make when property prices fall Why staying calm during market downturns is often one of the best financial decisions you can make Key Takeaway Negative equity doesn't automatically mean you've made a bad financial decision. If you can comfortably afford your mortgage repayments and aren't forced to sell, time, consistent mortgage repayments and sensible financial decisions can help rebuild your equity. While you can't control the property market, you can absolutely control your cash flow, your mortgage strategy and the financial habits that strengthen your long-term wealth.

  The Property Tax Trap That Could Cost Investors $70,000? 06.09.2026 23мин

  Could Missing This Property Valuation Cost You Thousands in Tax? There’s a major capital gains tax (CGT) change coming for Australian property investors—and surprisingly, very few people are talking about it. If you own an investment property, 30 June 2027 could become one of the most important dates in your financial calendar. In this episode, I explain why obtaining a professional property valuation before the new CGT rules begin could potentially save some investors tens of thousands of dollars when they eventually sell. You'll learn: Why Australia's capital gains tax rules are changing from 1 July 2027 Why 30 June 2027 could be a critical date for investment property owners The difference between relying on a professional valuation versus the government's default CGT calculation Why some investors could pay significantly more tax without a valuation A simple example showing how the two approaches may produce very different outcomes Why waiting until the last minute could create a rush for qualified valuers Practical steps to take now to help protect your wealth Remember, this episode is general information only and is designed to help you understand an important upcoming change. Whether obtaining a professional valuation is appropriate for your circumstances is something you should discuss with your accountant or registered tax adviser. If you know someone who owns an investment property, please share this episode with them. It could save them from an expensive mistake years down the track. 💡 If you want my help with your Budget or Money Mindset Want more support on your financial journey?

  START HERE: The Bank of Mum and Dad: How to Help Without Going Broke 03.09.2026 11мин

  Has the Bank of Mum and Dad closed its doors? After appearing on the Today Show to discuss a new report showing fewer parents are helping their children into the property market, I knew this was a conversation we needed to have. This isn’t based on a listener question. Instead, it’s inspired by the growing uncertainty many Australian families are feeling right now. If you’ve ever wondered: Should I help my children buy a home? Am I selfish if I can’t afford to help? How do I protect my retirement while still supporting my family? What are the alternatives to gifting a six-figure deposit? …then this episode is for you. In this episode, I explain: Why many parents are pressing pause on helping adult children buy property. How the changing investment landscape is affecting family financial decisions. The growing wealth gap—and why compassion matters on both sides. Practical ways to support your children without risking your own financial future. Creative alternatives to gifting cash, including matching savings, helping reduce living costs and supporting smarter financial habits. What to consider before acting as a guarantor, lending money or gifting a deposit. Why protecting your own financial independence is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. Whether you’re a parent trying to make the right decision or an adult child wanting to better understand your parents’ perspective, this episode will help you navigate one of the most emotional financial conversations many Australian families are facing today. Remember: Supporting your children isn’t always about giving them money. Sometimes it’s about giving them the confidence, skills and financial habits to build lasting wealth for themselves.   💛 If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a parent, grandparent or someone dreaming of buying their first home. 🎧 Subscribe to Start Here so you never miss an episode, and if you’re enjoying the podcast, I’d be so grateful if you left a review—it helps more Australians discover practical, trusted financial guidance. 💡 If you want my help with your Budget or Money Mindset Want more support on your financial journey?

As our skin changes through our 40s, perimenopause and beyond, the products and techniques that once worked for us may not work in quite the same way anymore.

In this episode, we cover: Why makeup can start behaving differently on skin after 40 How to use more of the makeup you already own The biggest makeup mistakes women over 40 make Budget beauty vs luxury makeup — where to save and where it may be worth spending How Mia would build a simple makeup kit on a $100–$150 budget The skincare basics that can help makeup look better on mature skin A quick five-minute makeup routine for busy women Multitasking products that can save money, time and bathroom space How to avoid wasting money on products you never use Why self-care and financial wellbeing don't have to compete with each other Because being good with money isn't about never spending on yourself.

  Reverse Mortgages Explained: The Pros, The Risks & Who They’re Really For 27.08.2026 37мин

  What happens when you’ve worked your whole life to pay off your home… but you’re struggling to afford retirement? More Australians are finding themselves asset rich but cash poor. Their home may be worth over $1 million, but rising living costs, healthcare expenses and longer life expectancies are putting pressure on retirement savings. One option that is becoming increasingly popular is a reverse mortgage. But is it a smart way to unlock the equity in your home, or could it quietly erode your wealth over time? In this episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I explain exactly how reverse mortgages work, who they may suit, the benefits, the risks and the important questions I believe every Australian should ask before signing a reverse mortgage contract. This isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about helping you make an informed decision. In this episode, we cover: • What a reverse mortgage actually is and how it works.• Why more Australians are considering reverse mortgages in retirement.• The difference between a traditional mortgage and a reverse mortgage.• How much you may be able to borrow and the different ways funds can be accessed.• The power of compound interest and why borrowing more than you need can dramatically reduce your home equity over time.• Real-life examples of how retirees use reverse mortgages to stay living in their homes.• The benefits, including improving cash flow, funding home modifications and supporting independence.• The risks, including compounding interest, living longer than expected, future healthcare costs and reducing the value of your estate.• The No Negative Equity Guarantee and what it means.• Alternative strategies, including downsizing, the Government Home Equity Access Scheme and other ways to access home equity.• The nine questions I believe every Australian should ask before taking out a reverse mortgage. Whether you’re approaching retirement, helping your parents understand their options or simply planning ahead, this episode will help you better understand one of Australia’s most misunderstood financial products. Remember, a reverse mortgage isn’t inherently good or bad. Like any financial strategy, it can be incredibly valuable when used thoughtfully—but it can also become very expensive if you borrow more than you truly need. As always, this podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute personal financial advice. Before making any financial decisions, consider seeking independent financial and legal advice that is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

  START HERE: SHOULD I SELL MY CAR TO GET AHEAD FINANCIALLY? 20.08.2026 14мин

  Should You Sell Your Car to Pay Off Your Mortgage?Episode Description Would selling your car save you thousands of dollars... or could it actually be the wrong financial move? In this episode of Start Here, Canna answers a listener's question about whether selling a $50,000 Toyota Hilux to put an extra $25,000 onto their mortgage is the smartest way to get ahead financially. The numbers are surprising. Yes, a lump sum repayment could save around $76,000 in interest over the life of the loan. But when you're already making significant extra mortgage repayments every month, that lump sum may not have the impact you expect. More importantly, this conversation isn't really about a car. It's about knowing when to optimise your finances... and when it's okay to enjoy something you've worked hard for without guilt. In this episode you'll learn: Whether selling your car will genuinely accelerate your mortgage repayments. Why context matters more than calculators. The hidden costs of replacing an expensive vehicle. How to work out whether you actually need the car you own. Why extra mortgage repayments often do far more heavy lifting than one-off lump sums. The emotional reasons we sometimes question purchases we've already made. How to find the balance between building wealth and enjoying your life. A simple framework for making future big-ticket spending decisions with confidence. If you've ever wondered whether you should sell your car, downgrade your lifestyle or sacrifice more to reach your financial goals faster, this episode will help you make that decision with greater clarity and confidence. In this episode: ✔ How much a $25,000 lump sum could save on your mortgage✔ Why replacing a car isn't always as cheap as it seems✔ The true cost of running an older vehicle✔ The importance of understanding what your car actually needs to do✔ Why your monthly habits matter more than one-off decisions✔ The psychology behind financial guilt✔ How to enjoy your money without compromising your long-term goals Remember, wealth isn't built by making one perfect financial decision. It's built through consistently making good decisions over time. Have a question for Start Here? If there's a money question you've been quietly wrestling with, send it in. Chances are, thousands of other Australians are wondering exactly the same thing.

  7 Sneaky Tricks Real Estate Agents Use On Buyers - Home Buyer Beware! 16.08.2026 18мин

  Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions most Australians will ever make. But many buyers don’t realise: property sales are highly emotional negotiations are psychological pressure tactics are common buyers can unintentionally reveal too much information This episode is NOT about attacking real estate agents. Important framing: many agents are professional and ethical selling property is their job BUT buyers need to understand how the process works so they can protect themselves financially and emotionally Key message: “The calmer and more informed you are as a buyer, the better financial decisions you’re likely to make.” Adam McCabe can be contacted [email protected] or 0423 685 133 IMPORTANT POINTS Buying property can feel exciting but also emotionally overwhelming Many buyers feel pressured, rushed or manipulated during negotiations Emotional decisions can cost people tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars Today’s episode is about awareness and strategy Adam will walk through common tactics buyers should understand before entering the property market Transition: “Adam, let’s walk through some of the sneaky tricks buyers should be aware of when purchasing property.” 1. ASKING TO SEE YOUR PRE-APPROVAL LETTERDiscussion Points Agents may ask to see borrowing capacity Gives insight into buyer’s spending ceiling Your maximum approval ≠ your comfortable budget Key Message “Just because the bank says you can borrow that much doesn’t mean you should spend that much.” Important Notes Buyers are not obligated to disclose full borrowing limits Keep negotiations focused on property value, not your borrowing power 2. ONLY SHOWING HIGH RECENT SALES COMPARISONSDiscussion Points Agents may selectively present premium comparable sales Creates price anchoring psychology Can distort buyer perception of value Important Advice Buyers should research independently Look at: days on market passed-in auctions lower comparable sales suburb trends Key Message “Data can tell very different stories depending on what gets left out.” 3. CREATING ARTIFICIAL URGENCYCommon Phrases “There’s another strong offer.” “The vendor wants this wrapped up tonight.” “You’ll need to move quickly.” “There’s huge interest.” Discussion Points Sometimes true, sometimes strategic pressure Urgency increases emotional decision-making Buyers may skip due diligence Important Advice Slow down Don’t waive important checks under pressure Avoid emotionally chasing the property 4. UNDERQUOTING THE PROPERTYDiscussion Points Low advertised pricing attracts emotional attachment Buyers spend time emotionally investing in properties outside realistic budget Creates bidding competition Emotional Impact Buyer exhaustion FOMO Overstretching financially Important Advice Research comparable sales Understand realistic suburb pricing Maintain borrowing buffers 5. ASKING FOR YOUR MAXIMUM BUDGETCommon Questions “What’s your ceiling?” “What are you comfortable spending?” “How high can you go?” Discussion Points Valuable negotiation information Buyers often reveal too much unintentionally Key Message “Your budget is your business.” Important Advice Set your own ceiling privately beforehand Avoid negotiating against yourself emotionally 6. USING EMOTIONAL LANGUAGE & FOMOExamples “Dream family home.” “Rare opportunity.” “You don’t want to miss this.” “Properties like this never come up.” Discussion Points Emotional attachment clouds financial judgment Buyers start imagining future lifestyle before evaluating affordability Important Advice Separate emotion from numbers Another property will always come along Protect long-term financial stability 7. CONDITIONING BUYERS TO INCREMENTALLY INCREASE OFFERSExamples “If you could just increase another $5K…” “You’re very close.” “The vendor might accept a little more.” Discussion Points Small increases feel psychologically manageable But small increments compound quickly Important Advice Decide maximum limit BEFORE negotiating Understand repayment impact of every increase Key Message “The purchase price is only the beginning — you have to live with the repayments afterwards.” IMPORTANT THEMES TO REPEAT THROUGHOUT EPISODE Stay calm and strategic Don’t let emotion override affordability Buying property should not feel like panic Long-term financial stability matters more than “winning” There will always be another property Protect your borrowing capacity and mental health GOOD QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO ASK ADAM “What’s the biggest mistake emotional buyers make?” “At what point do buyers start overpaying emotionally?” “What should buyers never reveal?” “How can buyers stay calm during negotiations?” “What are signs someone is financially overstretching themselves?” “How important is having a broker involved before making offers?” CONCLUSIONFinal Talking Points Buying property is emotional and competitive Understanding negotiation psychology is empowering Buyers don’t need to feel pressured or rushed Good decisions usually come from calmness, preparation and clarity Final message: “Sometimes the property you don’t buy ends up being the best financial decision you ever make.” Reach out to Adam and the team at Blue Lantern Home Loans if you would like help understanding your borrowing capacity, structuring your loan properly or navigating the property buying process strategically. 💡 Work With Me Want more support on your financial journey?

  START HERE: SLOWING DOWN TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE WEALTH WITHOUT BURNOUT 13.08.2026 32мин

  Is It Okay to Slow Down? Building Wealth Without Burning Out Have you ever wondered whether taking your foot off the accelerator could actually be one of the smartest financial decisions you make? We're constantly told to earn more, save more, invest more and keep pushing for the next financial milestone. But what happens when life, your health or your family needs something different from you? In this episode of Start Here, we explore a question that so many working parents quietly ask themselves: Can you slow down without sacrificing your financial future? Inspired by a heartfelt listener question, we discuss why building wealth isn't just about increasing your income. It's about creating enough financial resilience to have choices when life changes. In this episode, you'll learn: Why paying off your mortgage creates more than financial security—it creates options. How to recognise the different seasons of life and adjust your financial strategy accordingly. Why your health, energy and mental wellbeing are some of your most valuable financial assets. How to redesign your life before making the decision to leave your job or reduce your income. Practical ways to buy back your time and protect your energy without necessarily earning less. Why financial planning should be a shared responsibility within a relationship. The systems, routines and support that help me balance work, motherhood and building long-term wealth. How to calculate the real financial impact of reducing your income so you can make confident decisions based on facts, not fear. Why slowing down doesn't have to mean falling behind. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting a slower pace of life, struggled to balance work and family, or wondered whether it's possible to build wealth without burning yourself out, this episode is for you. Because sometimes the smartest financial decision isn't earning more. Sometimes it's creating a life that's financially, emotionally and physically sustainable. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave a review, share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation, or send me your own question for a future episode of Start Here.

  START HERE: Will My Super Last? How to Avoid Running Out of Money in Retirement 06.08.2026 31мин

  Will Your Super Last? How to Avoid Running Out of Money in Retirement One of the biggest fears Australians have about retirement isn't building enough super. It's running out of it. In this episode of Start Here, I answer a thoughtful question from a listener who is about to retire with almost $800,000 in superannuation but is worried it may not last. If you've ever wondered: Will my super be enough? How much money do I actually need in retirement? Should I move everything into cash? How do I protect myself from market downturns? What happens if I live longer than expected? ...then this episode is for you. Together we'll explore practical ways to create more confidence around your retirement, including: ✔️ Why knowing your annual living expenses is more important than focusing on your super balance. ✔️ Why your money may still need exposure to growth assets throughout retirement. ✔️ My "Sleep Well Strategy" and why holding around two years of living expenses in cash may help you navigate market volatility. ✔️ Retirement strategies worth exploring, including the downsizer contribution, reviewing assets held outside super and understanding potential Centrelink entitlements. ✔️ Why retirement doesn't have to be all or nothing, and how even a small amount of income can reduce pressure on your retirement savings. ✔️ The importance of seeking personalised financial advice before making significant retirement decisions. Retirement isn't about having certainty. It's about building a flexible plan that gives you confidence, peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy the next chapter of your life. Whether retirement is just around the corner or still years away, this episode will help you start preparing today. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you left a review or shared it with someone who may also be thinking about retirement.

  Why Money Is The #1 Cause Of Relationship Stress (And How To Fix It) 02.08.2026 25мин

  Why Money Is The #1 Cause Of Relationship Stress (And How To Fix It) Money touches almost every area of our lives. It affects where we live, how we raise our children, our lifestyle choices, retirement plans, career decisions and even our sense of security. It's therefore no surprise that financial stress is one of the leading causes of relationship conflict, with recent research showing that 71% of relationship breakdowns involve financial stress. In this episode, I unpack why money creates so much tension in relationships, the warning signs to watch for, and the practical strategies couples can use to build greater financial harmony. In This Episode We Discuss: ✅ Why money arguments are rarely just about money ✅ How different money personalities can create conflict ✅ Common financial red flags in relationships ✅ The dangers of hidden debt and secret spending ✅ Financial abuse and coercive control: what it looks like ✅ Why transparency builds trust ✅ How to create shared financial goals without losing independence ✅ The importance of "sanity money" and personal spending freedom ✅ How regular money conversations can strengthen a relationship ✅ Practical ways to reduce financial stress as a couple Financial Red Flags To Watch For Hiding purchases or debts Refusing to discuss money One partner controlling all financial decisions Restricting access to bank accounts or financial information Excessive gambling or spending habits Constant financial secrecy Using money to manipulate, punish or control a partner Simple Ways To Improve Financial Harmony Schedule regular money check-ins Create shared financial goals Build an emergency fund together Be transparent about debt, spending and financial commitments Maintain some personal financial independence Ensure both partners understand the household finances Seek professional support early if money becomes a major source of conflict Key Takeaway A strong relationship isn't built by having perfect finances. It's built through trust, communication, transparency and working together towards a shared vision for your future. Money should be a tool that supports your relationship, not something that quietly undermines it. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend or loved one who might benefit from it.

  START HERE: Debt Free - Here is what to do next for long term financial success 30.07.2026 14мин

  Debt free. Savings in the bank. No financial stress. It sounds like the finish line. But for many people, it’s actually the beginning of a completely new financial chapter. In this episode of Start Here, I answer a listener’s question about what happened after she worked incredibly hard to pay off a significant amount of debt. Instead of feeling excited, she found herself feeling a little lost—without a clear financial direction and slowly dipping into her savings. If you’ve ever reached a major money milestone and wondered, “What now?”, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore: Why paying off debt is a huge achievement—but not the end of your financial journey. The mindset shift from debt elimination to wealth creation. Why money without a purpose has a habit of disappearing. How to create meaningful financial goals for your next chapter. Building systems that make saving and investing automatic. Finding the balance between enjoying your money today and planning for tomorrow. Why your financial strategy should evolve as your life changes. How to avoid drifting financially after reaching a major milestone. Remember, becoming debt free isn’t the destination. It’s the foundation that gives you the freedom to intentionally build wealth, create opportunities and design a life that truly reflects what matters most to you. 💡 If you want my help with your Budget or Money Mindset Want more support on your financial journey?

  5 Changes We're Making To Our Financial Game Plan - Because of The Federal Budget 26.07.2026 29мин

  5 Changes We're Making After The Federal Budget The recent Federal Budget didn't change our financial goals... but it did change how we're thinking about achieving them. Over the past few months, Tom and I have been reviewing every part of our financial strategy. Not because we're panicking or abandoning our long-term investing philosophy, but because when tax laws and legislation change, it's worth asking one simple question: Does our financial plan still support the future we're trying to build? In this personal episode of SugarMamma's Fireplay, I'm taking you behind the scenes and sharing the five biggest changes we're making to our family's financial strategy, including how we're thinking about: ✔️ The proposed Capital Gains Tax changes and whether to sell investments earlier than planned✔️ Why superannuation has become an even bigger priority in our long-term wealth plan✔️ Why I'm focusing on growing passive income rather than simply chasing higher investment returns✔️ Why we've brought forward some major home projects, despite delaying our mortgage-free goal✔️ How we're thinking differently about debt recycling, negative gearing and using debt to build wealth I'll also share what hasn't changed, because despite the headlines, our long-term philosophy remains exactly the same: building sustainable passive income, paying off non-deductible debt and creating financial independence. Whether you're an investor, homeowner or simply trying to make smarter financial decisions in an ever-changing world, this episode will help you think more strategically about your own financial future. In this episode: Why we're reviewing when to sell investments The impact of the proposed Capital Gains Tax changes Why superannuation has become even more valuable Investing for growing passive income Dividend investing and long-term wealth creation Why our family home has become a bigger priority Debt recycling and negative gearing after the Federal Budget What hasn't changed in our financial philosophy How to review your own financial strategy with confidence Remember, this episode is general in nature and doesn't take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. If you're considering making changes to your own financial strategy, seek professional advice from a licensed financial planner, accountant and mortgage broker. 💡 If you want my help with your Budget or Money Mindset Want more support on your financial journey?

  START HERE: Build Wealth & Financial Freedom Without Debt Recycling 23.07.2026 33мин

  Some people describe it as one of the most powerful wealth-building strategies available. Others say if you're investing in ETFs while still paying off your home loan without debt recycling, you're "leaving money on the table." But is that really true? In this Start Here episode, I answer a listener's excellent question about whether debt recycling is essential for building long-term wealth, or whether you can still create financial freedom without it. We'll unpack what debt recycling actually is, how it works, why so many investors use it, and just as importantly, the risks that are often overlooked. I'll also explain another way people borrow to invest through margin loans, including what a margin call is, how regular gearing plans work, and the pros and cons of each strategy. Most importantly, we'll talk about why you should never feel pressured into using a financial strategy that doesn't suit your personality, goals or risk tolerance. Because building wealth isn't about copying someone else's strategy. It's about finding the strategy you can confidently stick with for decades. In this episode you'll learn: • What debt recycling actually is (in plain English) • How debt recycling can improve tax efficiency • The benefits and risks of borrowing to invest • Why leverage isn't suitable for everyone • What a margin loan is and how it compares to debt recycling • What a margin call is and why it matters • How to reduce the risks when borrowing to invest • What to look for when comparing margin loans • Why superannuation remains one of Australia's most powerful wealth-building tools • Why consistency often beats chasing the "perfect" strategy Whether you're just starting to invest in ETFs, paying off your mortgage, or wondering if you're missing out by not debt recycling, this episode will help you better understand your options so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

  Why Financial Confidence Matters More Than Your Net Worth 19.07.2026 18мин

  We often assume that financial confidence comes from having more money. A bigger salary.A bigger investment portfolio.A bigger net worth. But what if financial confidence has very little to do with how much money you have and far more to do with how much control you feel you have over your finances? Inspired by the latest ING Sense of Us Report, this episode explores how Australians are adapting to economic uncertainty, rising living costs and financial pressure by focusing on what they can control. Rather than waiting for interest rates to fall or the economy to improve, many Australians are taking action today through budgeting, investing, building better money habits and creating small financial wins that build momentum over time. We also explore: • Why financial confidence matters more than your net worth• The surprising optimism Australians are feeling despite cost-of-living pressures• How small financial wins create momentum and confidence• The meaning behind the saying "small hinges swing big doors"• Why Australians are becoming more resourceful with their money• How loyalty programs, strategic shopping and budgeting are helping households fight back against rising costs• Why Australians are redefining what wealth means to them• The rise of intentional spending and the importance of experiences, wellbeing and connection• How to stop procrastinating and start taking action with your money• The simple mindset shift that can help build lasting financial confidence One of the most powerful findings from the report was that Australians aren't standing still. They're adapting. They're rewriting the financial playbook and proving that confidence isn't built through one big breakthrough, but through lots of small actions repeated consistently over time. Because whilst one habit may not change your life, enough of them absolutely can. The question is: Are you waiting for things to get easier, or are you getting started? Key Takeaway: Financial confidence isn't something you wait for. It's something you build. Consistently, steadily, over time. Education is key, backed with action.  By focusing on what you can control, creating small financial wins and taking consistent action, you can create momentum that transforms not only your finances, but your relationship with money as well. 💡 If you want my help with your budget or money mindset: Want more support on your financial journey?

  START HERE: Super vs Shares: Where Should Your Next Investment Dollar Go? 16.07.2026 21мин

  Many Australians eventually reach the same crossroads in their wealth-building journey: Should I invest more money into superannuation? Or should I build wealth outside of super? In this week's Start Here episode, inspired by a listener question, we're unpacking one of the most important investing decisions you'll ever make. Using a real-life example of a 38-year-old investor with $372,000 in superannuation and a growing share portfolio, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of investing inside and outside super, including: ✔️ The tax benefits of superannuation ✔️ The power of flexibility and accessibility ✔️ Why inflation can dramatically impact your retirement goals ✔️ How to know if you're already on track for retirement ✔️ The difference between maximising wealth and maximising freedom ✔️ Why investing isn't always an either-or decision ✔️ The pros and cons of building wealth inside and outside super We also walk through retirement projections, discuss the risks of relying on a single wealth structure, and explore why many Australians deliberately build wealth both inside and outside superannuation. Most importantly, you'll learn how to think about your next investment decision through the lens of your goals, lifestyle and future financial freedom. Because sometimes the best financial decision isn't simply about maximising returns. Sometimes it's about creating more options for your future self. In This Episode Why there is no universal answer to the super vs shares debate Understanding retirement income in today's dollars versus future dollars How inflation quietly changes retirement planning Example projections for a 38-year-old investor The advantages of investing more into superannuation The disadvantages of locking away wealth until retirement The benefits of building passive income outside super How flexibility can become more important than tax efficiency Why many investors choose to do both Remember Financial freedom isn't about having the biggest portfolio. It's about having choices. 🎧 Have a money question you'd like answered on Start Here? Email your question and it may feature in a future episode of SugarMamma's Fireplay.

  Negative Gearing Shares: Margin Loans, Debt Recycling & The Risks You Need To Know 12.07.2026 29мин

  With recent changes to negative gearing for investment properties, many Australians are starting to ask an important question: Can you negatively gear shares instead? The answer is yes — but borrowing to invest in the share market comes with its own risks, responsibilities and opportunities. In this episode of SugarMamma's Fireplay, financial planner Canna Campbell explains how negative gearing shares works, the two most common ways Australians borrow to invest, and the practical steps you can take to reduce your risk and build wealth more safely. Whether you're curious about debt recycling, considering a margin loan, or simply want to understand how tax deductions work when investing in shares, this episode will help you make more informed decisions. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ What negative gearing actually means ✔ Why negative gearing is a tax outcome, not an investment strategy ✔ The difference between margin loans and debt recycling ✔ How investors use borrowed money to invest in shares ✔ The potential tax benefits and wealth-building opportunities ✔ The risks of borrowing to invest ✔ What a margin call is and how it works ✔ How rising interest rates can affect your strategy ✔ The importance of cash flow and emergency savings ✔ 7 practical ways to reduce risk when negatively gearing shares My 7 risk-management rules for borrowing to invest: Diversify your investments Focus on liquid investments Have a clear investment goal Maintain a strong emergency fund Consider reinvesting dividends or using the dividends to service & reduce the investment debt Gradually reduce investment debt - consider a P&I loan over a IO loan - with advice Review your strategy regularly - e.g. every 6 months Key takeaway: Borrowing to invest can accelerate wealth creation, but it can also amplify losses. Before considering a negatively geared share strategy, make sure you understand the risks, have a long-term investment plan and never invest purely for a tax deduction. The goal isn't to create a tax loss. The goal is to build long-term wealth.
