  287. Emergency funds when you're close to FIRE (part 2) 22.07.2026 21min

  What happens to your emergency fund once you've actually built some wealth? Following straight on from their emergency funds 101 episode, Tash and Ana tackle the advanced version: offsets, debt recycling, business structures, and whether you even need a cash buffer once your portfolio could catch you. If part one was about building the safety net, this one is about rethinking it once the net is bigger than the fall. (New to emergency funds? Go listen to part one first.)In this episode we'll discuss:💸 Where your emergency fund lives when your whole home loan is debt recycled: Ana's spreadsheet session with her partner, and why the answer might be an offset that "kind of defeats the purpose"💸 Tash's confession: no personal emergency fund at all — how roughly $220,000 sitting in her businesses works as a backstop, and the tax trade-off of paying yourself out only when you need it💸 Fully offset mortgage? That IS your emergency fund — why neither host would keep a separate cash pile on top of a million dollars in the offset💸 The 55-day credit card strategy: bridging emergencies with interest-free periods and paying it off with dividends or rent (an advanced, "it hurts my soul to say this" play with plenty of disclaimers)💸 Renting while heavily invested: rent rises, the moving buffer you always need, and whether selling shares in a 20% downturn is really as bad as it feels💸 Finding your "sleep at night number" — why the right buffer at this stage is as much emotional as mathematicalThe further along you get, the less the three-to-six-months rule matters and the more your structures, cash flow and risk tolerance take over. Mistakes hurt less as things snowball — but leverage cuts both ways, so run your own numbers and know your worst case. Consider this episode your permission slip to think about it out loud.Happy EOFY from pearler!

  286. Emergency funds 101: how much you need and where to keep it (part 1) 20.07.2026 18min

  Emergency funds might not be the most thrilling topic in personal finance, but they're the foundation everything else sits on. In this first of two back-to-back episodes, Tash and Ana cover the 101: what actually counts as an emergency, how much you need, and where to keep it. Whether you're starting with your first $1,000 or wondering if your buffer is big enough, this is the place to start. (Already sorted? The part 2 drops on Thursday.)In this episode we'll discuss:💸 What counts as an emergency (job loss, car repairs, vet bills, last-minute flights home) and what definitely doesn't (Christmas comes every year — plan for it)💸 The maths of skipping the buffer: why a $3,000 car repair on a 20% credit card can undo an investment returning 7%, and how bad expenses love arriving all at once💸 How to calculate your number: add up essential monthly expenses and multiply by three to six — a worked example where $3,500 a month means a fund of $10,500 to $21,000💸 When to lean towards three months (stable job, no dependents, family to fall back on) versus six or more (sole income earner, self-employed with lumpy income, kids, or planned parental leave)💸 Where to keep it: high interest savings or your offset — not term deposits, not shares, and watch out for honeymoon rates and hoop-jumping bonus interest conditions💸 Tash's $20K "I just like the look of it" approach versus Ana's full year of expenses, and why the emotional side of the number matters as much as the mathsAn emergency fund isn't optional, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming either — start with $1,000 and build from there. And if you have to dip into it? That's literally what it's for. Use it, feel zero guilt, and top it back up.Happy EOFY from pearler!

  284. Is your 9-5 actually safe? 13.07.2026 15min

  FIRE (financial independence, retire early) made a lot more sense when houses were cheaper and the tax rules stayed put. So is it still a realistic goal for Australians in 2026? Tash and Ana take an honest look at the movement, from the maths behind it to the proposed budget changes that have the FIRE community redoing their spreadsheets.In this episode we'll discuss:💸 What FIRE actually is: the 25 times expenses rule, the 4% rule, and where those numbers come from💸 Ana's controversial take on who FIRE is (and isn't) realistic for💸 The bloke living at a skydiving drop zone saving 80% of his income, and what it says about the non-traditional path💸 The beginner steps: finding your FIRE number, tracking your spending, and the buffers most people forget💸 How Lisa, a 38 year old freelancer, swapped full FIRE for Coast FIRE and "work optional at 50"💸 Why the proposed 30% minimum tax on capital gains has households like Ana's rethinking high growth versus high dividendsNone of the budget changes are locked in yet, and nobody can promise what markets, housing or tax rules will do next.

  AI is being pushed into every workplace, layoffs are in the news weekly, and offshoring is easier than it's ever been. So is your 9-5 actually safe? Tash and Ana take an honest look at job security in 2026, and more importantly, how to set yourself up so a redundancy email is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.In this episode we'll discuss:💸 Why Ana's answer is a flat "no": engineers building the tech that could replace them, and the what-if conversations happening in her household💸 The risk that gets less airtime than AI: offshoring, and Tash's honest take after making her first offshore hire💸 Why neither host is panicking: healthcare fallbacks, trust in a personal brand, and income streams that don't share a single point of failure💸 The dystopian investor moment: when layoffs at the companies you own push your portfolio up💸 Practical safeguards: building side income before you need it, staying on a casual employer's books, and the case for two part-time jobs💸 The graph showing which occupations AI is hitting hardest, which ones are barely touched, and why arts and media hurts to look atNo job has ever been completely safe, and nobody can promise what AI, the economy or the job market will do next.

  282. How this 33 year old is investing $5k a fortnight 06.07.2026 16min

  A 33 year old defence worker with a $1.1 million net worth, $365k in super, and $5,000 a fortnight going into investments. All on a $125k salary. The comment section had one big question: how? Tash and Ana crack open this Finance File, walk through the numbers line by line, and take on the debates it sparked. In this episode we'll discuss:💸 Where the $5k a fortnight actually goes, from S&P 500 ETFs to salary sacrificing hard into super 💸 What catch-up concessional contributions are, and why this person is using five years' worth before starting a family 💸 How a 33 year old ends up with $365k in super (spoiler: defence super plays by different rules) 💸 The $175,000 townhouse that turned into a total money pit, and the lesson it left behind 💸 The great net worth debate: what counts, what doesn't, and whether your car belongs in there 💸 Whether $100 a month of fun money is rough, or proof you don't need cash to have a good timeFinance Files are a window into how other people actually do money, not a scoreboard. This one's a good reminder that the right industry can quietly supercharge your super, a windfall goes further with a plan, and someone else's numbers never tell the whole story.
