Show Notes

This season we’re diving into the hot topics and issues that we think you need to know about when it comes to your money. 

This episode is the third in our miniseries where we’re talking about the big impact a decade can really have on your finances. 

We started off by looking at financially where you’re at now and then dove deeper into what that looks like, as well as where you’d like to go. In this episode, we continue with this, and Mel talks about challenging what you’re working with.  

Lifestyle creep is something that all of us can fall victim to, as our expenses rise with our income. And as small an impact as you might think it’s making, the reality is over time it’s adding up.  

In this episode, Mel offers strategies to manage that lifestyle creep, exploring ways you could potentially increase your income to help you maximise your financial potential over the next decade.  

If you’re stuck wishing you had just a little bit more in your account each pay but have no clue how to make that happen, this is the episode to tune into to make things finally change.
