The podcast for people who want financial freedom, without giving up their coffee.
That means it's time to make the money world make cents. Join Frances Cook, best-selling author and award-winning journalist, to talk about the proven ways to invest your way to financial independence, buy your first home, or just get your spending under control.
Every Monday we have the week's feature interview, with someone who's done something interesting with their money. From paying off a mountain of debt, or investing for financial independence, or starting a new business, these are the ordinary people making the extraordinary possible.
On Thursday we have Ask the Experts, where industry insiders answer your questions on the money world. From earning more in your career, to investing, or sticking to a budget, they'll help make money simple.

This is going to sound wild... but it’s harder to build up that first $100,000, than it is to get from there, to a million.
Because that first $100k you’re doing everything by yourself, and really scrapping for it! After that, your investments start to actually help you, because they’re earning alongside you.
Jane Joo on how she built up that milestone number, on the latest Making Cents podcast.

Success leaves clues... and we can steal the tactics used by successful people, and apply them to all sorts of areas of our life. Including our money.
Dom Vettise has worked with the NZ Olympic Committee, the All Whites, and New Zealand Rugby, to help top athletes take their game to the next level.
So what can the rest of us learn from him? Well, heaps.
One of my favourite chats, out now on the Making Cents podcast.

How long does it take, to prepare to leave your job? For Jenny-May Clarkson, it was about two years.
We all know how fragile careers can be these days. And if you're in media... hoo boy, it's a good idea to be prepared.
So for the last two years she's been quietly making money changes, thinking about her career, her goals, and how she can stay in control of all of it, whatever might happen next.
The truth behind career changes, pivots, and the reinvention that all of us are likely to need, these days... It's on the Making Cents podcast with Jenny-May, and it's going to give you so much food for thought.

Family is the most important thing to many of us - but let's be real, life takes money, even for the people you see on your TV screen.
So when Jenny-May Clarkson knew she wanted to put her family first, what financial prep did she have to put in, to make that a reality?
Career changes and reinvention after TV, out now on Making Cents podcast.

Why do we chase financial freedom?
For me, it’s not about the fantasy of lying on the beach all day, or rocking about in a helicopter.
It’s that when life happens, as it always does, you have the ability to focus on putting your life back together. Without being derailed by the money parts.
Kasia Morrison has been living in a tiny home for nine years now.
It’s let her build financial independence on her own terms, and boy was that needed.
Because when her marriage unexpectedly split up, it wasn’t just her personal life that was tanked. They also shared a business. And that was suddenly gone, too.

You could end up overpaying your mortgage by thousands, even tens of thousands... just because you didn't know the small wins that get you free, earlier.
And trust me, I know. Because $20 got me mortgage freedom, eight years earlier.
Here's the thing with mortgages, a small win in the right place can be SO much more powerful than you think.
So, even though it makes me squeamish, I'm laying out my own finances for this one. Exactly how I got mortgage freedom years earlier, with one small change.
And then, even better, I'm laying out the top strategies that other people can try. So that whatever your financial situation is, you can find something that can be adapted to you.
It's all on the latest Making Cents podcast, see below.
