"I broke every rule in the book": How Glen James lives on his terms

“Hi, I’m Glen and I’m a recovering spender”, 


Glen James has built a career helping Aussies feel confident with money, but his own investing journey has been far from textbook. Intuitive, successful and at times unconventional. In this episode, we chat to Glen about how approach has evolved; from impulsive spender, to financial adviser, to now running one of Australia’s biggest money podcasts. (or money ‘show’, we should say 😉)


We cover:

  • Why Glen ditched setting investing goals (and what he does instead).
  • His “give some, save some, then spend some,” philosophy.
  • The guardrails he used to break out of bad money habits.
  • How he invests today (including a detailed breakdown of his flows from payday to portfolio).

Why saving alone won't make you rich

If you are only saving your money, you risk falling behind. You can’t argue the numbers- investing beats saving in the long term. They’re both essential in a healthy financial set up. But we believe that too often, savings play a larger role than they should.


In this episode we explain why and help you find a healthy balance between saving and investing. 


We cover: 

  • The difference between saving and investing.
  • The role they each can play in financial freedom and building wealth.
  • Why saving alone won’t make you rich (Meet the dreaded “I” word; Inflation)
  • How we each balance saving and investing in our own financial set up. 


If you're a serial saver, we're here to convince you that it's time to start investing.

Boost My Budget: Professional money coach shocks couple in live budget review

“We want to enjoy life, drink great wine, go on holidays whenever we want… but we also want to save”


Introducing our brand new series; Boost My Budget. We unpack our listener's real budgets live. And with expert help, we show them how to track better, save more, and stress less.


Our first listeners to get their budget boosted, are couple Emily T and Emily B, who want to save for their dream family home while still living in the moment. Is it an achievable goal, or delusional thinking? They're not sure.


They don't have a budget to get them there. In fact, Emily B and Emily T don’t have a budget at all. In their submission to the show, instead of sending us one- they attached a picture from a recent holiday in Bali. (Which told us all we needed to know.)


That's where we come in. With a live unveiling of their spending, cashflow expert and financial coach Lexi Smith from MoneyVine digs into the figures and helps Emily B and Emily T step closer to their goals.

Rebalancing your portfolio: what, why and how to nail it

Even the most hands-off investors need a plan for staying on track. That's where rebalancing comes in.


Markets are always moving and life is always changing- rebalancing is a simple way to keep your portfolio aligned with your goals so that you can reap the maximum benefit.


In this episode, we break down this fundamental (and underused) investing habit step by step, and share a mistake we see far too many people make. Are you one of them?


We cover:

  • What rebalancing is (and how we apply it to our portfolios)
  • Why it matters (shouldn’t you want your winning stocks to run?) 
  • How to actually rebalance (two simple methods, with pros & cons)
  • How often to rebalance (and how often we do it)
  • The most common mistake (and how to avoid it)
