Does Your HECS debt Really Matter? How to Set Money Boundaries at Work

You know that moment where you see your HECS balance, and immediately reconsider every life choice you made at 18? This week we’re unpacking that HECS regret spiral. We chat through what banks actually care about (and what they don’t), whether HECS is really the villain in your home ownership story, and when paying extra off it is a smart move versus just an anxiety-driven one. Then we slide into a workplace dilemma that starts off generous and slowly gets… uncomfortable. It opens up a much bigger conversation about money boundaries, being the “nice” one, and how easily financial habits between people can get blurry if you don’t reset them early. Plus we've got all your money wins, your broke tips, and the usual Friday chaos.
