What we’ve learned in 2025.

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟

It’s our annual “let’s unpack the year that’s been” episode, and yes, it’s equal parts finance recap, emotional support podcast, and why does London cost £30 to breathe? We reflect on the year’s biggest money moments (hello wild stock market returns, AI doing the absolute most, Bitcoin being Bitcoin, and gold randomly popping off), plus the behind-the-scenes reality of running The Curve without spontaneously combusting. Expect honest chat about budgeting properly (and what happens when you don’t), building an emergency fund, buying property, borrowing money from parents (humbling!), navigating relationship finances, and the ongoing quest for balance when your to-do list regenerates overnight like a cursed Tamagotchi. It’s a mix of lessons learned, goals for next year, and a gentle reminder that you can do everything… just not all at once.

Drop a comment with what you learned this year, what you’re ditching in 2025, and the goals you’re taking into next year we want to hear it all!

Thank you for a fantastic year everyone and see you in 2026. ❤️
