If I Was in My 30s Again, Here’s What I’d Do (Money Edition)

Your 30s are loud. 

Careers accelerate. Babies arrive (or don't). Relationships change. Houses get bought. Everyone looks like they've figured it out and suddenly money decisions feel heavier and more permanent. 

In this episode, Mel and Lawsie talk about the decade where momentum matters more than perfection. Because wealth in your 30s isn't built through dramatic moves. It's built through consistent ones… and by refusing to compare your life to someone else's highlight reel. 

We cover: 

– why small, boring investing still wins (even now) 
– the super conversation couples avoid and why women pay for it later 
– the insurance decisions that need to happen before life happens 
– avoiding the "dream home" golden handcuffs 
– lifestyle creep, pay rises and actually keeping your extra income 
– and the two habits quietly sabotaging women's finances: comparing and pressing pause 

This episode is for women earning well and women rebuilding because both can feel behind for different reasons. 

You're not late. 

You just need to start moving.
