Should You Invest While You're Still In Debt? And an Early Inheritance Dilemma
You’re smashing your financial goals, debt’s going down, confidence’s going up, and then that little voice pipes up: “Should I be investing too?” This week, we’re unpacking the guilt trip of the financially responsible. Can you actually build wealth while you still owe money? Victoria’s breaking down the maths and the mindset, and proving that sometimes the hottest ROI is just being a little bit boring. Then, an early-inheritance nightmare that’s giving full moral hangover. Her parents gifted her $50K for a house deposit… until they hit money trouble and might need it back. Do you hand it over out of love, or keep it and become the villain in your own family group chat? It’s financial guilt, family politics, and the ultimate test of boundaries. Plus, a brand-new segment where you get to ask the team anything (yes, really), a few chaotic money wins, and broke tips so unhinged they might actually work.
