[WARNING: LOVE IS BLIND UK SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE] Love is Blind UK has just wrapped on Netflix and WHAT. A. SEASON. From prenups to "I don'ts" to who pays for dinner and Sabrina's £70 supermarket shop, there were SO many juicy money themes in this series that I just had to unpack with someone. 

I'm joined by author of Money Talks, Ellie Austin-Williams, to chat about the couples form this season and explore some of the money stuff that came up during the show. Despite money being firstly a mathematical concept, what we kept coming back to was how deeply values-based so many of the financial conflicts were, highlighting how important it is to understand your own financial compass in order to have a healthy relationship. 

Highlights:

• Reunion debrief, including Sabrina's £70 supermarket shop and an ironing board
• Clashing love languages and the financial side of investing in a relationship
• Tom and Maria's clashing financial values
• Who pays for dinner on a first date?
• Can you ever reconcile differences in foundational financial values?
• What questions could the couples be asking in the pods to get to know each other more intimately on a financial level?
• Prenups, protecting your assets, and what's fair

IMPORTANT: when it comes to money and relationships, it's important to be aware of the risks and red flags for financial abuse. This interview episode with Serena McDuff from Respect Victoria explores financial abuse and its warning signs: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Co414jUd8h9Nghh9sqq2V?si=ZBoM0GBsRUugI82g2jGt7A&nd=1&dlsi=0b9407665813470a

In this episode, we're diving into a fantastic listener suggestion from Bonnie, who wanted ideas for making money without starting a full-blown side hustle. Bonnie, a stay-at-home mum with some evening free time, inspired us to explore creative ways to earn extra cash.

We chat about various options like selling clothes, participating in specific surveys, and even casual marking for universities. The goal is to find strategies that easily fit into your current lifestyle. 

Join us as we share our experiences with micro-hustles, how they've supported us in the past, and why they can be a smart addition to your financial toolkit.

In this solo episode I take you through the concept of the financial comfort zone, what it is and how it informs our financial behaviour. 

Much like comfort zones in our broader everyday lives, financial comfort zones can keep you stuck in certain sets of circumstances, and make it difficult to make changes even when it feels counterintuitive to stay where we are.

Insights in this episode have been extracted from my graduate studies in Financial Psychology, so buckle up and get ready to get to know more about why you are the way you are with money.
