  • Well researched pod

    Emma knows her stuff and she’s really witty. I came to the podcast after having listened to both of her books (audiobooks). Anyone who has issues or baggage or feelings of shame and inadequacy around money (or clothing) will find helpful information here. Not just about how to budget, per se- but about how to heal your relationship with your money (and/or your wardrobe). Thank you Emma. I only wish I had found you 30 years ago!

  • Funny and helpful

    As someone who regularly deep-dives money topics, this podcast was the missing piece. Emma focuses on behaviour, not just numbers, all while making you laugh along the way. I’m very grateful for the way Emma has helped me set up a money system that works for me.

  • Emma is a COMEDIAN, will make you laugh and SAVE $$

    I have been listening to Emma for 3 years. I listen to her everyday, and even listen to the same episodes over and over again. While she doesn’t class herself as a Comedian, I am truly always uplifted and in stitches. She has been the one voice of reason on the internet for me that doesn’t try to sell me things to earn $$$. I care more about the environment, my wallet and who I am thanks to you Emma. P.S. Never ever give up and I also love the “week in our wallets” ep with Victoria. Can’t wait ... more

A deep dive into the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme and Australian Government Help to Buy Scheme
Q: Can you use these schemes if you already own or have owned an investment property?
Yes, but there are restrictions: the 5% deposit scheme requires you not have owned property in the last 10 years; the Help to Buy scheme requires you not own any property at the time of purchase. Exceptions exist for certain scenarios, such as partial ownership changes.
A deep dive into the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme and Australian Government Help to Buy Scheme
Q: How does buying out your government share work under the Help to Buy scheme?
Buying out the government share is based on the current market value of the home, not the original contribution; you can buy back all or part of the government's share over time, or the government receives its percentage of the sale price when you sell.
A deep dive into the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme and Australian Government Help to Buy Scheme
Q: Are you eligible for the schemes if you've previously owned property, including overseas property?
Eligibility differs by scheme: for the 5% deposit scheme you must not have owned property in Australia in the last 10 years, while the Help to Buy scheme requires you not currently own any property in Australia or overseas; exceptions may apply in certain situations.
