Or join us on Thursday the 20th of April 8pm AEST to talk about all things financial.
What are some of the challenges you face in terms of money?
Making it since I've been pretty sick for the past couple of months so I haven't been able to get a job and saving it since I don't have an income and usually lend money to my Mum.
That would be hard @FootyFan26, especially trying to budget on a small income whilst trying to help family.
Great point @roseisnotaplant, it can be hard at looking for a new or first job, and that feeling of getting that first paycheck can make you just want to spend it all very quickly.
That's actually pretty awesome i reckon @redhead ! A lot of people are in a lot of debt these days, i found this site which shows the total ammount of credit card debt people are in, just in Australia and it's 32 BILLION bucks!
Yep i think you're pretty much dead on @FootyFan26! That's a lot when you think about it, because you have to pay 700 a year in interest on a debt of that much. 700 bucks a year you could be saving, or using to buy something rather than just paying to a bank for being in debt 😞
That's a good point @Noel-Moneycare, having enough money to fix your car if its broken down, paying a bill or covering rent for a little while if you lose your job can make a big difference to your stress levels!
That's great @redhead that you try and budget your money. It can be difficult trying to keep within our budgets sometimes.
1. How important is money to you? Do you save it, spend it all or have some debt?
Money is really important to me, I try to save it but always seem to go over my allocated spending limit. I have debt but am repaying at small intervals. I try to do my best at budgeting but sometimes fail, but thats okay 🙂
Hey everyone! Nice to see y'all! And a very special welcome to @Noel-Moneycare, thanks for joining us tonight!
