RTC110: Pay off the mortgage or invest? Part Two

The Curve ·

2024/04/09

Although this 2-parter seems somewhat like Sophie's voice messages; a little rambly, and at times totally off-topic, we hope that by the end, you'll come away with a better understanding of what's best for your financial situation: paying off the mortgage early, or investing the extra funds. Investing may make you more money than paying off debt, but the savings from interest on mortgage payments can be significant. This is why it’s important to determine (based on your personal circumstances)

2024/04/02

Today we’re discussing one of the grey areas we get asked about a lot; whether to prioritise investments, or paying off the mortgage. And although Soph's spent the past few days skilfully dodging emails and meetings using Vic's mysterious operation as her golden ticket, this week we're back in business. As both mortgage and interest rates seesaw, it can be difficult to know where to put your money and what will be best in the long run. In this episode, we’re discussing ways in which you can decipher

Sorry Nance.Okay, okay, Reddit shares take a turn after the IPO last week (where the company goes public so you can buy shares) as the dreaded short-sellers arrive, McDonald’s makes a sweet deal with the

2024/03/26

Today we welcomed to the studio (otherwise known as Vic's Niece and Nephew's playroom) one of our listeners; Sophia Cich, who told us one of the coolest investing stories we've ever heard. Finding the balance between spending money now for fun vs saving for the future is pretty hard to gauge. How far in the future should you be saving for? How long should you leave your investments for? And can you enjoy any of your investments along the way? Sophia’s story is a great example of how to invest for

This week we’re speaking with the internet’s big sister, Aleks Nikolic - founder of Broke Girl Wealth. As a full-time lawyer and advocate for financial literacy, Aleks offers invaluable insights into financial red flags to look out for in relationships, JOMO, and how a hit of dopamine can be obtained by saving and investing.

Soph’s finally back in London, but she’s arrived with some pretty painful baggage (shoutout to Freya, Curve fan / world’s best air hostess on hand with antiseptic and ice). And while one iconic duo is now back together, the relationship between China and the U.S. seems to be deteriorating further. The U.S. are trying to pass a bill that could mean 170 million American users will be banned from using the Chinese platform TikTok... ouch.

We did our first LIVE podcast event in New Zealand, and it was sparkly, chic and extremely luxurious. We had the absolute honour of sitting down with Tasha Jenkins and Christine Power (two brilliant experts from the iconic Webb’s Auction House) to talk about the ins and outs of investing in luxury items. The questions (like the Veuve) were flowing. Where do we start? How long do we keep a piece for? How volatile is the market? Do ethics come into it? Is orange a bad choice? Should we keep the box

Crypto is flying high, up 150% in the last six months (and Soph and Vic invested!). To celebrate, Soph’s enjoying a Corona in bed while Vic sips on her lemon water. Bliss. And the good news doesn’t end there. The price of gold is also hitting record highs, parental leave in Australia is getting 12% sweeter, and while Oprah’s reasons for leaving the board may be questionable, it seems that Weight Watchers is getting a taste of its own low-carb, low-fat and highly outdated medicine. Oh, and Vic’s into

‘If I buy something then return it, I’ve basically made money. If I pay in cash, it’s literally free. Anything under $5 doesn’t count.’ If you’ve been on any form of social media lately, you’ve no doubt witnessed the fast-growing (and for many people, quite funny) trend, ‘Girl Math’. In today’s episode, we sit down with Bronwyn Taylor, a delightful and highly intelligent economist, to talk about gender stereotyping, ingrained sexism and the deep-rooted problems that come with labelling girls as

This week, Vic’s flying out, Soph’s dancing like Derulo and Wendy’s thrown a big cheesy spanner in the works. We look at the burger surge, the backlash and if the fast-food icon is being wildly arrogant or weirdly clever. And with so many big names selling stocks and hoarding cash (we’re looking at you Buffett, Bezos and Zuckerberg), there’s an air of uncertainty rippling through the finance world – so should we be fearful and careful, or is it time to get greedy? Plus, we’ve got hot tips, epic

After a wholesome old weekend, filled with nudity, ice baths and open-fire cooking, we’re back in the real world and ready to get stuck into some finance. While Goldman Sachs is dealing with some women-in-power issues (shock horror), Taylor Swift is proving that females can do anything … like bring entire countries out of recession. And while Bitcoin’s embarking on a halving event, Japan’s stock market has been doubling (and doubling again). Oh, and we’re on YouTube! Tune in to see Soph’s dramatic

Although neither wants to be here, Mike and Ian really come to the party – spilling on the tea on our money-personalities growing up. Who stole from their family to buy McDonalds?

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Julia Glum, a personal finance journalist whose funny, relatable and incredibly honest writing is helping to bring the salary-chat out of the shadows.

We talk about who’s soaring, who’s stalling and who’s nosediving from the sky (with parts falling off as they go). We also look at the people-friendly reason behind Walmart’s latest stock split, jumping on the bandwagon of AI investing, the perils of adult acne and our own personal ‘loud budgets’.
