RTC77: Why we’re no longer talking about retirement.

The Curve ·

2023/09/13

If you’re anything like us, when you hear the word ‘retirement’, your mind goes straight to the rest home: long lonely days, wiry greys, and endless games of bingo. But the reality is, retirement can actually be a massively exciting time (if you’re prepped and ready for it, which you will be after this episode). Alongside giving retirement the hot new look it deserves, we discuss how much you may need (and how to get there), balancing experiencing today with saving for tomorrow, the mind-blowing

In the ongoing US vs China big-dog showdown, China has banned the use iPhones for all government officials, leaving Apple shareholders (and everyone else in the world) spooked. But it’s not all bad news – for the rest of this episode, we’re feeling positive, empowered and all kinds of sexy. We’re talking the rise of OnlyFans and its insane dividend payouts, three bad-ass women transforming the US economy with their art, and the joys of finding ‘really nice upholstery’ in the South of France.

The self-proclaimed 'Millionaires Wife', AKA Linda Andrade is a TikTok sensation known for her outrageous spending habits. She posted a video recently talking about having spent $16,540USD in a day on Chanel bags, gold lattes, detox massages and a personal chauffeur... Obviously Vic and I weren't going to top Lindas spending, but we thought it could be a fun (and scary) to pick a random week and look at each others statements. Lets just say the person who had a financial blowout might not be who you

In today’s episode, we’re dealing with a bit of doom and gloom – but don’t worry, Vic still has some great jokes to rehash! We’re talking rainy days for the S&P500, the rising cost of natural disasters, and the Danish pharma-giant taking the EU stock market by storm with their brand-new weight loss drugs. Hot on the heels of the EU’s biggest company, Novo Nordisk’s investors are all smiles … but what could it mean for society? Big week, big questions.For more from The

Strap in, people. In today’s episode we’re going slightly rogue and vaguely uncomfortable. We’re talking money (obviously), scandal (yes please) and everyone’s favourite upbeat podcast topic: death. That’s right, it’s will time. We talk to the queen of wills and estate planning, Belinda Heunis, about how to create a will, why they’re so important (spoiler: they’re really, really important), why young people need to get on board, what happens if you die without one, and why you should always tell

2023/08/22

In todays episode we talk about intergenerational wealth, and how you can leave it behind. Soph's very clever Grandmother started investing 50 years ago, at a time when women weren't even allowed to work in finance. She was part of an investing club with some of her other girlfriends (um - amazing), and invested regularly. What started out as $12,000NZD, grew to over $1,000,000... We can learn so much from her portfolio and the way she invested. An episode very close to Soph's heart. For more from

How much do you think the Spanish team got paid for winning the FIFA Women’s World Cup? We hit the streets of East London this weekend to ask a few people this question, and honestly the answers were not that surprising! Also this week, a very scary prediction about the stock market has been made by someone who, well, has guessed right before 😬So what should we do to protect our investments?For more from The Curve:InstagramWebsiteTikTokNewsletter Disclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared

Have you swiped your Visa, Mastercard or American Express today? Well, so have BILLIONS of other people. These companies are so familiar to us that we can forget that they profit from our everyday purchases, and we can invest in them on the stock market too! In this episode, Vic & Soph discuss how buying stocks in companies we already know about can reduce the complexity of investing. And Vic, (being a little too familiar with one of these credit card companies 💸), gives us the market low down

In today’s trip around the globe, we look at French takeover offers, the home-life of Brits in their 30s and why we all need China to stay inflated. Plus, WeWork is WeCrashing (again) and Disney’s on the up – but at what cost? We talk Hollywood strikes, how we can spot rising share prices, and unrelated to investing, but Soph met a hot, flirty stranger (who does his most powerful thinking on the dance floor, apparently).For more from The Curve:InstagramWebsiteTikTokNewsletter Disclaimer: Raising The

In case you haven’t seen the news lately, Yellowstone star Kevin Costner has found himself in some seriously hot water – all thanks to a little piece of paper from 18 long years ago. His prenup. In today’s episode, we do a deep dive into the world of prenups with New York’s finest: the brilliantly bad-ass lawyer to the stars, Stephanie Lehman. We discuss the value of ‘women’s work’, the importance of looking ahead, and how to make that prenup conversation a little bit sexier (spoiler alert: it

We hope this ep makes you feel a little better about some of your own financial low points, because lets be honest, we've all had them! You'll also learn a thing or two
