In this inaugural episode of a five-part series, financial educator and author Vanessa Stoykov details the way TIME contributes to how financially comfortable we are - both now and later in life. 

Vanessa is joined by financial commentator Sally Loane to dive deep into the lessons learned from fictional married couple Karen and Russ, characters pulled from Vanessa’s finance novel ‘The Breakfast Club for 40-somethings.’ 

What you will learn in this episode:

• How looking successful can be extremely different to having wealth. 
• How motherhood forces some women to lose out on superannuation and the ways working partners can combat this.    
• The ways a partner supported a stay-at-home mother of three reinventing herself to go back to work.
• The direction and insight a financial planner can offer. 

‘A man is not a plan.’ 

‘Motherhood and guilt are two very close terms’

‘A lot of people in middle-class Australia are probably living a little bit closer to the edge than people think.’
