As the world shifts more and more to online banking and shopping, fuelled even more so by the pandemic, there are more opportunities for people to fall victim to scams.  The reality is that it’s not just older, non-tech-savvy people being targeted.  More and more younger people are being taken advantage of too.

In this bonus episode Melissa Browne will talk about the most common scams out there and the top cyber security tips to keep your money secure in an online world.

Money talk can feel awkward, but putting it off rarely helps. That’s the idea behind What The Finance, a straightforward series from Mamamia Podcasts that tackles the questions we often think are too simple or too embarrassing to ask out loud. Over eight episodes, you’ll follow along as financial expert and author Melissa Browne works with actress and activist Pallavi Sharda to demystify personal finance from the ground up. It’s less about stock market jargon and more about the practical stuff that makes a real difference in your week-to-week life. You’ll hear honest conversations about setting realistic savings goals, understanding how superannuation really works, and untangling the confusing concept of so-called ‘good debt’. This podcast creates a relatable space where financial literacy is built one clear, manageable topic at a time. It’s designed for anyone who’s ever felt a bit lost looking at their bank statement or wondered if they’re making the right moves with their pay. By blending expert guidance with a genuine beginner’s perspective, the series makes the often-intimidating world of business and investing feel accessible and, most importantly, actionable. Tune in to get a clearer handle on your money, without the confusing jargon or judgment.
