Are you a new or expecting parent?

Then this mini-series is for you!

As a parent, the advice, marketing and pressure to buy a huge list of things can feel overwhelming (and be very costly, too).

Our co-hosts for this BRAND NEW Family Finance Mini-Series, Mitchell Sneddon and Phoebe Kohler, share the most expensive things they spent money on when having their first children and the items they wouldn’t buy again.

We want to hear what you think! Jump into the Rask Community to share your money savings tips.

šŸ‘¶šŸ¼ Welcome to our Family Finance Mini-Series

Hi, I’m Mitchell. I’m the Head of Funds Management at Rask. I’m also a dad. You might think, ‘This is a guy in finance with 15+ years experience, he must have all the answers to raising kids and balancing the budget”.Ā 

You couldn’t be more wrong.

Like all parents, I’m figuring this stuff out. And I’m not the only one.

Joining me for this special series on The Australian Finance Podcast is Phoebe Kohler, whoā€™s helping me tackle the issues that matter to starting, raising and growing a family.Ā 

Through this family finance series, we’ll discuss everything that matters to you. Including all of the stuff you worry about.

From discovering the dangers of walking into Baby Bunting unprepared, picking a good school to an empty nest or divorce. We’re here to support you – and have a lot of fun along the way. We’ll be joined by experts in family finances, parenting, health and wellbeing and lifestyle design.

But two things to note:

  1. We might swear and carry on. That’s who we are. So, you might have noticed the little ‘e’ in your podcast player. Parenting should be fun. But if the series isn’t right for you, feel free to skip it.Ā 
  2. We need to hear from you. If you LOVE the show, please let Phoebe and me know. Use the link in your podcast player to send us your questions, feedback, topics, and so on. Select The Australian Finance Podcast, then leave your feedback.Ā
