than Miss Jessica Ricci and, of course, the wonderful Miss Bec Syed. Can you believe we have recorded 1,000 episodes already? That's wild. There's so many episodes. Be so for real. 1,000. That's like four digits. And some people have listened to every single one.

And multiple times because I did the maths when we got our Spotify wrapped last year and I was like, what are you guys doing? Like you've listened to more than the minutes I've created. wow some people have like listened to it double time and it's actually incredible i'd like i cannot tell you how grateful i am to not only be sitting here after a thousand episodes but just like for the community that has been along for the ride i cringe a little bit when people say i went back to your very first episode i'm like oh no no baby cakes don't do that don't do that but we've left it up obviously because it is powerful and it does really cool things but

My friends, while there are no dilemmas this week, we will be revisiting some of our earliest memories. We're going to be sharing an update from one of our very first money diarists and rewarding some of our most active community members. We are in our sentimental era and I feel like it feels just right. I'm feeling emotional. I know. I am as well.

And because it's a special occasion, we thought it might be fun to do things a little bit differently. So, new segment. She's stashed the money. If you've been tuning in over the last few weeks, you might have noticed a few odd sound bites working their way into our episodes. Well, now I can finally reveal our big plan. We've been dropping a word just here and there that makes up one mystery sentence.

There are five words in total and the final word is being revealed today right here on the Friday Drinks episode. Why? Well, my friends, if you are the first person to correctly place these words in the correct order, you might just win a cool $1,000 cash. Once you've heard the final word, head on over to our Instagram where you will find the entry form in our link in bio. There you can take a guess at your five-word sentence. If you haven't already, please go back and listen and make sure that you write them all down and then you can submit your five-word sentence for a chance to win. Entries

closed tomorrow, my friend, because we want this to be quick. If you're in the community and you have been listening to our show, this is how we are planning to reward you. How cool is that? That is so cool. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love a thousand dollars just like on a random Friday afternoon, you know? But also just being rewarded for being consistent and listening to our podcast. Clever. I just feel like when we were sitting down and we're like, how can we properly reward the community? I didn't want it to be super random. Yes. Like I wanted to make sure that we were a little bit intentional and I feel like this is our way of playing mind games at the same time as giving away cash to the most committed person. Oh my, I just know already if I was like listening to this and it was just like 12pm on Friday.

You've already turned it off. No, I'm like sick to my stomach. I'm like, oh my God, I go back and make sure I've found, like I would just be racing. I love that for them. I love it. I'm excited. All right, guys, let's take a really quick break because I'm sorry, with a thousand episodes under our belt, We have some really fun sponsors that we want you to hear from.

But when we get back, we'll be diving into more thousandth episode exclusives. That was a mouthful, but don't go anywhere. Welcome back to our thousandth episode of She's On The Money, where we're taking a little bit of a trip down memory lane and looking back at some of our earliest moments. All right. We've got what I have called mic drop moments. Okay. Jess, be honest.

Have you ever gone back and listened to an episode of She's On The Money? I have because it is my job and so. I'm lucky. I do have to go back and listen. That's where all those listens came from, Bec. It's all just Jess. Pumping up the numbers. It's Jess and my mum.

Maybe we don't have a single fan. It's just Jess re-listening. Who cares? We've got these hats. Someone mentioned actually recently on an episode that they heard my first episode because neither of us have been here the whole time. Oh, true. And I did go back and listen to that when they said it because I was like.

Oh, what was it? What did I? It was a random. A property one? No, it was a Friday drink. Oh, I just threw you in. Yeah, debuted on a Friday drink. I was like, look, it's Jess.

We love Jess. Oh, that's gorgeous. Well, and it was easy to find because it was when I started, it was right when format switched to three episodes. Oh, yes. So I just had to find the very first Friday. And wow, what a time. Wow.

I was but a shy spring chicken. Yeah. We used to actually drink on Friday drinks. Oh, that's gorgeous. Bring it back, I say. Can we still do that? So do you feel like you have changed your – of course, like you'd be more –

I've gotten so much more comfortable, I think. Like you can – listening, I don't know if anyone else can tell, but I could certainly tell that I was so nervous and so scared and I was new to the company and I was like I'd listened to the first season. So I was like Victoria's changed my money story in my life and now I'm sitting here sharing a vodka cruiser. Oh, my.

That was the whole thing. Yeah, that was crazy. I need to go back and listen to that because I can't even remember. I know where we recorded it. I remember recording it and just how cool we've changed so much. Look, I am arguably a very sentimental person, especially since having babies. Like I feel like my sentimental like limit has definitely increased and I feel like a thousand is a massive deal and I'm all about making a big deal about everyday things.

But like this is not just an everyday thing. the team and i we did some quick maths and it actually ends up being something like 21 full days like 24 hours in the day full days of non-stop she's on the money if you were to play the episodes back to back wow 21 whole days of content like of me non-stop talking no break no sleep break no sleep yeah isn't that insane that is insane we spent a lot of time with you guys You know us really well because we've spent all this time together. I'm so grateful. I always say you guys are friends that we just haven't met yet.

And I genuinely mean that when we run into people on the street or people are like, are you Victoria from She's On Money? I'm like, yes, queen. Who are you? Introduce me to you because I don't know your name. You know mine. Like, hi. It's actually the best.

But are you ready for the ultimate throwback? Yes. I went through some of the earliest posts on our Facebook page. okay so they are mostly from me but they're in the early days of She's On The Money and I took a heap of screenshots so I have them I've got them on a laptop I'll share them on socials obviously for you guys to go and have a squiz so you know what I'm talking about but these are my little mic drop moments they are arguably I don't know if the word is embarrassing I think I'm embarrassed of my graphic design skills mostly so please don't look too closely but first one is the

Victoria's or VD's not so secret cash flow plan I posted was a little bit of a sneak peek into my cash flow system from 2019 which by the way has not changed like I've tweaked it I've updated it but it's like the same system Microsoft Word formatting and like cut and paste and all and I obviously use the like more than symbol and number three to make a love heart on that of course yep and then there was a post about she's on the money launching and topping the charts it's screenshot of our Apple podcast app, which looks so dated. And we're the top spot in the Australian podcast charts in 2019. Not just of our category, but of like the entire podcast world. That's crazy. So crazy. There was a very cute picture of myself and Annabelle Lee from 2019. Then I took a

screenshot and shared it because I was so proud and I still am so proud. It's a screenshot of us hitting 30,000 friends in our Facebook group. And now we have over 300,000. And now we have more than 330,000, Jess. Isn't that insane? It just goes to show from little things, big things grow. Exactly. I couldn't believe it. I was like, oh my God, I remember being like, this is the most amount of people. This is like psychotic. Imagine a Facebook group with 30,000 people. Yeah. 330 now. That's wild. Insane. And then there was a whole thread from 2021. Look, it's the pay it forward thread where people in our community were sharing things like give vouchers and favours and discounted services all in the name of just being kind to one another. That's so nice. I remember

that. That was really, it was because we were in the midst of COVID. Yeah. And we had so many people submitting into the Facebook group because we've always had post approvals on. Yeah. I remember we had so many people submitting in saying, oh, I've got this thing that I want to share. I've got this thing that I want to share. And we were like, well, we can't have 500 of those posts. It's just too hard to manage so we made a thread and I remember it just being so lovely like in the midst of what was an awful awful time for everybody particularly those of us here in Melbourne I remember it was just so joyful we should do that thread again we should maybe I'll post in the Facebook group not today because we've got a lot going on yeah keep your eyes peeled and we will

do a pay it forward thread again where if you've been sitting on something that you know could go to a better home or like just something that you could share with someone in the community you could drop it in there my friends are you ready ready for money diarist returns yes so over the years we've interviewed literally hundreds of money diarists and while most of them have shared pretty incredible journeys so far we know that there is still so much growth on the cards and that's like the best bit right how many times have you listened to a money diary and I have been like oh my god like you're set but imagine you in five or ten years like you're going so far like to me it's crazy because some of those diarists have gone five years, have gone six years, like be so

for real. So we decided to seek out some of the diarists from our very first season to see how they were doing. It's been so long since I listened to that old episode. And it's so funny actually to hear how different things are, I guess, from back then to now. So at the time I was 33, I've recently turned 40. It just feels like so long ago. And back then I was working predominantly as a fitness influencer. I was posting on social media. And from that, my income was then generated through selling like programs and coaching services. So I wasn't really making much money, if any, via like social media ads or anything, but I was generating a lot of income via people finding me on social media and then signing up to my fitness coaching services. And yeah,

the snapshot of, I guess, the time that I was interviewed, that was my most successful period ever in my business. And 2019, yeah, I think my business brought in around 180K. Obviously, I had to pay tax, super, all that good stuff out of that. But that was a really high earning year. And then obviously, 2020 happened. People weren't out and about working out as much. So my business really changed. And I also really changed and went into a totally different space. And I'm now working as a counselor instead. So not really generating the income that I did back then, and also not really able to work the amount of hours that I could back then. So where I was earning upwards of sort of 120K consistently for a few years in a row there, I'm a little under

that now. I do earn a little bit more through social media ads because I am still doing that. And so that's kind of picked up and supplemented my income, which is nice. But yeah, really crazy to hear how different things were back then. And I graded myself a B at the time. I still think that that's pretty fair. I think my income was good, but I was not particularly smart with my money. I would say now my earnings are lower, but I probably still grade myself somewhere around a B, maybe a B minus in that I don't earn as much, but I am more smart with my money. I'm not really investing or doing anything like that at this point because I did buy a house a couple of years ago. So I have really invested into that and just like made sure that I'm keeping on top of like

getting ahead of my mortgage repayments, especially with all of the craziness of interest rates and everything to be able to try and put extra money aside to sort of buffer. That is a real priority for me now. So I'm a little more future focused, I guess, than I was at the time. I'm not spending as frivolously. I'm not buying much active wear compared to then. So that's been a real positive that I'm just a little more particular about planning for my future. In terms of my money values now. I think for me, it's really important to still be present, still make sure that I'm enjoying life. I'm not traveling as much as I was, but it is still something that is a really strong value for me to have that sense of adventure and sort of breaking up the period.

But instead of going on a long trip every year, it's probably a short trip every second year, but that's something that really does need to be put aside for me to make sure that I've got the time to do that. And just safety and security right now in the world that we live in with the crazy cost of living and interest rates and all of that, really just trying to be somewhat consistent with my income, really keeping on top of that, putting money, extra money aside if I do have a higher earning period to just have that kitty there for the low periods and just trying to be as stable as possible. I think that's the main thing that I really look for. One thing I am really proud of in running my own business over the last 10 years is that in this entire time

that I've been self-employed, I have been pretty much entirely self-sufficient. I've never had like a business manager or anything like that to help me. I've done it all on my own and just kind of figured it out along the way. And such a big part of that is the work behind building a social media community that then turns into such a great lead generator for me. And part of that is the hard work in showing up and making good content and building those connections. But also a little bit of that is just luck and being at the right place at the right time to build a bit of a following. So trying to kind of leverage off that and make sure that it's a sustainable business model is something I'm more conscious of now. I've been really fortunate that I've never had

to run any paid ads. Everything has just come through so organically, which has been really lucky but I'm now kind of trying to diversify that a little bit and not just rely on social media just in case it ever disappears at any point I'm trying to build referral networks and all of those kinds of things just to make sure that I'm like safe and stable and kind of planning for any changes in the future but I feel really lucky that I've been able to do that on my own and create this out of nothing and you know lead to me being able to pay my own way through life by my own house which I never thought I'd be able to do on my own so the fact that I did this by myself is yeah really special oh that's amazing I am obsessed with her I literally love her so much

and we know her Jess and I know her personally we're not gonna give it away who she is but like that's where one of our diarists has been and has been growing and I just think it is so important that we become who we're meant to be yeah and as much as this is a money podcast not focus so much on the money totally absolutely like it just goes to show that even our ideas and our values about money can shift and change and evolve throughout our lifetimes and that I guess things that we once thought defined us and were us and what wealth could look like can be so so different in just a matter of years and all of this is to say should we bring back money diarists onto the show and do like a whole where are they now i loved hearing what she's up to now and i think

it's she's living a life that i would love to live you know i think she's so positive and so happy and just such a beautiful soul i think that irrespective of what that journey has looked like I loved hearing that update and I want to hear more I'm so we've had so many fabulous diarists over the years bring them back bring them back but also it's funny listening to it because when I met this person and they were on the show they were just a diarist to me if that makes sense like I thought they had a really cool story I wanted to have them online and since then we've developed a personal relationship they came to my 30th birthday like they're just a really wholesome human being and it just reminds me that it's not just about like the

destination maybe sometimes it's about the friends that you collect along the way yeah gorgeous we have lots of cheese on the money friends all right after the break we're going to be running through some of our favorite things some team picks that we think have enduring value plus your way to win each and every single one of those things that we think are valuable so stick around guys. Our 1000th episode is coming up soon and to celebrate we're giving one clever listener a chance to win. She's stashed the cash. Today's mystery word is 30. Tune into episodes of She's on the Money between the 17th of June and the 3rd of July and listen out for the hidden code words. There are five in total. The first person to arrange the code words in the correct

order will win $1,000. Entries open on Friday the 3rd of July with details shared live on the pod. Good luck and happy hunting. Welcome back everybody. My friends, now it is time for the moment I have personally been waiting for. This is our favorite things. While this podcast is dedicated to saving money and budgeting well, like let's be honest, whilst this podcast is absolutely dedicated to saving money and budgeting well, learning to invest and being really wise with our cash and creating wealth. Let's be honest, it's also about our earning and our spending habits and building better ones. Part of that, and we have this conversation in our Facebook group all the time and sometimes on the show, is recognising good value when you see it.

So that when you do end up spending the money, we're making the best possible investment with our hard-earned cash and naturally we asked the team about their favorite things you know what are their top picks or simply what is a pick that brings them both emotional and financial joy Jessica Ricci remind me what topped your list well mine had to be a callback to something that I think everyone who's listened for a long time will recall that is my beloved KitchenAid that I did pay a dollar for. If we remember, I saved my flybys points. Yes. I hustled hard. Not a cent was paid, but she was worth every cent, every dollar, every penny. I use that thing all the time to make all my sweet treats that I cook for people now. It's a powerhouse. It's a workhorse

and I love it so much. Mine is white, but if I wished you my time over, I do think I'd get one in pink. So you've picked for the community and I've got it listed here. You've picked the KitchenAid artisan bowl lift stand mixer in dried rose i sure have i just think it would look absolutely beautiful in someone's kitchen i'm so excited to make things to share love and joy with other people too and just like jess someone in our community is not gonna pay for it yeah because i did money so none of this by the way guys i think it's very important to point out here none of this is sponsored so the brands that we are mentioning and the items that we are talking about here actually have been bought by She's On The Money

for the She's On The Money community just because we love them so damn much. And selected by the team. Exactly. I said, Jess, what's your thing? And, I mean, that stand mix said, Jess, I think it's a little better than your one. That one's $1,049.

Oh, she's getting an upgrade. But that's nice. Yeah. So, Bec, what did you think that the community would love the most or what do you love the most? I don't necessarily have one of these, but it is my life's dream, my life's goal to get a coffee machine for my home because, first of all, saving money all day, every day. And secondly, isn't it the most wholesome, gorgeous thing? Wake up, sun's out, make yourself a coffee, sit on the porch, maybe, sit on the deck, whatever you've got going on.

So for me, it's a coffee machine really of any caliber, of any kind, but that's my pick for the community. Of any kind. Well, you did send us one. You have sent us. And apparently, we did ask the community a while ago because I was like, what's the best coffee machine when I was purchasing one? And a resounding number of people said it's a Breville. And the number one Breville that our community loves was the Breville

Bambino Plus Espresso Machine. So we have bought one of those and that is going to be given away as well. How are we going to, like, ship all this stuff to you guys? TBC. We'll figure it out. can't be that hard I can drive around boys do it and then I thought I don't know I'm like you guys had such cool things and like I remember having this team meeting and being like guys we're going to pick our favorite things we're going to gift it to the community what are we going to do I was

like oh I'm being practical like a lot of people in our community are at like uni and if they're not at uni anymore they probably haven't spent a lot of money on a laptop and like for me my laptop is my lifeline like i i just live and breathe my laptop i know jess does too like i feel like if i was to pick three things that define a person which is also a really fun game we should play later where you go what are three items that yes define jess or three items that define beck or me anyway jess and a laptop but jess and a pink laptop so yeah jess has a rose gold laptop and i was like okay cool let's combine the two because i'm a mac girly yeah and everyone else in the team seems to like PCs. Weird, but okay. I'm a Mac girlie, so I picked the Apple

MacBook in pink. So cute. So I was like, let's give away an Apple MacBook. It's the new Apple Neo MacBook in blush pink. And I just, I want to upgrade to that. Like I want that, but I can't justify it. So I'll give it to you. That's gorgeous. So that's what I'm doing. If you follow us on Instagram, you know, it's not just the three of us. There's a whole wonderful team that makes She's On The Money possible. And they all picked their favorite things as well. And I got them to make us a sneaky little voice note to explain what they've picked. So they're going to make their podcast debut and tell you what they've picked. Hello, my name is Brooke and I do a lot of the content and marketing at Shoes on the Money. No one actually knows my real role title

is, but that's okay. My favorite thing that I have chosen is the Roborock Curivo L, I believe the number is, and it is a robot vacuum. And I love it because it is like having a little robot working for you 24-7 and you don't have to worry about it. It has genuinely changed my life. So I would highly recommend that if you don't have one, you look at getting one. And I think that everyone needs one. So I'm glad someone in the community is going to get to have one and enjoy it. And you guys might benefit from this because who really wants to vacuum their house every day? Not me. But if you can have a little robot do it while you do all other fun things, that sounds pretty good to me. Hello, this is Georgia. I'm the graphic designer and work in

the content department. For my favorite thing, I have chosen the Dyson Airwrap. If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you probably already know that so many of us on the team are obsessed with our Dyson Airwrap. I have had mine since 2021 and it's genuinely one of my most used purchases. She's a multifaceted gem and has so many attachments to create all different looks and we love a multi-use product at She's in the Money, Money Win. Also maintaining your hair is expensive. So having something that you can use at home to style your hair without completely frying it between appointments is something that we all just can really appreciate. Hello, my name is Kiara and I am the community manager at Cheese on the Money. So odds are,

if you've sent us a message, I am the girl responding to you. For my favourite thing, I have chosen a road peptide or lip balm. However, upon seeing what the rest of the team chose, I have pretty much upped that to the entire road range. As a Hayley Bieber loyalist and have recently come back from America, I brought it all back with me and just in time for it to become available in Mecca. I am obsessed with it. It saved my skin. The colours are incredible and yeah, could not highly recommend enough. So whoever is lucky enough to win, enjoy the Hayley Bieber lore and more. Hello, this is Suha. She's one of my resident copywriter. For my favourite thing, I've chosen a good food voucher

because as a foodie and a bit of a hedonist, nothing beats an exciting new dining experience. So these vouchers are accepted across the country and they always give me something to look forward to throughout the year. So whether it's a special event, my birthday, tourist season, you know, anything, they're particularly useful for spoiling yourself, spoiling a friend, that sort of thing. When you feel like doing something a little bit special or maybe even thoughtful and want to feel generous, but maybe you're a little bit skint. So you can sometimes get these ones discounted, saving you even more when it's time for the bill but i'm going to save you the bill by gifting you one instead all right guys that's the wrap-up of what our prize pack includes how do we feel i'm

very jealous of whoever's gonna win this but also very happy you know you guys give us so much so much support so much love i wouldn't have a job if you weren't listening to this show that is true that is true it's you owe everything to them miss jessica no i'm joking but also like we owe everything to jess like how good did the podcast get when she joined i know it's a team effort everybody but i just think i'm so happy that we are doing this episode to give back because you know we sat down we spoke about it we said what do we do to celebrate like a thousand episodes we've done so many wonderful things do we reminisce what do we do and no we give the community cool stuff yeah like we just it just it wouldn't be what it is without you guys and i'm really excited

to think about some people winning these great prizes. That's beautiful. I know, and I think that they're all things that people wouldn't immediately go and purchase for themselves or are really big purchases. I thought that was a really cool way of giving back to the community in a way that's just, like, fun. And aligns with everything we're – Yeah, it's fun.

We want you to enjoy. Like, it's not about, like, you know, the crux of what She's on the Money is about, but it is super fun. All right, so obviously we're not going to gatekeep. we are giving you the chance to win all of our favorite things. Head on over to the She's on the Money Instagram to enter and you could win each and every single one of these items, which I think is really cool. And I mean, I'm biased because it's my team. I love my team, but I also love the items that my team has picked. Entries close at the end of July. So my friends, you have

to be in it to win it. All right. As you guys know, She's on the Money, as you literally just said, it's like just like got hold of my script that I didn't give her. She's on the Money would literally be nothing without you guys our incredible community is literally incredible and I don't say that lightly like we have seen so many beautiful things come out of this community and like we are so privileged to call you not only our loyal listeners but our friends like I think each and every single one of us when we have met you on the street or at the shops or one time I met someone while I was arguing with my husband over broccolini at Coles and it was just so funny and so nice like I don't think I've met someone that I'm like oh that doesn't make sense

that she listens to our pod like every single person I'm like yes queen I love it like I've made the most beautiful friends but we are just so grateful for the ups and the downs that you've shared with us and your own money journeys you've been so generous with us let's just say we do pay attention like we get to know you in our dms we see those consistent voices we see those like names pop up and we go, I see you, Leah. I see you. I know you're there. Like you're not just a number to us. You are literally a name that we talk about. And that's why we are rewarding some of the most active members in our community since this whole thing began. And this was no mean feat because how the hell do you do that? So we have trawled across every single social media platform,

our emails, our DMs, literally everything to find out who has been arguably the most active in the community. And whilst we have already reached out to a handful of people already, here are some of the wonderful contributors that we are just giving some hot, hot cash to. We are sending them some hot, hot cash via a very nice $250 Visa gift card. Oh, lovely. I don't want just a, well, yeah, Oprah, but like no tax implications. You get a $250 gift card. You get a $250 gift card. You don't have to pay tax on a gift card. So I pay the tax. That's why, you know, at like Christmas time when your employer gives you a gift card. It's not just because they don't want to give you cash. It's because you would have to pay tax on cash and a gift card makes

more sense. You're welcome. Yes. That's why my team get gift cards at Christmas time. And I'm like, guys, it's not because I'm gatekeeping. It's because I don't want you to be paying more DAX. I appreciate that. You're welcome. And it's a Visa gift card so you can spend it on literally anything you want. There are just a few names. I've got Leah. I've got Lizzie. I've got Aurelia. I've got Alicia, Jessica, Monique, Cassandra, and obviously a handful more because I've reached out to them already. Like I know they're listening to this podcast as well. Here's some of the things that they had to say when we reached out to them. And my team has like cut and paste these into a document and I have to read them out now without getting too emotional. So let's give that a crack.

First cab off the rank, Monique. Monique says, a huge thank you to you all. I love the different personalities and perspectives in the team some aspects of my finance I'm like Victoria with spreadsheets and data and other parts I'm more like Beck and I just really enjoy the ride which is so important too I'm trying to be more like Brooke and stick to my budget but Jess and her realism is always there to balance me out oh can I just say I love that you guys identify with us on such a level like that like it's so lovely to hear someone say crazy a piece of you resonates with me yes of me like I just think that's so beautiful yes and like when they say that that's exactly how we see the team too it's so funny because that dynamic is not just behind the

mics like that's in real life yeah like how many times am I talking back off a financial ledge I'm like babe that is not reasonable don't do that and how many times I'm like Jess work less babe like stop taking on so much and you're just like a realist you're like nope I've got a goal and I'm achieving it and, like, Brooke, queen of budgets. Like, literally all of that is so true. Lizzie said, you girls have completely changed my life. Way back from when it was VD and the law student to now, I'm so proud of us in this community.

That law student was Annabelle. Oh, my goodness. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. Season one shout out. I know. An OG fan. Exactly.

Then we've got Leah. She says, guys, happy 1,000th episode. Thank you so much for everything you've done for this community. you've not only completely changed my life financially and professionally but you continue to do the same for so many others every single day the impact that you've had on people's lives is incredible and reaching 1000 episodes is a testament to your dedication and hard work you should all be incredibly proud of what you've achieved congratulations on this amazing milestone and thank you for continuing to inspire and help so many people oh my gosh thank you jess said great

name it's not only the enormous amount of financial literacy I've learned over all these years but it's also the other small things I've gained from the podcasts guests and community from simple things like recipe ideas VD's Christmas crack is absolutely my favorite holiday destinations to how to clean my oven and all the other random suggestions and recommendations mentioned by both the she's on the money team and the like-minded community you guys have created beautiful it's so much more than just money isn't it yeah I did teach you guys how to clean your Robbins. I did. I love a cleaning tip and trick. And if you didn't know that about me, don't worry. There's a whole Instagram highlights on my page of cleaning. Alicia says,

hello, she's on the money. Congratulations on your 1000th episode, a magnificent milestone, your positivity. And honestly, all things finance are what I love about your podcast the most. Great tips and laughs are guaranteed, especially the latest Beck and Jess financial year, 2027 episode not all lips i way k way k congrats again legends i know you're laughing but i have not watched that episode back yet i have not had the time do i need to order out content miss jess and beck i fear exactly it's delicious that if you know you know if you know you know yeah if you don't you know i'm sorry you're just gonna have to go back and listen oh dear lord okay I think that's one of my new favorite callbacks.

Aurelia says, I can't believe we're getting close to the 1000th episode. This is such a milestone. I'm so beyond grateful for She's on the Money. My friends are so sick of me for referencing your team all the time. Like we are friends. We are. And Cassandra said, I've been on a few month long binges of all day, every day, listening to every single episode of this show from start to finish.

I've finished and read every single book and will scream from the rooftops about how good it is and what it's done for me to anyone who will listen. Quite honestly, it's changed my life and I can't thank you guys enough. It also made me want to change my career and become a financial advisor or a broker. I want to be able to pass on knowledge and help continue to educate those who come after me. The girls' dynamic, especially on a Friday drinks episode, is absolutely divine and I often love putting it on and having a glass of wine on a friday whilst i'm cooking dinner also thank you vd for your hair curling recommendations honestly thank you again from the bottom of my heart i've really enjoyed this journey and i look forward to my future it's bright because of you gorgeous

stop it because it's so special like it's literally so crazy i don't want to cry on this episode because I cried on the last one that I recorded with Beck. That's true. I can't have these spies. Like it's actually magic. Like if you told me to summarize our entire journey of a thousand episodes, I would literally just say it's been magic. Yeah. It's crazy to think that we just come and we sit and we talk into the silly little microphones. And sometimes like today we wear silly little hats and like the impact, you know what I mean? Like we come in And it's fun. It's fun to talk and it's self-centred sometimes

because we talk about our own journeys and, like, I know that that was my experience. I listened to season one of the show and it literally changed my life. Yeah. And it's crazy to think that we get to do that for other people. I know. Like, what a blessing. It really is.

It's so, like, so kind. I'm lost for words, honestly, like what everyone had to say. Who would have thought that it would be this journey? And, like, just saying she started, she'd been from the community, she came in but like how cool is it that we get to follow your journeys but then also we've been on our own like i've been achieving financial independence jess has just bought her own freaking house on her own with her own money with nobody else that's so cool two thousand dollars invested like yes we've all been on such journeys yes thank you and you guys have been along for the

ride absolutely and we're so grateful you guys are just amazing yeah i'm obsessed i'm so proud of you all. My friends, how beautiful. Well, unfortunately, that is a wrap on our thousandth episode. We will see you for another thousand and a thousand after that, because I don't think you can get rid of us. We really, really love bringing you this content, not just because we're self centered, Jess, but because we genuinely love changing lives.
