  • How to Use Credit Card Points to Fly Business Class (Without Getting into Debt)
    Jan 19 2026

    Most people think flying business class is a luxury reserved for celebrities, CEOs, or people spending obscene amounts of money.

    But what if it’s actually about systems, not status?

    I’ve avoided this topic for a long time, mainly because we work with so many women who are actively getting out of credit card debt. So let me be very clear from the start — this conversation is only for people who already have strong control over their money.

    Because when credit cards are used badly, they cost you freedom.
    But when they’re used strategically, they can give it back.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Hui, founder of iFlyFlat, who hasn’t paid for a flight in over a decade.

    We talk about how points actually work, why most people use them backwards, and how to think about credit cards as a payment system, not debt.

    This isn’t about spending more.
    It’s about using what you already spend… better.

    If you love travel, hate wasting money, and want to understand the rules before you play the game, this episode will completely change how you think about points.

  • Health Is Wealth: The Ultimate 2026 Women’s Health Checklist for Your 30s, 40s & 50s
    Jan 12 2026

    We talk a lot on Get Rich about how to prevent a financial crisis, building buffers, having the right insurance, and not leaving things until it’s too late.

    In this episode, we apply that same thinking to something just as important: your health.

    Because a medical crisis doesn’t just affect your body, it can impact your income, savings, super, career, and long-term financial security.

    Molly is joined by women’s health GP Joanne Helen Mackson to create a practical, decade-by-decade health checklist for Australian women in their 30s, 40s and 50s, covering what to screen for, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to advocate for yourself in a system that hasn’t always been built with women in mind.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • What health checks actually matter in your 30s, including cervical screening, skin checks, fertility conversations, mental health, and when period pain isn’t normal
    • What changes in your 40s, including the Medicare 45+ Health Assessment, perimenopause symptoms, bowel cancer screening from 45, and breast screening decisions
    • What to prioritise in your 50s, including mammograms, bowel screening, bone health, heart health, and chronic disease prevention
    • Why women often need to push harder for answers, and how to do that effectively
    • How prevention is one of the smartest financial and life investments you can make

    This is the episode to listen to with your notes app open, then book the check-ups you’ve been putting off, and send to a friend who needs it too.

    General information only. Always speak with your GP or healthcare professional about what’s right for you.

    Health is wealth, and this episode shows you how to protect both.

    ✔️ Build realistic habits you can actually stick to past February

    This is a calm, practical reset designed for real life, not perfection.

    Dec 22 2025

    Property Wrapped 2025 is here.

    In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin is joined by Arjun Paliwal from InvestorKit to break down what really happened in Australia’s property market in 2025, and what it means for buyers and investors heading into 2026.

    We unpack the data behind the headlines, including which cities and regions outperformed, where the strongest price growth occurred, how buyer behaviour shifted throughout the year, and why some people kept missing out on properties.

    You’ll also learn:

    • Why “recovery” is the word that best sums up 2025
    • Which price points saw the most activity
    • Investor vs first-home-buyer trends
    • Auctions vs private sales
    • The biggest mistake buyers made this year
    • The one stat that matters most in 2026
    • Why focusing too much on interest rate forecasts can hold you back

    If property is on your radar, this is your end-of-year market wrap, minus the hype and full of practical insight.

  • Why Everything Feels Expensive: The RBA Chief Economist Breaks It Down
    Dec 15 2025

    Struggling to understand why groceries, rent and bills feel so expensive right now? You’re not alone and in this episode, we break it all down in plain English.

    Molly sits down with Sarah Hunter, Chief Economist and Assistant Governor (Economic) at the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), to demystify inflation, interest rates and what’s actually happening in the Australian economy.

    Together, they unpack:
    ✨ What inflation really means (and why it’s not as simple as “prices going down”)
    ✨ What’s inside the CPI “basket” and why it never feels like the average fits your life
    ✨ Why the RBA targets 2–3 percent inflation
    ✨ How interest rates are set and who actually sets them
    ✨ How inflation affects your mortgage, savings and everyday budget
    ✨ Why global events like wars and supply shocks hit your hip pocket
    ✨ What to expect for inflation and the economy heading into 2026
    ✨ Practical steps you can take to prepare for rising costs

    If you’ve ever wondered:
    “Why is everything getting more expensive?”
    “What does the RBA actually do?”
    “Should I be worried about inflation?”

    …this episode is your go-to explainer. No jargon. No doom and gloom. Just clarity.

    🎧 Listen now and finally understand inflation in a way that makes sense for real life.

    If you totally missed Economics 101 at school (same 🙋‍♀️), then you’re going to love this week’s episode of Get Rich.

  • A Year Without Shopping: What Emma Edwards Learned About Money, Confidence & Clothes
    Dec 1 2025

    “I have nothing to wear.”
    Sound familiar?

    In this episode of Get Rich, Molly sits down with fan-favourite guest Emma Edwards (The Broke Generation) to unpack why so many of us overspend on clothes, still feel like we have nothing to wear, and how our wardrobes are deeply connected to confidence, identity and money.

    Emma recently completed a full year without clothes shopping — no new, no second-hand, no rentals — an experiment that completely transformed her self-esteem, spending habits and style.

    Together, Molly and Emma dive into:
    ✨ Why we keep buying clothes we don’t wear
    ✨ The $6,000 realisation: how much we actually spend
    ✨ The “fantasy self” hiding in your wardrobe
    ✨ What shopping has to do with body image
    ✨ How stopping shopping improved Emma’s confidence
    ✨ How to cut back on buying clothes without going cold-turkey
    ✨ Why we overspend on our kids’ wardrobes
    ✨ How to build a wardrobe you actually love

    If you want to spend less, feel better in your clothes, and stop the endless “nothing to wear” spiral… this episode will change the way you shop forever.
