Planning for a family with Ryan Watson
12/23/24 • 21 min
Starting a family is one of those life-changing decisions. Nothing can match it. But like any big decision – and they don’t get much bigger – you need to go into it with your eyes fully wide open. Especially when it comes to your finances. Did we mention that estimates for raising a child to 18 years of age range anywhere between $160K to $549K?
In this must-listen podcast for new parents, Steph and Ryan take you through all the ins and outs of planning financially for a family to make sure you’re in the best possible position to enjoy your new baby... without the money stress.
Things like when is the best time to take stock of your finances? What leave entitlements or schemes are available to you, and how does that work with your superannuation? How important is getting control of your cashflow as a new parent? And what are the proactive ways you can build up savings such as education or investment bonds?
There’s so much to think about if you’re having children. This episode is a great resource to help you get your finances in line before things get hectic... and your sleep goes out the window. Trust us on that one.
Here’s to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.

Festive spending with Ryan Watson
It’s the most wonderful time of the year again – the festive season. Although you can also call it the spending season; with the likes of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and countless other sales making it far more easier to give, give and keep on giving. And that’s not even talking about fitting in all the family and work celebrations.
So how do you keep your spending from blowing out so the only thing you have to worry about on Christmas Day is getting that nap in on the couch after eating way to much at lunch!
Answering this Christmas conundrum is our co-host Ryan Watson, who digs deep into his bag of festive spending tips help us all out. Tips like setting realistic financial goals at the outset, considering experience gifts such as cooking a special meal or babysitting, providing a meaningful donation instead of an item (that also has the added benefit of a tax deduction), or looking at family-wide agreements like Kris Kringle for adults or kids-only gift giving.
By putting some of these great insights into action, you’ll be able to have your (Christmas) cake and eat it too knowing your spending is under control and you can fully enjoy everything this time of year brings.

Money marathon with Ben Jongebloed
“It’s a marathon not a sprint.” You’ve no doubt heard this term and probably said it yourself, especially if you follow a sporting team that’s started off the season slowly and you’re hoping they’ll build momentum. So what has this got to do with a financial podcast? Plenty.
Tribeca’s Ben Jongebloed is known as the Marathon Man in the office, having completed five with more to come. But it wasn’t until he got serious about his running and started working with a coach that he realised the parallels with his marathon journey and his role as a Senior Advisor at Tribeca.
In this energetic chat with Ryan and Steph, Ben runs through (pardon the pun) the similarities between the coach-athlete and adviser-client relationship, from putting plans in place to achieve your goals and adjusting when needed, keeping you accountable and supported when things get challenging, and helping you stay motivated and on track.
You’re sure to come away feeling empowered to strive for your personal best, whether that’s with your finances or in work/personal life. It may even inspire you to put on your running shoes!
