We're back for round two with Deline from Mazi Wealth, and this time we're diving even deeper into the money talk! In our first episode with Deline, she gave us the lowdown on budgeting, building an emergency fund, and tackling debt. Today, we’re levelling up and chatting about the big stuff: insurance, superannuation, estate planning, and investing. Deline walks us through why insurance is your financial safety net (and why you need it), how to make the most of your super, and why estate planning isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. Plus, she shares tips on getting started with investing, balancing risk and reward, and why spreading your money around is key. And of course, we kick things off with our favourite segment, ‘The Best Thing We Ate This Week,’ where we discovered something that made us love Deline even more!Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al!
