Summary
This week’s Friday Drinks starts off fun… and ends in absolute chaos. Because what do you do when you get headhunted and try to negotiate your salary, only for it to completely backfire? Job offer gone. Pay rise denied. And now you’re stuck wondering if being honest at work just worked against you. We definitely had some opinions. As always, we also unpack a DM from someone in our community who found themselves in exactly that situation, and it opens up a bigger conversation about loyalty, transparency, and knowing your worth. Because in theory, you did everything ‘right’ but the outcome says otherwise. Before we spiral (in a productive way), we also get into a Money Dilemma that feels very relatable if you’ve ever dipped your toe into investing. What happens when you realise you might be doubling up on ETFs? Same underlying investments, different funds, and suddenly you’re questioning everything. We break down what’s actually going on there, what “hedged” really means, and whether this is something you need to fix or just part of the learning curve. There’s also the usual Friday Drinks chaos. Jess shares Money Wins that prove the small things really do add up, Bec’s got Broke Tips that are equal parts clever and questionable, and a conversation about what we’d all do if money genuinely didn’t matter, which tells you more about us than it probably should. If you’ve ever second-guessed a money decision, questioned your job, or wondered if you played something wrong, this one’s going to feel all too familiar.
