It’s the Australian dream, right? A spouse or partner, two kids, a house in the ‘burbs with a yard, with prawns cooking on the barbie. Maybe that idyllic picture isn’t for everyone, but for those who do want it -  prices are pushing the property dream further and further out of reach. Plenty of young Aussies are looking at their bank balances, and thinking, 'How am I ever going to scrape together a deposit without a second income to cushion the blow?'

In this episode, Zoe and Carmel look at the challenges in place to buy a house, whether you’re single or loved up. They hear from our wider community about their experiences buying their first house, talk about their different perspectives, before interviewing John Fisher, who runs a Mortgage Broking Business in Sydney. He talks about the options available to you, the things to be aware of when accepting monetary gifts for homes, and the other hidden costs you need to be aware of when preparing to buy your first home.

So, it’s no secret that here at MPL, we believe the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make is who you spend the rest of your life with… So while we've spent a lot of time speaking about what to do after you meet your partner, we haven’t addressed how you find that special someone.

This week we talk to Samantha Jayne of the Husband project about what it’s like in the dating world these days. We address dating apps, types of lovers out there and the awkwardness about how do you decide who pays on the first date and how do men and women view this differently? 

Carmel and Zoe also talk to two single friends who are out there, in the single market - Dave, and their friend Georgia of the Sh*t Dates podcast. Both give their perspectives on the different aspects of dating!
