In this Australian Finance Podcast episode, your host Gemma Mitchell is joined by one of our very own community members who is also a Pocketsmith Super-User.  Andrew takes us through how he uses the personal finance software and how it's so much more than a budgeting tool. But don't worry, this isn't just a sales pitch for Pocketsmith (who is a sponsor and we love!) they also talk about money hacks, other ways to budget, the power of tracking net worth and why every couple needs a household CEO & a CFO (and what that actually means for your household money!).
