• START HERE: How to Use a Margin Loan WISELY: 7 Rules to Reduce Risk & Build Wealth

  In this empowering episode of Start Here, Canna answers a question from Cat — an inspiring investor who’s built an $80,000 portfolio and $4,200 of annual passive income in just three years. Cat is now ready to explore margin lending but wants to understand the risks and how to manage them wisely. Canna breaks down what a margin loan really is, why it can be risky, and seven proven strategies to reduce those risks — the same principles she uses in her own $1000 Project portfolio. You’ll learn how to set smart boundaries, protect your portfolio from volatility, and use leverage as a tool for long-term wealth creation rather than a ticking time bomb. In this episode, you’ll learn: What a margin loan actually is — and why leverage magnifies both gains and losses. The safe way to manage your Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR). How to stress-test your cashflow before borrowing. Why drawing down slowly and keeping an emergency buffer matters. How to use dividends and interest prepayment strategically. The power of diversification and long-term focus. When to seek professional advice and how to align margin lending with your financial goals. Key Quote: “A margin loan isn’t a shortcut — it’s an amplifier. It magnifies whatever discipline or impulsiveness you already have.” Mentioned Resources: The $1000 Project by Canna Campbell Motivated Money by Peter Thornhill ASIC Moneysmart: Margin Lending Basics Your own superannuation or investment platform’s “risk profile” questionnaire Disclaimer:This podcast provides general advice only and does not take into account your personal financial situation, goals, or needs.

• AI May Take Your Job… But Here’s My Financial Game Plan to Retire Rich

  In this special SugarMamma’s Fireplay episode — proudly supported by moomoo — I share my personal financial game plan to outsmart AI and build lasting financial independence. Everywhere we look, headlines warn that artificial intelligence is replacing jobs and reshaping industries. But what if, instead of fearing AI, we used it to our advantage — to invest smarter, build passive income, and retire richer and earlier? The moomoo app can be found here: https://start.moomoo.com/0tfLnT I’ll walk you through: Why relying on your salary is no longer enough in the age of AI. How to create passive income that pays you even while you sleep. My own step-by-step investing journey through The $1000 Project, which has grown to a $365,000 share portfolio generating over $16,000 a year in dividends. How AI-powered investing platforms like moomoo make it easier than ever to get started, stay informed and make better investing decisions. Why fractional investing and free AI tools are changing the game for everyday investors. And how you can start small — even with $10 — and build financial independence one investment at a time. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s been sitting on the sidelines. AI may take your job… but it doesn’t have to take your financial freedom. 💡 My Takeaway: AI is not the enemy — it’s an opportunity. If we use it wisely, AI can help us make smarter investing decisions and create the financial security that our jobs alone can’t guarantee. 📲 Resources Mentioned: Download the moomoo app https://https://start.moomoo.com/0tfLnT Learn more at www.moomoo.com/au Explore The $1000 Project via SugarMamma.TV 📝 Disclaimer: This episode is sponsored by moomoo.

• From FIFO to Financial Freedom: Lindsey’s Journey to $1.8 Million Net Worth

  In today’s episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I sit down with Lindsey — a wife, mother, and inspiring example of what’s possible when you combine courage, discipline, and vision. Back in 2008, Lindsey and her husband were both earning $55,000 a year. They dreamed of building a life together but didn’t want to be tied to a huge mortgage forever. So they took a leap of faith — leaving their stable jobs to work in the mines. What happened next changed everything. Over the years, Lindsey and her husband: Paid off two blocks of land while working FIFO. Saved $300,000 in cash to build their dream home. Subdivided their land, making smart property sales at the right time. Built their family home — now worth around $1.8 million — and became completely mortgage-free. Grew their superannuation balances to $250,000 each. Built an emergency fund, regular holiday savings, and a share portfolio they’re aiming to grow to $1 million in 20 years. And the best part? They did all this while raising two children, travelling, and enjoying their lives along the way. Lindsey opens up about the lessons, setbacks, and mindset shifts she’s experienced, and she shares advice for anyone who wants to create financial freedom on their own terms. This isn’t just a story about money — it’s about courage, clarity, and choosing a life that aligns with your values. If you’re looking for motivation and practical inspiration, this is one episode you don’t want to miss. 📲 Stay Connected Follow me on Instagram: @SugarMammaTV Lifestyle & capsule wardrobe inspo: @CannaCampbellofficial TikTok: @sugarmammatv YouTube: SugarMammaTV Check out my books: The $1000 Project → Buy here Mindful Money → Buy here Motivated Money by Peter Thornhill → Buy here Work with me: Budget & Cashflow Academy Money Mindset & Manifestation Coaching ⚠️ Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

• START HERE: Should You Switch Your Super to Growth or High Growth?

  If you’ve ever looked at your super and thought, “Am I in the right investment option?” — this episode is for you. One listener recently asked me:“Hi Canna, I’ve just realised I’m in the Balanced option with my super, but I don’t think this is right for me or my age group. Should I switch to Growth or High Growth?” It’s such a common question — and one that could have a huge impact on your financial future. But before making any changes, there are important things to understand. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: ✅ Why your super investment option matters more than you think. 🧠 How to work out your risk profile and why age isn’t the only factor. 💸 The hidden costs of switching options (like capital gains tax inside super). 🔍 What to check in your super fund itself — fees, investment menu, insurance, and retirement features. 📈 Why contributions matter just as much as investment choice. 🔄 How to review your super regularly so it stays aligned with your life. 👩‍💼 When and why to seek advice from a licensed financial planner. Most importantly, I’ll show you how to move from confusion and hesitation to confidence and clarity with your super — one of your most powerful long-term wealth-building tools. MUST LISTEN TO MY OTHER SUPERANNUATION EPISODES HERE: 🔑 Key Takeaway There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to Growth vs High Growth. What matters is understanding your risk tolerance, reviewing your fund’s competitiveness, and making thoughtful, informed decisions that align with your goals. 📲 Call to Action If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who might also be ignoring their super. And if you’ve got a money question you’d like me to cover in a future Start Here episode, DM me on Instagram — @SugarMammaTV or @CannaCampbellOfficial. ⚖️ Additional General Advice Warning While we discuss financial topics, everything shared here is general information only — never personal, product, or investment advice.
