How Much Does HECS Really Affect Your Borrowing Capacity? And Handling Your Parents Bad Financial Decisions

We’ve all heard HECS is a deal-breaker for your borrowing capacity… but is it really the villain it's made out to be? We’ve got the tea on how much your HECS actually matters when you’re trying to get a loan... and let’s just say, the maths might surprise you. And because Fridays love a little family drama, we’re also talking about the stress of parents making very questionable financial moves. Do you bite your tongue, or pull out the calculator and stage an intervention? We’ve got thoughts. Plus, the classics: money wins worth stealing, broke tips that actually deliver, and a sprinkle of financial chaos to make you feel seen.
