39. Unwrapped - TMI? Should you be sharing personal finance problems online? - a podcast by Tom Watson and Olivia Gee

Hello, and welcome to the very last episode of The Finance Burritos unwrapped digital season, and boy oh boy do we have some delicious content for you to devour.

The flavour of today's episode is online personal finance communities, taking a deep dive into the recent growth of social media and forum pages as a tool for young Aussies to better manage their finances.

Liv and Tom discuss the role these communities are playing in increasing younger generations' financial literacy, and the pitfalls they can entail. To help the duo unpack further, not one, but two special guests join the show.

Senior lecturer from RMIT, Dr. Angel Zhong, shares her research into why these communities are becoming so popular, and how to stay safe when using them. Then, Flux Finance co-founder and fellow podcaster, Justin Joffe, explains how Flux is using social media as a fun and interactive platform to educate young people in all things finance.
