How is our newbie investor doing? Public declarations & the greatest untold secret… | with Chloe from the YIGC community

HOSTS Maddy Guest & Sophie Dicker|8 June, 2021

What happens when you go on a podcast and announce to the listeners that you will begin investing? You don’t really have a choice except to start! On this week’s episode, we check-in with our newbie investor Chloe. We hear about her journey so far; from her self-described nanna-investing, to the moment she thought about chucking her day job in and becoming a Wall St trader. Chloe has some serious pearls of wisdom to share in this episode, and then we answer her burning questions, as well as hearing from you, our YIGC community. 

Keep track of Sophie and Maddy between the episodes on Instagram for behind the scenes shots and tidbits, and come and be part of the conversation on Facebook with our You’re In Good Company Discussion Group. Got a question or a topic suggestion? Email us here

  • Maddy Guest

    Maddy Guest

    Maddy lives in Melbourne, works in finance, but had no idea about investing until she started recently. Her favourite things to do are watching the Hawks play on weekends, reading books, and she says she's happiest, 'when eating pasta with a glass of wine'. Maddy began her investing journey when she started earning a full time income and found myself reading about the benefits of compound interest in the Barefoot Investor. Her mind was blown, and she started just before the pandemic crash in 2020. What's her investing goal? To be financially independent for the rest of her life, and make decisions without being overly stressed about money.

    Sophie Dicker

    Sophie lives in Melbourne, and enjoys playing sport, and then drinking red wine immediately after finishing sport. She works in finance, but honestly had no idea about investing until her partner encouraged her to start. She says, 'my interest has only taken off from there - I find it exciting… I mean who doesn’t like watching their money grow?' Her investing goal is to build the freedom to do things that she's passionate about - whether it be start a business, donate to causes close to her, or to take time out of the workforce to start a family. Right now, there’s no specific goal, she just wants to have the freedom when she'll need it.
