In Episode 8 of the Steak Dinner Podcast, Josh and Kieran keep the rebuild series rolling with the next four pillars:

• Investing basics — from ETFs and shares to property and super funds.

• Insurance & estate planning — why most Aussies are underinsured and why half of us die without a will.

• Tracking your net worth — simple spreadsheets, free tools, and budgeting hacks that actually work.

• Mental bandwidth & support — GP mental health plans, EAPs, men’s sheds, mateship, and community groups.

We also share some listener feedback on “investing in what can’t be split,” swap a few stories (including a $6,000 French poodle disaster), and remind blokes that rebuilding after separation—or any major life event—isn’t just about money.

👉 This one’s packed with practical resources, plain-English tips, and a few laughs along the way.
