What if your late 20s are more than just another birthday?

In this episode of M.A.E. Chats, we dive into the idea of the Saturn Return—the life phase that supposedly forces you to confront the areas you've been avoiding. Whether or not you believe in astrology, the concept sparked a bigger conversation about money, financial literacy, savings, spending, and the financial wake-up calls many of us experience in our 20s.

We chat about:

✨ The Saturn Return phenomenon and why it made us rethink our finances

✨ Learning financial literacy later in life

✨ High-interest savings accounts, budgeting, and investing

✨ Living at home in your 20s and the advantages it can provide

✨ Balancing saving for the future with actually enjoying your life

✨ Our biggest financial mistakes (looking at you, five pairs of Aritzia pants 👀)

✨ Working extra jobs to fund travel and big experiences

✨ The realities of money, taxes, and adulthood nobody teaches you in school

✨ Why spending on your values matters more than chasing perfection

From luxury-resort stories and London travel plans to Chipotle kids' meals and endless debates over whether it's "return" or "return" (you'll see), this episode is a candid conversation about navigating money, ambition, and growing up.

If you're in your 20s and trying to figure out how to balance saving, spending, and building the life you want, this one's for you.
