This week, we witnessed yet another triumph in the world of reality TV, this time on SBS's Alone, which saw 10 Aussie's dropped into the Tasmanian wilderness completely isolated, challenged to see how long they could survive. After multiple months, one contestant emerged victorious, claiming a cash reward of $250,000.  But, have you ever wondered what these reality show winners do with their prize money?  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to two former reality winners about the moment they saw the money hit their accounts and what they did with it.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

The cost of living crisis is really biting hard as we hit the 6 month mark of 2023.  Grocery prices, rents, interest rates, fuel prices...everything is going up and up and up.  For many Aussies, even those who are employed and earning a wage that, until recently, was able to cover their basic living costs, the current economic climate is stretching their budgets incredibly thin.  So amongst the doom and gloom from economists and financial experts, can anyone put a positive spin on the cost of living crisis?  In this episode of The Quicky we speak to money influencers to find out what they know that we don't about making the most of our money in 2023.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

In a noticeable trend of 2023, yet another man in a high-profile job has made the decision to step away. From football coaches to television hosts, politicians, and players, these men are choosing to step away over the relentless pursuit of professional success at the expense of their personal lives. Have men realised that they too can't have it all?  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the challenges facing Aussie men in 2023 as traditional gender roles continue to shift and evolve and the significance of these high-profile resignations and how they may pave the way for more men to seek a balance between their work and personal lives.

While many Aussies have grown accustomed to the comfort and convenience of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, some employers are now urging, or even demanding, their staff to return to the office.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the debate between returning to the office and embracing remote work. We look at why employers want us back at our desks, is it all about making sure that expensive real estate doesn't go to waste, or is there a real argument to getting us back amongst our colleagues?  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
