She’s fifty and fabulous but is she financially secure? With half a century behind her, our fictional friend Anna has made a lot of life choices. Or more accurately, we have. We collectively made life choices on Anna’s behalf via social media polls (you can play along here). And we’ve done so in the spirit of learning how our decisions, big and small, shape our financial future. So, where have we landed our imaginary heroine, as she steps into her 50s?

Growing up, I assumed there was only one way of doing things in a family with kids. One partner would have the Big Job, likely evidenced by their expensive suits, a full briefcase, and a colour-coded Outlook calendar.

Forty. It’s traditionally an age to take stock, recalibrate and, according to many women currently enjoying or fondly reflecting on this decade, time to start caring less about what others think. Why? Because you’ll want to save those cares for yourself, as you set yourself up for the second half of your career, and life in retirement. Which is exactly what we’re trying to do for our friend, Anna. You’ll recall that Anna is a fictional woman, now entering mid-life.

The stock-standard Australian, according to recent census data, is a woman in her 30s, with kids, living on a combined family income of $3000 a week. Does this sound like you? It could sound like Anna. If you’re yet to be acquainted, Anna is our avatar in a game of life we’ve got going amongst our FW community. She’s a fictional woman, rapidly ageing from 20-70 and, as she faces common life crossroads, we – yes, as in you and me, and FW’s online community – are calling the shots.

Have you met Anna? Think of her as your avatar in the game of life. A woman who’ll age from 20 to 70 in five weeks flat. A woman who’ll face common crossroads that will shape her financial future. Big crossroads, like whether or not to have kids. And smaller ones, like whether or not to buy a weekly takeaway coffee. By the power of social media polls, we – the FW community – are collectively guiding Anna through each decision.

Hey @broadwaycom! My 9 y/o son + I are musical theatre nerds. We’re in the US for ten days and have Lion King tickets tonight but he is unwell. We’re devastated and hoping we might be able to come early next week instead. I’ve put in a request online. Anything else I can do?
It was going to take a lot to get me back on this redundant platform but here we are. I understand today’s sport is going @vanbadham for being a wildly successful dramaturg who is simultaneously funny, poignant + politically incisive. Makes sense. Honestly, get a grip people.
Oh beautiful Cal. I can’t quite believe that someone so full of life and light can be gone. A truly excellent specimen of human being. I will miss her.
