How They Get You

Ever wonder why your money disappears? Chris Kohler has the answers LIVE.

Join Finance Editor and Journalist Chris Kohler for an eye-opening live event all wrapped up with humour and real-world insight, that unpacks the stories behind the dollars.

Based on his brand-new book How They Get You: Sneaky Everyday Economics and Smart Ways to Hold on to Your Money, Chris lifts the lid on the hidden tricks, traps, and psychology that shape how we spend, save, and get sold to, from supermarket pricing games, loyalty schemes, late fees and so much more. He reveals the clever systems designed to make us part with our cash—and how to spot the spin, take control of your finances, and keep more money where it belongs—in your pocket.

He’ll be live in conversation with very special guest Mark Humphries — satirist, comedian, and broadcaster best known for his viral political sketches on ABC’s 7.30 and SBS’s The Feed.  Whether you’re a savvy saver or serial spender, this is your chance to learn how to beat “them” at their own game. Learn from Kohler’s hard-won insights while laughing at the absurdity of a system rigged against you.
