Most people have strong opinions about rich people. They think the wealthy are lucky. Or greedy. Or born into privilege. Or somehow wired differently. But here's the problem… if you believe any of that, there's a good chance you'll never build real wealth yourself. Because those stories aren't just wrong – they're dangerous. Today, Tom Corley and I discuss the common myths surrounding wealth and the psychology of successful individuals. We discuss the importance of mindset, the role of luck, and the common misconceptions about intelligence and income. We explain that wealth is not solely determined by high income or intelligence, but rather by behaviour, discipline, and the ability to learn from failure. Our conversation also highlights the lifestyle choices of wealthy individuals and the significance of self-education in achieving financial success. Takeaway
If you've been following the headlines, you'd be forgiven for thinking property markets rise and fall on the back of interest rates, government policy, or the latest migration numbers. But when you step back and look at what really drives long-term property performance, a different story starts to emerge. In fact, the biggest driver of property values isn't what most commentators focus on at all. In today's show I speak with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher about the real drivers of property markets. We explore why employment, not just population growth, is crucial for property value growth. Simon and I discuss how job quality and security influence housing demand and investment. We analyse the impact of demographic trends and local economies on property strategies.

The property market has just taken an interesting turn. After a strong run, we're now seeing signs that higher interest rates, affordability pressures and buyer uncertainty are starting to bite. But as always, the headline numbers don't tell the full story. Some markets are slowing, some are still showing resilience, and underneath it all we still have the same big issue: Australia simply isn't building enough homes for the people who need them. So today, Dr Andrew Wilson and I unpack what's really happening in our housing markets, what the latest end-of-month figures are telling us, and what this means for homeowners, investors and buyers as we move through the rest of the year. Because the real question isn't just whether prices have risen or fallen this month. It's whether this is a temporary pause, the start of a broader slowdown, or another example of Australia's property markets moving at different speeds. Join us as we delve into the data to help you navigate the complexities of the property market. Takeaways • Recent interest rate hikes have led to a temporary decline in property prices. • Australia's property market remains fragmented, with some regions showing resilience. • Media narratives can significantly influence consumer sentiment and market behavior. • Strategic investment decisions are crucial in navigating market cycles. • The cyclical nature of the market presents opportunities for savvy investors. • Understanding regional differences is key to making
It doesn't matter whether you own an investment property, whether you're renting, or whether you're desperately trying to buy your first home. This Federal Budget has just made your situation harder. If you're a tenant, rents are already punishing. Vacancy rates are near record lows, and there simply aren't enough rentals to go around. The tax changes will lightly push rents even higher. If you're trying to buy your first home, you're already fighting a market that has taken the average deposit savings time out to over 11 years. The budget does nothing to fix the supply shortage that is keeping prices out of reach. And if you're a property investor, the rules you planned around have just been rewritten mid-game. What connects all three groups is this: Australia has a housing crisis that is fundamentally a supply problem, and the government is responding with a tax policy that does nothing to build a single new home. In today's show, I speak with Senator Andrew Bragg, the Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness, who has been one of the most outspoken voices in Parliament on exactly this point. By the time you finish this episode, you'll understand why these negative gearing and capital gains tax changes are going to hurt renters, first-home buyers, and investors alike, and what a genuine housing solution actually needs to look like. Join us as we uncover strategies for navigating the current property market landscape. Takeaways • Australia's housing crisis is primarily due to a shortage of supply. • Recent budget changes may increase financial pressure on renters and buyers. <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; font
There's a strange thing that happens to many property investors. They'll spend hours worrying about tax, negative gearing, capital gains tax, trusts, land tax, and what the next government might change - yet they'll give far less thought to the quality of the asset they're buying, the level of debt they're taking on, or whether their portfolio is actually going to deliver the long-term returns they need. And that's dangerous, because saving tax on a poor investment is still a poor investment. In today's show I chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss about why investors who obsess over tax often miss the bigger picture. Now, let me be clear…tax matters. Structures matters. Getting advice matters. But tax is only one input into your investment system, and for many investors it's not the most important one. In fact, the drive to minimise tax can sometimes lead to decisions that cost far more than the tax they were trying to save. <span lang="EN-US" style= "font-size: 14.0pt; f
For decades we've celebrated rising house prices in Australia. If your home was worth more this year than last, life felt a bit easier. Politicians were happy, banks were happy, homeowners were happy. But after 50 years of almost uninterrupted price growth, we need to ask a harder question: Is it actually good for us if housing just keeps getting more expensive? The answer, of course, depends on who you are. Because rising prices have created a lot of winners in Australia: homeowners, investors, banks, governments, tradies, and retailers. But they've also created a growing group of losers – renters, younger Australians, essential workers, small businesses, and even the future middle class. So today leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the question question almost no one in property likes to touch – not "will housing prices keep rising?" but "how expensive do we actually want housing to be?" Takeaways House prices double every decade. Homeowners and banks benefit from rising values. First home buyers face hidden costs. Government policies sustain high prices. Demographics reshape housing market. <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0c
Australia has always promised that if you worked hard, took responsibility, invested wisely and built something for your family, you'd be encouraged - or at least not punished for doing so. But some of the recent Budget changes raise a very uncomfortable question: are we slowly dismantling that promise? Because buried behind the headlines, the political spin and the carefully chosen language are proposals that could reshape the way Australians build wealth, invest in property, use trusts, manage tax, fund retirement and pass something meaningful on to the next generation. And as always, the danger is that many people won't notice what's really happening until the rules have already changed. Now, I don't want you to panic, but today, Australia's leading property tax strategist Ken Raiss and I are going to discuss the implications of the recent Federal Budget. We delve into how these changes could reshape wealth-building strategies in Australia. Together, we explore the implications of tax reforms on property demand and affordability. We discuss the importance of strategic asset selection and the resilience of property as a long-term investment. Ken and I analyse the potential effects of inflation and interest rates on the property market. <span lang="EN-AU" style= "font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #1e1e1e; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm;
Australia's property markets are still rising, but the cracks are starting to show. Not the type of cracks that suggest a collapse, but the type that tell us the next stage of the cycle will reward careful, strategic investors and punish those chasing yesterday's hot spots. According to Domain's latest House Price Report, most capital cities reached new highs in the March quarter, but the pace of growth has slowed sharply since late last year. At the same time, Domain's Rental Report shows vacancy rates have fallen to a record low nationally, yet many renters simply can't afford to keep paying more. So we have a fascinating contradiction. There's still not enough housing and there are still plenty of buyers and tenants. But borrowing capacity and rental affordability are now acting like speed limits on the market. Today I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Domain's Chief of Research and Economics, to help us understand what's really going on beneath the headlines, what this means for buyers, sellers, tenants and investors, and where the opportunities and risks are likely to be in the next stage of the cycle. We explore how interest rate changes and government policies are influencing market trends and affordability. We discuss the regional variations in property performance and the implications for investors. And we analyse the impact of supply constraints and population growth on housing demand. <span lang="EN-US" style= "font-size: 14
