Fear & Greed is proud to share an episode of our sister podcast - How Do They Afford That? - out every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.

There's been a major change to the way investments will be taxed in Australia. But there's one very important asset that retains a significant tax advantage - your family home. Join Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson as they ask the question: if investing elsewhere becomes less attractive from a tax perspective, does it make more sense to improve the asset you already live in?

Canna and Michael's new book is available now! Pick up your copy of Twelve Months to Financial Freedom at Big W, bookshops or online.
