What Is a *Good* Financial Planner?

Past Ep - Making Housing More Affordable

Past Ep - The Blessing and Curse of Inheritance

Past Ep - Mastering Money Mindset: Balancing Logic and Emotion

Key Takeaways:


Changing Conversation on Housing: In Australia, perceptions and discussions have drastically changed, necessitating a new approach to homeownership versus renting.


"Rent money is dead money"????: Challenging long-held beliefs, renting can offer significant financial benefits, such as lower costs and greater flexibility.


Buying Costs: The interest part of mortgages is equivalent to 'dead money,' similar to rent, a reality many overlook when evaluating homeownership.


Investment Alternatives: With the high costs associated with buying property, exploring alternative investment options and savings strategies is crucial.


Future of Housing: The solution to the housing crisis lies in building more homes, rethinking government policies, and adapting to demographic changes and economic demands.

Notable Quotes:


Ben McEachen: "What has happened to the Australian dream of owning your own home?"


Pete Burrows: "Interest on your home loan is just the price of renting money off the bank."


Ben McEachen: "Renting was something you did as a stepping stone towards buying your own house. That's totally changed now."


Pete Burrows: "If parents were going to help you, it would have been to help you get into a house, but now we need to rethink our priorities."

The profound sense of relief and emotional uplift that comes from financial independence and being debt-free.


Incorporating biblical principles into financial planning to promote long-term stability and generosity.

Notable Quotes:


Glenn Solway: "Severe discipline now is empathy with your future self."


Glenn Solway: "Money is a great servant, but a terrible master."


Glenn Solway: "I'm now more generous than I ever was because I can give out of the surplus."


Glenn Solway: "If I don't have the money to buy something, I don't buy it. I save money, and then I use the money I've saved to buy that cash, and I own it."
