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."
