Investing doesn’t have to be complicated, but with endless opinions, market noise and thousands of investment options competing for your attention, it’s easy to spend more time researching what to buy than actually building a plan you can stick to.
In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy sits down with investor, author and market commentator Scott Phillips to unpack his new book, The One Page Investing Plan, a refreshingly simple framework for making better investment decisions.
Scott challenges the idea that complexity equals sophistication and explains why the best investment plan is often the one simple enough to survive real life, market falls and our own behaviour.
From knowing what “enough” looks like to building buffers, automating your investing and giving different assets a specific job, this is a practical conversation about turning investment theory into a system you can actually follow.
In this episode you’ll discover:
Why “what should I buy?” is the wrong place to start
Why “enough” should come before the asset
The key ingredients of a simple, sustainable investing system
How shares, ETFs, property, super, cash and business interests can work together
Why starting ugly and learning cheap can beat waiting for perfection
The difference between an ETF wrapper and genuinely broad, low-cost diversification
Why maximising after-tax returns matters more than simply minimising tax
How to write your investment rules before fear, FOMO or a market crash takes control
Why checking your portfolio constantly can do more harm than good
The importance of separating your emergency fund from your investing account
The one low-friction action you can take in the next seven days to get started
If investing has started to feel unnecessarily complicated, this conversation with Scott Phillips is a timely reminder that a great plan doesn’t need to fill a spreadsheet.
Sometimes, the best investment plan really can fit on one page.
