Everyone wants to know the best investment. They're asking the wrong question.

In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin moves deeper into the Approach stage of his Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock to challenge one of the biggest myths in investing: that there's a single asset class that wins every time.

Whether it's property, shares, business, super or alternatives, the real question isn't "Which investment is best?" It's "What job does this investment need to perform for my life—and can I realistically own it?"

Bushy introduces a simple roadworthy test for every investment using his G.E.A.R.S.E.T., S.N.I.F.F. and BUSH-IDO frameworks. Together, they help you assess not just the investment itself, but whether it genuinely fits your finances, lifestyle, knowledge, risk tolerance and long-term goals.

You'll also discover why borrowing capacity isn't holding capacity, why time is one of the most overlooked investment costs, and why the best investment on paper can still be the wrong investment for you.

This episode also sets the scene for next week's conversation with Kate Hill and Alex Dutt, where Bushy applies this same framework to turnkey new-build property investing.

In this episode you'll discover:


Why there is no universally "best" investment—only the right investment for your goals and stage of life.


Why destination comes before vehicle, and fit comes before fashion.


The three-part roadworthy test every investment should pass before you commit.


Why bank approval is not the same as true affordability.


The hidden cost that catches more investors than interest rates or tax.


Why tax should support a sound investment—not become the reason for making one.


Why "Specify before you diversify" is one of the smartest investing principles you'll ever apply.


How to build an investment strategy that evolves as your life evolves.

"You don't invest in what wins the argument. You invest in what wins your freedom."

Ready to build wealth with a proven, step-by-step framework?

Explore Bushy's complete Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Program and discover how to create an investment strategy that's designed around your life, not someone else's.
