Financial Autonomy

By: Financial Independence for Australians
  • Summary

  • Plenty of books, podcasts and blogs focus on building wealth – and that’s great, as far as it goes. But focusing just on wealth misses the point. I believe what most of us actually want is to have choice. Choice in how much time we give to income-producing activities. Choice about what those income-producing activities are. Choice about where we live. Choice about when we retire. Choice about the ways we use our money to produce happiness. In the Financial Autonomy podcast, I explore the different ways you can gain choice - from investing in stocks to becoming self-employed, starting a side hustle, or buying an investment property. I share learnings I've gained working with clients for over 20 years as a Certified Financial Planner, and interview others with interesting insights or experiences in gaining choice in life.

  • Melbourne to Manhattan: A Podcast Pause for a City Change
    Feb 28 2024

    I started this podcast in 2017 with the desire to put myself out there on what I felt was important in money management and wealth creation, gaining choice. My hope was that in putting that message out into the world, in time I'd attract people to our Financial Planning practice who shared this worldview. It took a while but I'm very pleased that this did indeed work.

    Why am I taking a break now? There's a few factors.

  • Am I Too Old to Achieve Financial Autonomy?
    Feb 21 2024

    It's not uncommon I find, for people to arrive at the desire to achieve Financial Autonomy in their 40s or 50s. Particularly for those with kids, until this point in life it's largely just been survival mode. Money in equals money out. First it's saving a deposit for a home, then it's getting the mortgage under control. Usually either the first home isn't the forever home, or else renovations and improvements are required. Then you've got the costs of raising children.

    Layer on top this is the potential for divorce, and it's not uncommon for me to have people reach out wanting to achieve financial security but worried that it's too late for them.

    If you’re worried that it might be too late for you build wealth and achieve financial security, this episode is for you.
