In this episode, Hazel explores the concept that saving alone is not a viable path to wealth, especially in the context of low interest rates and currency debasement. Drawing on personal experiences and statistics, the discussion emphasises the importance of investing in well-performing assets, such as property and cryptocurrencies, to outpace inflation and grow wealth over time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Saving Alone is Insufficient for Wealth: Simply saving money in a bank account is not enough to build wealth, especially given low interest rates and the impact of inflation and currency debasement.
• Understanding Inflation and Currency Debasement: To maintain the value of savings, one must save at least 11% annually to counteract the effects of currency debasement and inflation, which can significantly erode purchasing power.
• Investing in Assets: Investing in well-performing assets, such as property or stocks, can yield much higher returns compared to traditional savings methods. Historical data shows that certain assets, like UK house prices and Bitcoin, have significantly outperformed savings accounts.
• The Importance of Time and Patience: Long-term investment strategies, such as compounding returns, can lead to substantial wealth accumulation over time. The story of a janitor who amassed $8 million through frugality and smart investing illustrates this principle.
• Choosing the Right Financial Guidance: While working with financial advisors can be beneficial, it’s crucial to select them carefully, as not all advisors prioritize their clients' best interests. Understanding where and how to invest is essential for financial success.

ABOUT THE HOST

Having started her career as a professional, classical musician, Hazel de Kloe also had a personal quest to become financially free.

She and her husband built a successful, multi-million-pound property business, next to their own careers, but soon realised that true freedom doesn’t JUST come from being financially independent…

Having meant so much to her family, it has been her passion ever since, to inspire, educate and empower others on their journeys towards this 'Holy Grail'.

During one particular property mentoring session back in 2009, she had a powerful recognition of exactly how to facilitate this. Nicknamed now, The Wealth Whisperer, she has a unique way of getting to the crux of what is needed to help fulfil this quest.
