25.01.2022 "You never step in the same river twice" Heraclitus. To succeed we must be prepared to adapt.

24.01.2022 My current article in the Fairfax press:

23.01.2022 Episode 115 FIRE is stupid here’s some better alternatives. You’ve probably stumbled across the FIRE acronym before it stands for Financial Independence R...etire Early. It came out of the US and has spawned countless books, podcasts, conferences, and even a movie. Reddit has huge discussion threads devoted to the idea, with the primary thrust seeming to be how young you can achieve early retirement. Now I’m well on board with the first part of FIRE Financial Independence. But it’s the second part Retire Early, that I have a problem with (as do many within the FIRE community itself). Financial Independence grants you choice. Choice in how you spend your time, how much of your time you devote to income generating activities, and what sort of income generating activities you do. Having gained that choice, why on earth would you want to retire? A primary life goal is to achieve happiness. Whilst there are some common sources of happiness such as social connectedness and making progress towards meaningful goals, at the micro level, each of us derives happiness in our own unique way.

18.01.2022 The Retirement Coach - Jon Glass - Episode 132 This week I chat with retirement coach Jon Glass. Jon talks about the emotional event that occurs when we retire.... He explains his analogy of crossing a bridge from salary earning and quite fixed in our weekly activities to having freedom and flexibility. Jon helps people create a new phase of life. Jon has found that most people like to get up in the morning and have some plans for the day. He talks about the different things he and his clients have gotten themselves involved in. I hope you find it valuable. Read and Listen here: http://ow.ly/BDPU30qgJw4

16.01.2022 5 Most Impactful Ways to Invest in Yourself (that wont cost you a fortune) - Episode 29 Right now you’re listening to this podcast, or reading the blog article.... Why? You’re curious, and have a thirst for knowledge. You want to learn new things. You want to improve yourself. We usually think of investment as being a financial thing. But investing in yourself your skills, knowledge, and health, can be just as important and impactful. And just like a financial investment, diversification pays.

13.01.2022 I’m talking private health insurance with Hilary Harper on ABC RN this morning. As costs keep rising does private health insurance still make sense?

13.01.2022 I was asked yesterday whether blogging was still a viable way to make money. It caused me to revisit an interview I did with Sharon Gourlay - episode 41: "Making money from blogging is tough. Many try, most fail. Yet Sharon Gourlay, who I spoke to in episode 41 of the podcast is someone who has managed to crack the code.... She’d blogged for a long time, recording her travels pre-kids. But no-one was reading except maybe her mum! In 2013 she’d reached a bit of a low point in her life. She was a stay at home mum. She and her husband were constantly working hard, and yet they were only just keeping their head above water. She decided she wanted to start an online business and blogging was the vehicle that she’d use. Sharon described her goal as having choices, having freedom, living our lives how we want, where we want. " Even if blogging isn't the pathway you want to take, Sharon's journey in building an online business is hugely insightful. Give it a listen - episode 41 of the Financial Autonomy podcast.http://ow.ly/mpCx50yhhfb

06.01.2022 Episode 113 - 3 Alternatives To Car Ownership That Can Help You Save How many thousands of dollars do you have parked on the street or in the garage losing m...oney every day? It’s a question I’ve been focused on for our household recently. My wife and I each have a car, plus there is a 12 seater minibus for my wife’s tourism business that we could use for a personal trip in a pinch. I reckon we’ve got about $70,000 of vehicles sitting on the street, slowly degrading, and all the while costing us money in servicing, petrol, tyres, insurance, and registration. Surely there’s a financially smarter way of getting around! Read and Listen here: http://ow.ly/mGSr30pDNx0

Moving to self-employment is definitely a pathway to gaining choice in life, so if it’s an option you are considering, I know you’ll get a tonne out of this episode.
