Plenty of podcasts 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.Paul Benson Desarrollo Personal Economía Finanzas Personales Éxito Personal

    The Property Buying Playbook That Could Save You Thousands
    Mar 31 2026
    Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make… and most people are just kind of winging it. You're going to inspections, watching prices, trying to read between the lines on listings, and still not sure if something's actually good value or if you're about to overpay. So this week, Nick sits down with buyer's advocate Mel Dennis to break down what actually matters when you're buying property. They unpack how to work out what a property is really worth, the mistakes buyers don't realise they're making until it's too late, and how to handle the negotiation so you don't end up paying more than you needed to. If you're in the market, or even just starting to think about it, this gives you a clear approach so you can make the call and buy with confidence. Inside this episode: Why doing your research still doesn't guarantee you won't overpay The three things you're always balancing when you buy, and how to prioritise them How to actually work out what a property is worth (not just what it's listed for) The due diligence most buyers think they've done… but haven't What experienced buyers look at that others don't How negotiations really work (and where people end up paying more) Why some properties grow in value... and others don't WANT TO STAY ACROSS WHAT'S MOVING THE MARKETS?: Subscribe to GainingCHOICE, our weekly email unpacking the key headlines and what to pay attention to.
