Financial Autonomy

Guidance Financial Services: Investing & Retirement Planning Experts

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

First Home Super Saver Scheme – should I care?...

Financial Autonomy ·

2018/02/21

We all know that property prices in Australia have gone stupid in recent years. One significant consequence of that has been that first home buyers have found it increasingly difficult to enter the property market. Banks like to see at least a 10% deposit, and in the ideal world you’d have a 20% deposit to avoid mortgage insurance costs. But when a first home can often cost north of half a million dollars, saving a deposit of that size can be really challenging, especially if you have rent to

The goal when working towards Financial Autonomy is to gain choice. Choice in how you support yourself and perhaps your family financially, be that the type of work you do, the hours you spend doing that work, or whether you earn that income as an employee, or as a self-employed person. In developing an actionable plan to get you from where you are now, to your Financial Autonomy position, there are several foundational elements that you need to decide upon. Perhaps the most fundamental of these

In the interview I did with Adam Murray in episode 20, he spoke about how he reduced his expenses in a significant way when he worked through his employment transition and gap year. And you might recall, he found living on less made him more happy, not less. Another key element in your financial independence plan is to have a financial buffer, an emergency fund, to get you through the unexpected. Perhaps you already have this, but if not, you want to build this up. Everyone’s needs are

Financial Autonomy ·

2017/12/26

Way back in 1996 I bought my first home. It was a two bedroom flat in a very ugly brown brick building, probably built in the 70’s with nothing done since. It wasn’t flash but it was within my budget and in a good location close to town – Kew for the Melbournites. I paid $107,000. Now I know that for those looking to buy their first home, $107,000 is probably pretty sickening right now, but 20 odd years ago that was the going rate. 4 years later and I’d meet my now wife, and it was time to move

The goal of early retirement is one many Australians aspire too. And certainly, when thinking about achieving Financial Autonomy, retiring early is very often baked into those goals. But what is the best way to bring that goal to reality, given the uniqueness of our system – superannuation, franking credits, negative gearing, and means tested Aged Pensions, just to get you started. The approach I’m going to take you through today is a multi-phase approach that I’ve built specifically for the

What do Apple, Nike, Under Armour, Instagram, and Groupon all have in common? It’s not just that they’re hugely successful, multibillion dollar companies. They also share a common birth – they all started life as side projects of their founders. I’ve been reading Nike founder Phil Knight’s autobiography Shoe Dog recently, and I highly recommend it – very readable and interesting. He was working as an accountant at Price Waterhouse whilst establishing what we now know as Nike, and when he needed

There’s a template that all Australian’s are meant to follow. Study, enter the workforce, buy a house, raise kids, pay off a mortgage, retire. It’s served us pretty well for the past 100 years or so, so you know the saying about if it ain’t broke… But for an increasing number of Australian’s this model is broken. The original spark that started me on this Financial Autonomy journey was the realisation that the path from studying until around your early 20’s, then working in paid employment for the

How hard is it to get started? I’m sure we’ve all had things that either need to be done, or that we’d like to do, but we put them off – shift them to the bottom of the pile or check out our Facebook feed instead. Procrastination is evil, and it afflicts us all at some point or another.
