Financial Autonomy

Guidance Financial Services

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

Where a Passive Income Goal Might Lead you Awry

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/08/16

Within the financial independence community, the concept of passive income frequently gets a lot of attention. Sometimes though, I find that its overemphasis leads to poor strategy decisions. So this week I wanted to explore where a passive income goal has the potential to lead you awry. [Disclaimer] [Website]

Should I Invest or Leave My Money in Offset

With mortgage rates having leapt up this past year, the effective return savers receive by parking their money in an offset account is looking increasingly attractive. This has led to a question we're being asked more and more. Should I invest or just leave my money in the offset account? [Disclaimer] [Website]

Could you be over-saving?

2023/06/28

Saving requires forgoing spending today for benefits in the future. Whilst it’s clear that financially, to live entirely in the present with no allowance for the future is unwise, there is the potential to go too far the other way. But how do you know what the right balance is? [Disclaimer] [Website]

Fitting Career Breaks Into a Financial Independence Plan

A while back I put a call out in the GainCHOICE email asking for readers to reach out if they had a story to share about taking a career break or making a career transition. Several people came back to me, so over the next few months we’ll have a few interviews around this topic. This week is the first of these. I’m chatting with Brenda today, who is in the early stages of a 6-9 month sabbatical. We talk about her Financial independence journey and how she aligns that with her goal to visit every

Should I top-up my super?

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/06/14

This week’s episode is another one inspired by a recent client question, one that we get asked multiple times each year. Should I be topping up my super? The primary motivation in seeking out an answer to this question is to determine whether you're on track to have enough retirement savings for a comfortable and enjoyable later phase of life. But the other element is around tax. There's a general awareness that there are tax savings to be had through using the superannuation system. The unsaid

Redundancy. With the Australian economy slowing as the impact of higher interest rates begins to bite, job cuts are likely to accelerate. Layer on top of this the potential impact that artificial intelligence might have on the white-collar workforce of the future, and it's easy to understand why many people are feeling anxious about their employment future. I've found that when I'm feeling anxious, the best way to relieve stress is to identify what I would do if the thing that's keeping me awake at

Why Long Term Investors Must Understand Mean Reversion

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/05/24

I try my best to avoid financial jargon, but “mean reversion” is one piece of jargon well worth being acquainted with. The “mean” is just a fancy way of saying the average. The concept of mean reversion then, is that investments and markets tend to want to pull back to their average over time. This week we’re going to dig into what mean reversion is, and perhaps more importantly, its implications for you as a long term investor. [Disclaimer] [Website]

Alternatives to Retiring Early

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/05/10

Often when I ask new clients when they would like to be able to retire the answer is “tomorrow”, with a smile and a chuckle. Retiring as early as possible is seen by many as the pinnacle of financial success. This is interesting, because if you had someone who had been made redundant and was finding it difficult to get back into the workforce - early retirement but not at a time of their choosing - they're unlikely to be in a happy state. This week I want to explore a few alternatives to retiring

Strategies for Achieving Career Change Success

This week we’re talking career change. For many of the clients that we work with, the choice being pursued is a career change, usually because the job they’re in is not making them happy. Sometimes it might be following a redundancy. Now our area of expertise is around the finances, so our focus is on how to make the career change possible financially. But there’s a whole lot more to a successful career change than just the dollars. I’m joined this week by Kate Richardson. Kate is an Executive

What is Luxury?

2023/04/26

I came across a great story recently that got me thinking. A successful woman in her 50s observed that several of her younger colleagues at work, all in their 20s, were furnishing very expensive handbags. She realised that she'd never had a luxury item like that, and if these young folk could afford one, then surely after all these years of work, she could too. She mentioned this to a few friends, and they were all encouraging - splash out, enjoy yourself, you've earned it. She had a look around and

5 Strategies to Achieve Financial Independence in...

2023/04/19

The focus of our podcast is to help you gain choice through the achievement of what I’ve called Financial Autonomy. A very close cousin of the idea of financial autonomy is Financial Independence. Financial independence is the concept of owning assets that produce income such that it is not necessary for you to engage in paid employment to produce the money you and your family need to live. I'm sure most listeners are familiar with the FIRE acronym. As we've canvassed in past episodes, whilst this

4 Ways Higher Interest Rates Impact Your Share Portfolio

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/04/12

You'd have to have been living on a deserted island for the last 18 months to not know that interest rates have been on the rise. Central banks around the world are endeavouring to return rates to normal levels, following sharp cuts through the pandemic. Normalising rates is not without pain however, as many who bought homes two or three years ago are very well aware right now. But higher interest rates have impacts for investors too. So this week I wanted to dig into four ways in which today's
