This week I have a bit of fun with Elephant in the Room co-host Veronica Morgan, a buyers agent and co-host of Foxtel's Location Location Location Australia. I play devil's advocate, arguing against property as an investment, and Veronica explains why I'm wrong (or not in a few cases!). Hope you enjoy this one. <a href= "https://financialautonomy.com.au/general-advice-disclaimer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[Disclaimer]</a> <a href= "https://gooddeeds.com.au/veronica-morgan-good-deeds-team/">Learn more about Veronica here.</a> <a href="https://homebuyeracademy.com.au/">Home Buyer Academy</a>

Why has ESG investing shone in 2020? - Episode 173

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 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.
