This podcast is about gaining choice. Our guest today is a podcasting friend of mine who has gained choice through changing her career trajectory to get into an area of personal interest. Normally it's Nic doing the interviewing, so today we'll see how she goes in the role of podcast guest.   <a href= "https://financialautonomy.com.au/general-advice-disclaimer">[Disclaimer]</a>

The Balancing Act

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.
