I'm joined today by author and buyers agent Steve Palise. Steve recently released his second book, Residential Property Investing Explained, to complement his first release Commercial Property Investing Explained. But today we're not just talking property, Steve splits his time between Australia and the UK. He's achieved this through two of the three Financial Autonomy pathways that we focus on here. So let's dive in and learn how he's done it. <a href= "https://financialautonomy.com.au/general-advice-disclaimer">[Disclaimer]</a>

Strategies and Opportunities in a Rising Interest Rate World

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.
