How can you find the right balance between enjoying life today, and having that wonderful lifestyle, versus the delayed gratification of saving and investing to achieve bigger, long-term goals? That’s what we’ll explore in this week's Financial Autonomy podcast.   <a href= "https://financialautonomy.com.au/">[Website]</a> <a href= "https://financialautonomy.com.au/general-advice-disclaimer/">[Disclaimer]</a>

Maximising Your Most Valuable Asset with Shelley Johnson

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.
