Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing. With the BetaShares WealthBuilder range, investors can access moderate gearing into shares, and with the newly launched GG-BL, That means exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 1,300 global companies excluding Australia, all with no loan applications, credit checks, or margin calls. Gearing magnifies both gains and losses, so it's only suitable for investors with a very high tolerance for risk. You can learn more about the WealthBuilder range of ETFs at the BetaShares website.

I interrupt our regular programming to bring you a quick update on what we've been working on behind the scenes at RASC. Proper financial education is nearly impossible in Australia for the masses, and we wanted to address that. Every day we check our total enrolments as a sign of hope, pride and achievement. Recently, we crossed 16,000 students enrolled in RASC courses. This is a massive achievement for us at RASC. That's 16,000 families who have been positively impacted by our sensible, optimistic, focused strategies to help them out of debt and into long-term investing. Many of the courses on Rask are free, and we've just launched our biggest cluster of courses called Rask Road Trip. It's a series of six online short courses covering everything from investing for the first time to saving on tax, repaying debt, the psychology of feeling more positive about money, and a crash course for anyone to understand and sort out their super.
These are all completely free. I say again, the Rask Road Trip is entirely free. They are in addition to heaps of other free resources we provide at Rask. If you're worried about your mortgage or want to buy a property, take our debt course or our property 101 course. They're both provided by experts on the platform. Or if you've wanted to invest for the first time but don't know how, we teamed up with EquityMates for the official Get Started Investing course. That's also free. If you wanna grow your wealth and do it in an informed way, our ETF investing course is the most popular course we have ever launched, teaching you the essentials of ETF investing. I also think it's the most popular ETF course in Australia.
If you're worried about interest rates on your car loan, have credit cards up to your eyeballs, loans to family or friends, or maybe even one of those buy now pay later loans from Afterpay or Zip, Take our debt course. It's free. It's part of RAS Road Trip. We'll teach you the two easiest ways to pay down debt and get free help from an expert. The big reason I want to celebrate these milestones with you is that the world of long-term investing is actually a very positive place, filled with opportunity and value creation. And learning to avoid the doomsayers and toxic armchair experts on TV or on social media is bloody hard. And right now, more than I've seen in the past 10 years, things are pretty scary for a lot of our family and friends.
Job security, higher debt repayments, and falling property and share prices are pretty scary. According to Finder, the number one stressor is a mortgage repayment or rent, followed by groceries. I don't think I've eaten an iceberg lettuce in 2022.
