Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing.

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. And don't forget to read the PDS and TMD to decide if it's right for you. BetaShares Capital Limited is the issuer.

Kate, thanks for joining me for this very special episode of the Australian Finance Podcast.
Great to be back, Owen. And today we have special guests, Alec and Bryce from EquityMates. Welcome, guys.
Thanks for having us. Keen to chat.
Thanks, guys. Excited to be here. Yeah, this is our first episode that we've ever done remotely. So, we've got a few of us in different offices and even in a different state. So, where are we all coming from today?
Yeah, first time for everything, Owen. I'm up in Sydney recording remotely just like Alec and I usually would. But as you said, I think this is the first time we've all been on a call with four different people, four different places. So, yeah, up in Sydney at the moment.
Wonderful. I'm sure we can get into the which footy team, which code is better another time and we'll save everyone the hassle.
Well, it's Essendon, obviously.
Well, that's if you follow AFL, of course. But we all know the Hawks are the best. Okay, so we thought we'd come together today and have a chat about our journeys to finance and investing and just share the stories perhaps behind our podcast series as well and why we decided to do what we're doing. So, Kate, is there any particular rhyme or reason anyone – that you would like to start with or to share their own story first?
Oh, I don't know if there's two great guys. Bryce?
What would you like to know? Okay.
So, where did your journey with money begin and how did you start getting interested in finance?
So, way back in kindergarten, I think it was, I remember that the Dolomites was a thing, you know, those Commonwealth Bank savings books that you could slide a 50 cent coin or $2 coin in and fill out the tab and send it off to the bank. And mum and dad encouraged me to sort of split my money into sort of three pots, saving, spending, and I can't remember what the other one was, fish food or something. I think I had a fish at the time and needed to save for fish food. Yeah. And yeah, so I think that was the very start of getting introduced to the importance of, I guess, saving and then keeping control of spending.
