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.

It's good to be back, Owen, on this nice Melbourne morning.
Yes, cold as always in winter, but it's nice. What are we talking about?
Today, we wanted to do a nice and light episode on our top five personal finance books because We love reading books and sharing our resources. And we've heard from many of you that you also like all these resources and books we share. So we're just going to summarize five books each today. And hopefully you can maybe get one at your library now if the libraries are open.
Yeah, I reckon they would be.
I think Melbourne Library might be.
Secondhand books online. Yeah.
Or always most of these are on Book Depository or Booktopia or Dimex somewhere else so you can get a hand on these and share them with your friends.
Yeah. Good one. Okay, so we've got five each. Why don't we go tit for tat? You go first, then I'll go. Great. Then you go, et cetera.
Yeah.
So one of my favorite brand new books, so this has only been recently added to my list of books that I like, is actually, it came out this year and it's called Money School by Lacey Phillips. And she is an Australian, so it's awesome to start seeing some books by Australian authors who has reached financial independence by... quite early age in her 30s um and i believe she was an engineer beforehand right and so she talks about her journey and um working towards fire which is the financial independence retire early uh goal in australia which which is awesome because it's interesting seeing how super and all australian investments and strand property all sort of interrelate in achieving your goal and so that's definitely a recommended one on my list
