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.

Welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast and we are talking fire. Kate Campbell, thanks for joining me.
Good to be back, Owen. And one of our favorite topics to talk about, we've talked about it a couple of times over the last few years on the podcast, but because we actually just released our brand new Financial Independence Retire Early mega course on RASC education just late December, so most people probably don't know about it yet. And it's free, so that's great. And it will be in the show notes, so we'd love for you to take it. But we wanted to talk a little bit today about how our perspectives on the financial independence movement and that concept have changed over the last few years. I mean, just Owen and I, just the two of us have gone through a lot of changes and I can't imagine the amount of changes all of our listeners have gone through, especially with COVID last year.
So I think that's a really interesting thing to talk about how our ideas and what we think of been financially independent looks like now. And I also wanted to share some of the takeaways that we've had from putting this course together because it was quite a while in the making. I didn't quite realize when I started on this how long it would take to put together an online course. But yeah, so we really just wanted to talk about that a little bit and just sort of share the love with the course and encourage you to try it out and give us your thoughts.
Yeah, that's it. So let's just double click on that. It's a free course. It'll be in the show notes. We wanted to talk about FIRE in this podcast, but we also want to direct your attention to it. The course is free, free, free. So you can go and take it, just enroll, tell your friends about it. So there's a label on it, which is the FIRE movement. So financial independence, retire early. But for anyone who's followed the FIRE movement, you will know that it's not about, you know, it's not necessarily just a label. It's actually like strategies for saving money, for living a better life.
