In this episode, I sit down with Damien Walker, my right-hand man and fellow numbers nerd, to unpack the latest RBA rate cut and what it really means for investors, homebuyers, and anyone wanting to grow their portfolio. We answer questions straight from our listeners, from the myths around 10-year interest-only loans to the silent damage credit cards and car leases are doing to your borrowing power. We dive into the psychology of money, rentvesting, choosing the right buyer’s agent, and why self-employed Aussies are missing out. It’s honest, it’s practical, and it might just be the wake-up call you need. If you’re ready to stop sitting on the sidelines and start taking action, this one’s for you.Key Moments:00:20 RBA rate cut: what it means for you02:20 Borrowing capacity explained 07:00 Why most investors regret not buying more12:52 The mindset shift: income-producing vs. depreciating assets20:06 Outgrowing your broker24:45 The magic number for financial wellbeing28:10 1 in 10 Aussies are now millionaires33:42 Rentvesting reality & long-term affordability concerns39:00 Should you trust your super fund?43:00 Why more investors are turning to self-managed super46:00 How to structure your income for smarter investing50:11 Are you really running a business or just self-employed?About Aaron:Aaron-Christie David founded Atelier Wealth, a Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) approved Mortgage Broker.
