92. How your upbringing shapes your relationship with money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much of your relationship with money was shaped before you were old enough to earn any? In this episode, Dave and Hayden look back at their own childhoods and unpack how financial stress, family circumstances and the people around us can shape our beliefs about money. They explore everything from frugality and risk-taking to ambition, scarcity and the feeling that there is never quite enough. This is a more personal episode of Aussie FIRE. It is not about finding the perfect investment strat
91. Work optional at 34 with Anthony Nguyen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anthony Nguyen spent around a decade building towards financial independence. But when he got close to his target, he did something many people struggle to imagine: he stopped early.

In this episode we'll discuss: 💸 Why quitting stock picking could actually improve your returns, and Hayden's two near-misses with Boeing and Qantas 💸 The brutal maths of individual
88. Savings vs offset vs investing: How each stacks up at 6% interest rates (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years ago mortgages were under 2% and cash earned you nothing. Now rates sit around 6% and every option looks different: savings accounts are suddenly respectable, offsets feel like a guaranteed win, and borrowing to invest looks scarier than it maybe is. Dave and Hayden work through how a high-rate environment reshuffles the deck, and the mental shortcuts that lead people astray in both directions. In this episode we'll discuss: 💸 Savings accounts are back, but interest is taxed at your m
