The Questions…

Question from Al Knight Lewis – Investment Stock & Investment Grade – Is it still relevant?

“Good afternoon. I have just started listening to your podcasts and am finding them so

Interesting! Episode 8 talks about investment stock vs investment grade and I’m wondering if the info in this episode is still current and relevant 6 years later? I’m looking for our first investment in Brisbane.”

 

Question from Don Holloway – Are there any benefits from having $10k sitting in an offset?

“With interest rates so low atm is there any benefits from having $10k sitting in an offset?

My calculations (and confirmed by investment bankers n mortgage brokers) best to buy quality shares with your $10k than to month ball it into an offset account. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

BTW, I’ve read your book Make Money Simple Again last year. Found it to be a parallel to Scott Pape barefoot investor”

 

 

 

 

338 | Going Ape S#!t: How To Hack Your Brain To Make More Money – Chat with Phil Slade

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

What if we told you there’s a hidden part of your brain that controls your financial decisions… even if you believe you’re the one calling the shots!?!

Folks, today we have a very exciting episode in store for you (Ben’s in his absolute element!) that’s about to reveal how to hack your brain to make you more money!

Here’s the reality… despite our best intentions, we DON’T make decisions out of spreadsheets – we make decisions out of emotions!

And this is where Behavioural Economics comes in.

That is: the study of the “how and why” behind our financial and property choices. The “Oh, yeah, I’m actually a human!” stuff that deeply influences our choices and the economy at large.

Fun Fact: This is the EXACT same study we used to make the correct judgement call way back in March last year (when COVID panic was at its peak!) that the property market was NOT going to fall off a cliff despite the scary economic predictions out there.

… And it ALL comes down to understanding human behaviour!

Joining us today is Behavioural Economist and Psychologist Phil Slade – the author of “Going Ape S#!t” , Founder of Decida and regular contributor to Money Magazine.

Phil makes neuroscience simple, interesting and FUN by highlighting irrational ‘blind-spots’, increasing awareness of cognitive biases that influence perception and behaviour, and inspiring people to become less reactive, and more responsive!

And he’s going to fill you in on a little thing called “The Ape Brain” and how you can tame it with a simple framework that’ll get you making better financial decisions, winning at auction (or walking away so you don’t pay too much!) and delaying gratification in a way that doesn’t trigger dread or make you feel like you’re missing out in the present moment.

Strap yourselves in folks — ‘cos no word of a lie: nail this, and you’re pretty much set for life. (Money is Simple… Behaviour is Hard, right!?!)

 

Free Stuff & Resources Mentioned 

 

Here’s what we cover…

  • What factors are studied in Behavioural Economics?
  • Behavioural Economics vs Classical Economic Theory (note: don’t stress, this is a palatable explanation 😉)
  • How much of the population applies this stuff to their decision making around finance?
  • How did Phil get into this field, anyway?
  • 3 Simple Ways To Apply Behavioural Economics To Your Finances!

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

Just like you’d visit a doctor for a physical health check-up, the same applies for your MONEY health!

In this episode we’re diving deep on The Four Pillars of Money Health — that is, the areas you must regularly monitor to take care of your money and, yep, create MORE of it so you can ultimately reach the summit of a passive income for life!

Here’s the deal…

A couple of weeks ago we did an episode on The Four Types Of Wealth and within that framework is, of course, “Financial Wealth” (what our entire podcast is all about, right!?!)

And if you listened to that particular episode, you’ll know already that within the area of Financial Wealth exists ANOTHER Framework – The 7 Grades of Financial Wellbeing…

Well, Grade 4 (out of the seven) is Financial Stability – and this is the BASELINE of where you need to be at if you’re even remotely considering wealth creation!

Now, stick with us folks – ‘cos here’s where today’s episode comes in…

You CAN’T build a house of Financial Peace on poor foundations – so we’re giving you “The Four Pillars of Money Health” that sit BENEATH Financial Stability!

… Are you still with us!?! 😂🤯

Basically, today’s ep is a framework within a framework within a framework within a framework….

… And we promise it’ll ALL make sense once you listen!

‘Cos once you know this stuff, you’ll not only NEVER get a poor financial health diagnosis again… but also you’ll get the exact prescription to conduct your own Money Health check up so you move beyond Financial Stability and into a position where you can go ahead and create wealth for yourself!

These pillars are also the regular habits “everyday millionaires” start with… so please listen up!
