“I thought investing was for RICH people, and that’s just what it was. It was something a normal person didn’t do, and now our eyes are open – the possibilities are endless really.”  

 

Growing up in a household with a tight budget and parents working double jobs to feed a family of seven, our second Winter Series guest didn’t have a lot of money conversations around the table… 

In fact, there was none. 

Born and bred in Dublin, Anthony graduated into a culture where holidays were funded by loans and you spent everything you had, every week….even when he was working 3 jobs. 😱 

And he might’ve kept going down this path if not for his significant other – Carly -who thankfully bought him his first investing book, The Barefoot Investor, at age 27.  

Over the next decade Anthony has turned it all around, transforming from super spendthrifter to seasoned property investor and renovator.  

Find out how he made the jump, the practical lessons and behavioural management skills he’s learned along the way and how he’s “paper trading” his way towards investing success. 

Such an empowering tale folks, listen now for a big dose of motivation. 👊
