526 | How She Stopped Money Controlling Her: 3 Properties & No Debt! – Chat with Sarah

Have you ever heard of a 13-year-old who chose to read finance self-help books on blue chip investments and negative gearing…over reading Harry Potter? 📖💰💼📈 

This is the story of Sarah, a resilient and money-savvy investor who has labelled herself “The Queen of Delayed Gratification.”   

And there’s a good reason for that!  

In our last episode for 2024, we get to unpack her eye-opening story from the unfortunate series of accidents that left her $20G in debt and how she still managed to save for a home deposit while supporting her mother and family. 

And this is just one chapter from her story!  


Tune in to hear: 

✅ Why you should NEVER sell your first home (and why Sarah pushed the button)  

✅ Don’t prioritise paying your mortgage first  

✅ Understanding the 6-year-rule: Why it matters!!  

✅ Speculative shares, investing in Bali, and why saving $300 for a camping coffee machine is important!  

It’s a motivational episode that warms our hearts as we see Sarah today with 3 properties and no debt!  

P.S. As 2024 draws to a close, from The Property Couch family to yours, we wish you all a very Happy New Year and a safe festive break!
