205 | Jack Henderson – Expelled at 15 and 3 Properties by 22

As part of our brand new Summer Series, we put a request out there to see if any of our Couch Tribe were interested in sharing their story… the result? Today’s guest!!!

 

Folks, our very own listener, Jack Henderson, is here to explain his own property investment journey and how he’s managed to go — yep! — from being expelled at 15 to owning THREE properties by the impressive age of 22!!

The million dollar question is… how did he do it?

Let’s here the story straight from our star guest, shall we?

 

Before we get into the ripper of a story, just a quick shout out to say…

“Good on ya’ Jack! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey and your numbers with us!”

Seriously folks, it’s awesome that many of our listeners were quick to put their hand up and pass their knowledge on to help other folks out there!! So just a heads up… You can expect a few more guest listeners coming up in the Summer Series 😉

Also, if you’re keen to be an “everyday investor” and haven’t listened to our fundamental episodes yet (these episodes are CRUCIAL), or you simply want to have them at your fingertips in written form, make sure you Download the Golden Highlights.

Pssst… missed the first episode of our Summer Series? Check out our interview with Peter Koulizos here.

204 | Peter Koulizos – What he’d like to do about Negative Gearing?

Folks it’s time to rip out the straw hat, grab your sunnies and chuck on your thongs… because TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF OUR SUMMER SERIES!!

Which means this: 2 Episodes of The Property Couch each week — Tuesday and Thursday — kicking off RIGHT NOW all the way until Thursday 31st January! Yep. That’s 7 unstoppable weeks of nothing but the best guests, double time!

And joining us for our first ever episode of the season to dive into the implications of the proposed changes to Negative gearing is none other than the Property Professor himself… Peter Koulizos! If you recognise the name, that’s not only because Peter is an industry expert who has been in the property education space for a very, very long time, he’s also sat on the Couch a couple times already!! We spoke to him about gentrification way back in Episode 30 and then again in Episode 47!!

Although he likely doesn’t need an introduction, we’ll clear up that, yes, aside from being a hands-on property investor himself, Peter specialises in property valuation and economics and holds a teaching degree, a Graduate Diploma in Property and a Masters of Business (Property). He lectures in Property Investment for Tafe SA, Uni SA and other property education courses all over the country. And he’s done all this for over a decade. Not to mention, the Property Professor also took over the reins from Ben as Chairman of Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA)!

So, let’s bring out the Summer cocktail and kick off the conversation shall we?!

201 | Money Lessons for Kids

Today’s show is a special shout out to our parent-folk out there (and for those who might one day be one)! Heck, if you just want some foundation money management tips, you’ll find some golden nuggets here too!

What we’re about to unpacked is a framework-stacked episode featuring THE Money Lessons for Kids — more specifically, how to teach your kids about money! Because, let’s face it, money makes the world go ‘round… so if our young folk aren’t given a proper head start as to how it all works, their futures will be impacted. It really is as simple and as straightforward as that.

So, how do you work out when and how to teach them?

Well, with 2 young boys each, we’ve asked ourselves the same thing. We get it — trying to run a household, manage your own money AND make sure your kids grow up to be respectable, decent and bright humans is no easy task. Adding to that the necessity of teaching them about money so that they can, not only survive in the big wide world but actually thrive in it… well, even we could do with some insights!

That’s what we want to give YOU today (if you’ve got more tips to teach our own kids too, we’d love to know!)…

 

Before plunge into the murky waters of Money & Kids 101, here are a few bits of housekeeping and the free resources we mention in today’s show…

Oh, and because kids learn A LOT just by watching what you do (so the way you manage your own money really matters), here’s a shameless plug for our new book, Make Money Simple Again!

As Bryce mentioned, his TV show Escape from the City premiers on the 3rd of January 2018! So make sure you spare some time between the cricket to check it out! Just a heads up, he’ll personally be appearing on the show a few weeks later on the 31st January 😉

 

Here’s what you’ll learn from today’s episode…

 

 

200 | Paul Clitheroe – Timeless Wisdom from the Original “Money” Guru

Folks, it’s finally here…… our 200TH EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!

Pheeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuppppp!!!!

(This is as close as we can get to a Party Horn sound.)

And, boy, do we have a legendary episode for you!!! To give you an idea folks — when we locked in today’s guest, Ben was cartwheeling and high-fiving all over the joint. And for good reason… because joining us today is none other than THEMoney” man himself, Mr Paul Clitheroe!!!

Look, we probably don’t need to tell you that from 1993 – 2002, Paul Clitheroe was indeed a household name — appearing in people’s lounge rooms as he hosted the wildly successful show Money on the Nine Network. Yep. Almost one in two households were watching his show, so if you’re like us, and you’ve got a bit of “salt and pepper” in your hair, chances are you were one of the folks watching!

For those Gen Y-ers who might not know Paul, he (along with his uni mates) founded the leading investment research and advisory company ipac, back in 1983. He’s got more than a handful of books to his name — Money, Marriage and Divorce, Making Money, The Road to Wealth, Free Yourself from Debt, Make your Fortune by 40… and this isn’t even all of them! You can stalk all of his books here.

To put the cherry on his very successful career, Paul’s gone on to dedicate his professional life to serving others, having been an active advocate of financial literacy for DECADES and championing ASIC’s MoneySmart Schools. To give you an idea, he’s Chairman of the Australian Government Financial Literacy Board and Financial Literacy Australia, as well as the Chairman of InvestSMART. Oh, and he’s also Chairman and chief commentator of Money magazine.

Yep. Doesn’t get much better folks!!

Well, maybe it does… because we’ve got him for over 1.5 hours of rock-solid gold!!! (Yep. You might need to listen to both ways on your commute!!)

The even better bit?

… Paul comes with real life money hacks AND he’s also a ripper storyteller!
