Financial Autonomy

Plenty of books, podcasts and blogs focus on building wealth – and that’s great, as far as it goes. But focusing just on wealth misses the point. I believe what most of us actually want is to have choice.Choice in how much time we give to income-producing activities.Choice about what those income-producing activities are.Choice about where we live.Choice about when we retire.Choice about the ways we use our money to produce happiness.In the Financial Autonomy podcast, I explore the different ways you can gain choice - from investing in stocks to becoming self-employed, starting a side hustle, or buying an investment property. I share learnings I've gained working with clients for over 20 years as a Certified Financial Planner, and interview others with interesting insights or experiences in gaining choice in life.

Very informative

I really liked Paul's focus on learning from the past with examples of Tulip mania and hyper inflation from the past. Even though this podcast originated in Australia, I could really relate to the topics. Great podcast and excellent host.
