Welcome to the Money Mentor Podcast. Graeme Holm, Australia's original Money Mentor and his wife Rebecca speak about all areas of finance in this informative, yet entertaining podcast. Not only will you improve your financial literacy, you might just have a bit of a laugh as well.

In this bonus episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Simone & Mark alongside their Relationship Manager, Richie, to explore their journey from financial overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and long-term wealth building. Before joining Infinity, Simone & Mark were a blended family with six children, multiple bank accounts, separate financial habits, and strategy. Mark loved spending without a budget, and although Simone already had gold and silver investments, they still didn't like they were moving toward true financial security or the generational wealth they dreamed of creating. After discovering Infinity through referrals and joining the program, everything shifted. What once felt confusing became simple. They learned the power of budgeting, started with an FFF of $550 per week, and over time worked it down to $200 per week, without losing fun or lifestyle. Simone & Mark's journey proves that when you combine education, structure, and support,financial freedom becomes not just possible — but inevitable.

Mark and Simone share how they rebuilt their financial lives after divorce, blending their experiences as single parents navigating difficult settlements and trust issues. Simone originally managed her finances alone while carrying the responsibility of providing for her child. When she met Mark, they kept their money separate at first, each cautious after past relationships. Their turning point came when Mark discovered a financial strategy program that aligned with their goals and gave them clarity on how to move forward. Once they combined their efforts, they committed to paying off their mortgage and building wealth together. Simone's initial scepticism shifted as she saw the results, clearing a $500,000 mortgage and acquiring four investment properties in just three years. Their story is grounded in trust, strategic planning, and shared determination, showing how two people with challenging pasts can create a secure financial future when they learn, align, and work together.

In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Norman & Diana, to share a powerful transformation grounded in clarity, structure, and the confidence that comes from finally having a clear financial strategy. Before joining Infinity, Norman & Diana were doing their best, but felt stuck and scattered. They were juggling: $350k home loan, car loan of $10k, credit card debt of $3,327, two investment properties, but no guidance on whether to keep or sell, $130k in super, A belief that you should “always hold onto investments,” even when they weren't serving them and multiple accounts and no cohesive plan. They knew they wanted to get ahead — but weren't sure how. After discovering Infinity, everything changed. Their Relationship Manager guided them step-by-step through the strategy, helping them understand why each decision mattered. Since joining Infinity in September 2023, their transformation has been extraordinary. They paid their home loan down to $0, sold two older investment properties that no longer aligned with their goals, and purchased three new investment properties. On top of that, they now follow a structured FFF of $750 per week, giving them clarity, stability, and control over their finances.

Diana and Norman share how they transformed their finances in just two years by committing to disciplined budgeting, financial education, and expert guidance. After moving from Sydney to the Gold Coast for a better lifestyle, they sold their NSW investments and used the proceeds to eliminate their mortgage far earlier than expected. Their contrasting money habits, Diana's cautious upbringing versus Norman's past as a carefree spender, made the early stages challenging, but aligning their goals and merging finances became a turning point. With structure and clarity from Infinity, they built multiple investment properties, including assets held through their self-managed super fund. Their story highlights how a shift in mindset and consistent financial discipline can dramatically improve both financial and personal well-being. By following a clear plan, managing spending, and focusing on long-term growth, they reduced stress, improved their lifestyle, and strengthened their relationship. Today, they enjoy greater freedom, better work-life balance, and a secure foundation to support their children's future, showing how quickly life can change when a couple embraces strategy and teamwork.

In this episode of Changing Lives Financially, we sit down with Ashley & Theresa alongside their Relationship Manager, Amanda, to unpack their journey from financial stress and uncertainty to clarity, confidence, and rapid progress with Infinity. Before joining Infinity, Ashley & Theresa were earning the most they ever had, yet felt stuck and constantly stressed about bills. With a $575k home loan, an existing investment property, no savings, credit card debt, and no real budget, they felt like they were going nowhere despite working hard. After watching the free webinar and attending the Masterclass at the end of February 2025, they knew something had to change — and decided to take action. Since joining Infinity, their transformation has been powerful. They've eliminated credit card debt, sold their existing investment property, built a portfolio of three investment properties (including one in SMSF) valued at $2.43 million, reduced their FFF to $600 for a family of five, and built a strong SMSF cash position. Ashley also shares how the 60 Strong challenge became a personal turning point, both physically and mentally. Throughout the episode, Ashley & Theresa talk openly about what it's really like having a Relationship Manager, the importance of ongoing support and communication, and how the Infinity community, including charity involvement, has played a huge role in keeping them motivated and accountable. They also reflect on the values they want to pass on to their kids and the advice they'd give anyone considering starting their own Infinity journey.

In this episode of The Money Mentor, Ashley and Theresa share how they broke free from the financial “hamster wheel” despite earning solid incomes in Central Queensland. With Ash working FIFO and Theresa in administration, they were doing all the right things on paper, yet making no real progress. A major health scare became the wake-up call that pushed them to seek a clearer, long-term strategy beyond surface-level budgeting tools. After discovering Infinity, everything changed. With structured planning, practical tools, and strong community support, they dramatically accelerated their mortgage reduction and reshaped their lifestyle. The transformation extended beyond money, with improved health, confidence, and future vision, including more time together, travel plans, and building generational security. Their story highlights how clarity, accountability, and the right framework can unlock momentum where effort alone never could.

In this episode of Changing Lives Financially, we sit down with Aaron & Michelle to share their powerful journey from financial pressure and overwhelm to clarity, structure, and long term wealth building with Infinity. Before joining Infinity, Aaron & Michelle were a family of six living in a three bedroom, one-bathroom home, struggling with car loans, credit card and tax debt, and the stress of failed investments. After being knocked back by multiple banks and feeling stuck with no clear way forward, they knew something had to change. Since joining Infinity, they've completely restructured their finances. By separating accounts, setting a clear budget, and committing to personal growth challenges like 60 Strong, they'vetransformed not only their money but their mindset. They've sold an unsuitable home, built a strong investment portfolio including properties in super, and are now using investments strategically to support their family's future. Most importantly, they're passing these lessons on to their kids creating real generational change.

In this week's Wilson Weekly, Rachael Howlett and Dr Andrew Wilson wrap up the final episode of the year, breaking down the key market indicators shaping Australia's property and economic landscape as we head into summer. They unpack the November labour market data, with the jobless rate holding steady, and what this resilience in employment means for household confidence, borrowing capacity, and housing demand.Discover our new tool: What's My Rental Home Yield?Money Mentor YouTube Channel: @moneymentorauLink to Dr Andrew Wilson on LinkedIn: /dr-andrewIf you enjoyed our podcast, make sure you follow and subscribe to stay up to date with the latest episodes.

Aaron and Michelle share how they reshaped their financial life by doing the unexpected: selling their family home to rent so they could accelerate their investing goals. With a structured budget, discipline from challenges like 75 Hard and 60 Strong, and a clear vision for the future, they went from financial pressure to building a multimillion-dollar portfolio of six properties, including two inside their self-managed super funds. Their story blends smart strategy with lifestyle transformation. By removing the emotional attachment to home ownership, they gained flexibility, boosted cashflow, and built an investment engine that now covers their rent and supports their long-term goals. Today, they're focused on helping their kids enter the property market, maintaining strong financial habits, and building a supportive community around growth and wellbeing.

In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, Emily sits down with Florian & Ryan to unpack their journey from financial confusion and scattered investments to complete clarity, structure, and rapid growth with Infinity. Before joining Infinity, they were juggling a $240k home loan, three investment properties jointly owned with family, a $10k credit card debt, and a combined super balance of $433k, all with no structured budget and no clear roadmap for the future. Their financial picture was complicated, messy, and overwhelming, leaving them unsure of how to take control. Everything changed the moment they joined Infinity in March 2024. With guidance from their Relationship Manager, Emily, they implemented a strategy that simplified every part of their financial life. They paid off their entire home loan, sold one underperforming investment and began the sale process on another, and then went on to purchase five new investment properties in just 15 months, including two through their SMSF and three using equity. They also established their SMSF investment structure, placing $100k into a 12% return fund, and refined their weekly FFF to a sustainable $600.Their story is full of insight and encouragement for anyone feeling stuck or intimidated by the idea of taking control of their finances. They finish with genuine, heartfelt advice for anyone considering joining Infinity: trust the process, stay consistent, and be open to change because the results can be life changing.

Ryan and Florian share their journey of migrating from the Philippines to Australia and navigating the financial challenges that followed. Early on, they faced mismanaged investments, complex arrangements with family, and growing debts across credit cards and mortgages. Seeking guidance became the turning point. Through structured financial planning and clear budgeting strategies, they paid off their home loan, learned to control their expenses without feeling restricted, and reshaped their entire approach to money. With discipline, education, and expert support, they built a stronger financial foundation and expanded into multiple investment properties. They credit the community around their financial program for keeping them accountable and motivated as they moved from confusion to clarity. Today, their goals extend beyond personal wealth; they're focused on continuing to grow their portfolio and using their financial success to give back to others.

In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Tracy & Steve to explore one of the fastest turnarounds we've ever seen at Infinity, proof that when you commit, trust the process, and take action, financial change can happen almost instantly. Tracy & Steve first discovered Infinity through research and recommendations, looking for real guidance after years of feeling stuck. Before joining, they were juggling: A home loan of $85k (including caravan, car & renovation debt), $30k credit card limit, $33k owing on a previous investment property loan, no budget and constantly dipping into redraw and offset accounts. Despite working hard, they weren't moving forward and they knew something had to change. After joining Infinity in May 2025, everything shifted quickly. Guided through the process and later attending REM, they made confident decisions and took back full control of their finances. Their transformation has been remarkable: Paid their home loan down to $0 — in just 3 months, closed old accounts and cancelled all credit cards, sold their caravan and one car, purchased 4 investment properties (including 1 in SMSF), started sweeping monthly and building strong habits and set a sustainable FFF budget of $500/week. Tracy & Steve's story is proof that when you stop guessing and start following a proven strategy, financial freedom comes faster than you think.

Tracy and Steve from Perth share how they turned their finances around after discovering Infinity through Facebook. Married for 30 years with kids and grandkids, they were carrying significant debt tied to their home loan and multiple consumer purchases like cars and a caravan. Initially sceptical, Steve warmed up after attending a masterclass that gave them clarity on how to restructure their finances. By selling unnecessary assets, eliminating credit cards and committing to a strict weekly budget, they managed to pay off $180,000 in home loans within just a few months. Today, they're almost completely debt-free and focused on building long term wealth through smarter investing and disciplined money management. They credit Infinity's mentoring, community support, and structured guidance as major contributors to their success, remaining active in the program despite the challenges of time zones. Their story is a testament to what's possible with commitment, education, and the right financial strategy.

In this episode of Changing Lives Financially, we sit down with Michael & Violet to unpack their journey from high stress, no structure, and over $1 million in debt to becoming financially organised, clear-minded, and owners of three investment properties in under one year. Michael & Violet share how they discovered Infinity through work connections and how money was always a conversation in their life but never with strategy. From running a business, juggling tax decisions, and spending heavily on toys, vehicles and lifestyle purchases, they reached a point where their finances felt overwhelming and out of control.With a $1.07M home loan, no budget, no credit cards (by choice), and no investments, the pressure was at an all-time high. Everything shifted once they joined Infinity and started working closely with Chantal. By implementing a structured budget, setting an FFF of $450, and finally organising their finances with guidance and accountability, they reduced their home loan to $258,000, built over $206,000 in redraw, established three investment properties valued at $2.6M, and grew their super cash to $122,000 all in under a year. This episode dives into Michael & Violet's financial transformation, their mindset breakthroughs, and the changes that helped them regain control of their future.

Michael and Violet share a powerful financial and personal transformation, beginning with their early years working together in a Canberra hospital and navigating life paycheque to paycheque. Their turning point came when Michael left his hospital role to build his own pest control business, forcing the couple to rethink how they managed money. Through the support of the Infinity community, they learned to cut unnecessary spending, sell high-cost lifestyle items, and adopt a structured financial plan that aligned with their goals. Their disciplined approach resulted in major wins, including significant mortgage reduction, stronger budgeting habits, and the purchase of multiple investment properties. Now focused on building a secure future for their children, Michael and Violet are intent on breaking old financial patterns and instilling better habits for the next generation. Their story highlights the power of education, mindset shifts, and community support in creating long term financial stability.

In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Alix & Luke and their Relationship Manager, Nick, to unpack one of the most dramatic financial turnarounds yet, a story of commitment, clarity, and complete transformation. Alix & Luke first discovered Infinity after watching the free webinar, which quickly led them to the Masterclass. What they heard made sense and for the first time, they realised that the strategy they had been using (Barefoot Investor style, paying weekly into multiple accounts) wasn't actually moving them forward. Before Infinity, they were: Carrying 3 mortgages, paying principal + interest on all, owing $530k total, following a strategy that looked “safe” but wasn't building wealth, putting weekly money into separate kids' accounts but not growing their own, and managing finances across multiple accounts without clear direction. After joining Infinity in July 2024, everything changed — fast. Within 8 months, they transformed their entire financial position: Paid out all 3 mortgages, $0 balance by Feb 2025, purchased 4 investment properties (2 in SMSF + 2 more through equity), discovered $100k sitting across forgotten accounts, got married AND took their entire family on their first overseas holiday, established an FFF of $695 weekly, withdrew $560k equity and used it strategically, paid off $40k of their new loan in only 4 months.Alix & Luke's story shows that when you stop guessing and follow a proven strategy, financial freedom can happen much faster than you think.

Alix and Luke open up about their journey from city living to returning to their small hometown, raising three kids while slowly and steadily rebuilding their financial foundation. Their path included buying a home, taking on multiple mortgages, and learning to manage their money with more intention. Initially sceptical of financial coaching, they began applying strategies from various resources and programs, which helped them adopt a structured budget and make smarter decisions around debt and investing. Their disciplined approach allowed them to pay down debt, improve their financial stability, and grow their investment position. Now, they're planning future renovations, exploring more investment opportunities, and continuing to follow the framework that helped them get ahead. Their story shows how small, consistent steps backed by good financial guidance can create long-term security, even for a busy family balancing life in a country town.

In this powerful episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Karen & Martin to unpack their incredible financial transformation, one built on teamwork, structure, and finally combining their finances and goals after years of operating separately. Before joining Infinity, Karen and Martin were doing well financially, but they weren't aligned:Separate bank accounts, investment properties & spending habits, no clear budget, Martin splurged on a $103K AMG Mercedes, Karen spent heavily on renovations and carried a $580K home loan. They knew they wanted financial freedom, but not the stress or confusion. After joining Infinity in November 2024, everything shifted. Together, with a plan, structure, and accountability, they aligned their finances, simplified decisions, and executed with confidence. Since then, the results speak for themselves: Sold two investment properties strategically to reset their position, paid off their $580K mortgage in April 2025, purchased FIVE investment properties, including 2 in their SMSF, adopted a weekly FFF budget of $450. Karen & Martin's story is a reminder that clarity and teamwork create momentum and when you follow the process, life expands.

In this week's Wilson Weekly, Rachel Howlett and Dr Andrew Wilson unpack the first week of December with a deep dive into the new federal Help to Buy shared-equity scheme launching 5 December and what it could mean for first home buyers, prices and demand. They break down another month of strong November home price growth, worrying falls in building approvals, and auction results that show a market still firmly in sellers' territory even as the spring selling season wraps up.Discover our new tool: What's My Rental Home Yield?Money Mentor YouTube Channel: @moneymentorauLink to Dr. Andrew Wilson on LinkedIn: / dr-andrew.

In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, Kat sits down with Nick & Laura to unpack their incredible transformation, from feeling financially stretched with multiple debts, high monthly repayments, and no clear strategy, to paying off their entire home loan and building a thriving investment portfolio.After discovering Infinity and joining the Masterclass, everything shifted. They learned exactly what was holding them back and how to structure their finances properly something they had never experienced before. Working closely with their Relationship Manager, Kat, gave them confidence, direction, and a level of support they say completely changed the way they viewed money.Nick & Laura's story is proof that with the right strategy, structure, and support, financial clarity and freedom is absolutely achievable.

Nick and Laura, a couple living on the outskirts of Canberra, share how they reshaped their financial future by reassessing their strategy, consolidating assets, and confronting hard decisions head on. After selling multiple properties, including a difficult Tasmanian investment that cost them money, they used the setback to strengthen their position. Their turning point came through educational podcasts that introduced them to Infinity, a framework that helped them understand debt, structure their finances, and take action with clarity and confidence. Those lessons empowered them to aggressively eliminate debt and, remarkably, pay off an $850,000 mortgage. Now, with improved serviceability and a stronger financial base, they're exploring their next moves in investing and portfolio growth. Their story highlights the power of financial literacy, community support, and disciplined planning, and their hope is that by sharing their journey, others will be inspired to build their own roadmap to independence.

Before joining Infinity, Amy & Rhett were earning well, but the numbers weren't reflecting that reality. Despite having strong incomes, they felt like they were spinning their wheels, working hard with nothing to show for it. After joining Infinity in September 2024, everything changed.

In this episode of The Money Mentor, Tracie & Brett share their journey towards improved health and financial well-being. Their financial journey involved reevaluating their budgeting habits. Initially skeptical about budgeting, they discovered its benefits for financial empowerment, challenging the common perception that budgeting is synonymous with scarcity. They discuss the psychological impact of misunderstandings about money and the importance of financial literacy and strengthening relationships and family stability.

Before joining Infinity, Nathan & Leanne were comfortable but uncertain about their next steps. They had a $280K home loan, a $480K combined super balance, a $40K novated car lease, and no clear financial plan. Their budget was unstructured, and they weren't sure how to move forward or make their money work harder for them. After finding Infinity and joining the program, everything changed. With Infinity's guidance, they created a clear strategy, paid off their home and car loans completely, and built a portfolio of three investment properties (including one in their SMSF) worth over $4.18 million.

In this bonus episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Wade & Lainie alongside their Relationship Manager, Sam, to explore how guidance, trust, and teamwork can completely transform financial lives. Before joining Infinity, Wade & Lainie felt stuck. With multiple accounts, credit cards, and no clear financial direction, they were spending more than they should and facing a $528k mortgage with 22 years to go. Money arguments were common, and despite working hard, they weren't making progress. After discovering Infinity on social media, they watched the free webinar and then joined a masterclass that completely changed their mindset—especially for Lainie, who admits she had been skeptical at first. Since then, their journey has been remarkable: Paid off $80k of their mortgage already, on track to own their home in 3 years instead of 20, built a portfolio of 3 investment properties (with more on the horizon), dropped their weekly budget, while finally feeling in control of spending, stopped money arguments and found financial alignment as a couple and discovered the power of community and accountability working with Sam. Most importantly, Wade & Lainie are now passing on these habits to their son Jack, showing that smart financial planning creates not only freedom for today but generational change for the future.

In this episode of The Money Mentor: Changing Lives Financially, we sit down with Wade & Lainie, who joined the Infinity family in April 2024 after years of feeling like advice from “experts” wasn't really tailored for them. Before Infinity, they had a $528k home loan with 22 years left, two credit cards, a caravan costing over $1,000/month, and a $1,120 weekly budget that left little room for progress. Lainie admits she was skeptical at first, letting Wade take the financial wheel but both felt stuck, overspending, and without a clear direction. Since joining Infinity, everything has shifted. They've reduced their home loan to $452k with $42k in redraw, built a portfolio of 3 investment properties, sold their caravan, slashing costs and their mortgage, dropped their weekly budget from $1,120 to $750 (heading towards $650!) and gained control of their finances and confidence in their plan Wade & Lainie's journey is proof that with the right strategy, even skepticism can turn into empowerment and financial stress can become financial freedom.This episode dives into:● How they turned doubt into action● The financial decisions that created instant momentum● Building wealth while learning to manage spending habits● Why having the right guide makes all the difference● What's next on their investment journey
