Today, I want to share 25, let's call them commandments, for financial wealth and success.   And to get the message across best to you, I decided to do something a little different. Normally, I have a guest, but this time it will be just you and me as I share these ideas with you.   These aren't property rules, and most of them aren't even investment rules in the traditional sense.   They're the broader truths about money and behaviour I've collected over the years, the ones that apply whether you're buying property, building a business, or simply trying to retire with options rather than regrets.   In this episode, I discuss that real wealth comes from mindset, patience, and discipline more than from chasing shortcuts or trying to predict the market.   I also emphasize that progress should be measured against your own starting point, not against other people's highlight reels.   I also remind you that ultimately, the person you become matters just as much as the assets you build.   Takeaways    • Wealth is built through patience, consistency, and discipline • Market volatility is the price of long-term growth • Measure your progress against your own starting point • Focus on process, not market predictions • Quiet accumulation creates real wealth • Character matters as much as money • Emotional steadiness helps during uncertainty • Luck favours those who prepare well • Reinvest consistently over time and allow compounding to work its magic. • Avoid chasing shortcuts and quick wins   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time? ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

Rechtlich ist Deutschland queerfreundlicher denn je. Reicht das? Das BKA zählt immer mehr Straftaten gegen queere Menschen. Wie tolerant ist die Gesellschaft und wie frei ist queeres Leben zwischen Metropole und Provinz wirklich? Das diskutieren wir. Rahmlow, Axel www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Wortwechsel

O Aos Fatos desta quinta-feira (16) destaca a reação do governo brasileiro ao novo tarifaço imposto pelos Estados Unidos. O ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira, classificou a medida como injustificada e de motivação política, enquanto o Palácio do Planalto informou que recorrerá à Lei de Reciprocidade para responder às novas tarifas.

Most of us spend years trying to figure out money - what to do with it, how to invest it, how to make it work harder. But imagine if someone had taught you the fundamentals when you were a child.   Because here's what I've seen over the years - the families who build lasting generational wealth don't just accumulate assets. They pass on the mindset, the habits, and the financial literacy that lets the next generation take it even further.   So what if we could give our kids that advantage? What if we could raise children who grow up genuinely confident about money, investing, and building wealth - instead of spending their adult years trying to unlearn bad money habits?   And don't worry if you don't have children yet or are not planning to have children. There'll be lots in today's show to help you with your money habits.   My guest today - Sarah Megginson is one of Australia's most recognised personal finance experts, with over 20 years of experience in property, finance and investment journalism.  Her new book is called "How to Raise Rich Kids: Build Lasting Wealth for Your Children" - and it's a genuinely practical guide for any parent who wants to get this right, whether they feel totally on top of their own finances or are still working it out themselves.   In this episode I'm speaking with Sarah Megginson about raising financially confident kids and why money habits start earlier than most parents realise.   We unpack how children absorb money attitudes from home, and why your own behaviour shapes their financial future.   We discuss practical ways to teach budgeting, saving, and decision-making through everyday moments like shopping and family conversations.   We also look at how digital money, credit, and buy now, pay later can confuse young people without proper guidance.   Finally, we explore why the real legacy is not just wealth, but financial intelligence, confidence, and family values.   Takeaways   • Early money lessons at home shape children's habits long before adulthood. • Open conversations about money reduce fear and build financial confidence. • Children learn budgeting faster when they help compare real prices. • Digital spending removes friction, making impulse purchases easier to justify. • Buy now, pay later can hide debt from young people's awareness. • Parental stress around money often becomes children's emotional money blueprint. • Passing on financial intelligence matters more than handing over assets. • Involving kids in decisions builds responsibility and long-term confidence. • Reframing "we can't afford that" teaches values, not scarcity. • Regular family money talks help prevent silence, shame, and poor financial choices.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. •        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here     Sarah Megginson's Book How to Raise Rich Kids -  https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Raise-Rich-Kids-Children/dp/1923390244   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Property plan for your needs.

Přes deset let poukazuje na nástrahy, které mohou v Praze potkat turisty. Kromě podvodníků však Janek Rubeš se svým kolegou Honzou Mikulkou odhaluje i méně známá zákoutí metropole či zajímavé podniky. Sem tam se proto setkává s kritikou ze strany obyvatel, kteří mu za propálení „tajných“ míst, turisty spíše ignorovaných, nadávají. Sám ale považuje za úspěch, že zahraniční návštěvníci uvidí z Prahy i něco víc než jen Hrad a Karlův most. O tom, jak to dnes v českém hlavním městě vypadá, hovoří Rubeš v podcastu Slepá mapa.

Here's a question that makes almost every Australian a bit uncomfortable if they're honest with themselves.   Do you actually want housing to become more affordable, or do you just want it to become more affordable for your kids while your own home keeps growing in value?   That tension sits underneath almost every conversation about housing affordability in this country, and it's rarely spoken about directly.   By the end of this episode, you'll understand why affordability isn't really one problem but several problems wearing the same name, why a property crash wouldn't actually solve anything, and why the real path forward for Australia is a much slower and more deliberate one than most people expect.   In this episode I'm speaking with Simon Kuestenmacher, and we unpack why housing affordability is more complex than the headlines suggest.   We explore why affordability isn't one problem, but several issues hiding under the same label.   We discuss how a property crash would not fix the structural pressures driving Australia's housing debate.   We look at the tension between wanting cheaper homes for the next generation and preserving wealth in existing property.   We also examine why slower, more deliberate change is the only realistic path forward for Australia's housing future.   Takeaways   • Housing affordability includes income, supply, migration, and policy pressures all at once. • Rising property values can create wealth for owners while worsening access for first-home buyers. • A property crash would damage confidence, savings, and household balance sheets broadly. • Slow housing reform helps avoid panic while still improving long-term market stability. • Population growth continues to pressure demand even when new supply is expanding. • Affordability debates often mix emotional arguments with very different economic realities. • Existing homeowners may support change for others while resisting value declines themselves. • Demographic shifts strongly influence where demand grows across cities and regions. • Short-term headlines can distract investors from structural trends shaping future property performance. • Better decisions come from understanding trade-offs rather than chasing simplistic housing slogans.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How To Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio in your Spare Time? •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter her     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

What if someone handed you the answers before you sat the exam?   That's essentially what today's guest is doing.   After decades of personal property investing and working alongside hundreds of investors at Metropole, Adam Hubbard has distilled everything he's learned - the wins, the near-misses, and the lessons that only time and experience can teach - into 10 principles that could genuinely reshape how you approach building wealth through property.   These aren't theories. They're hard-won truths from someone who has lived through multiple market cycles, seen investors make the same costly mistakes over and over, and quietly built significant wealth by staying the course when others panicked.   By the end of this conversation, you'll know exactly what separates investors who achieve real financial independence from those who stay stuck, why the most successful investors often look boring compared to everyone else, and what Adam would do differently if he were starting out today.   Takeaways    • Mindset shifts are crucial for evolving as a successful property investor. • A clear investment plan is essential for navigating property markets effectively. • Long-term perspectives help investors outperform short-term market fluctuations. • Research is key to identifying high-growth property locations. • Effective debt management is both an art and a science. • Contrarian thinking helps investors ignore media hype and focus on fundamentals. • Building a professional team treats property investment as a business. • Market cycles and economic uncertainty require strategic navigation. • Inflation supports long-term property wealth creation. • Avoiding analysis paralysis is crucial for taking decisive investment steps.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Hace diez años que la francesa Pauline Croze publicó 'Bossa nova' con canciones como 'La rua Madureira', 'Tu verras', 'Você abusou' o 'Jardin d´hiver', canción que también escuchamos cantada por Simone en el disco 'Henri Salvador do Brasil' junto a 'Chambre avec vue', en las voces de Moreno Veloso y Flore Benguigui, y 'Uma canção doce' en la de Bebel Gilberto. La Metropole Orkest celebra 80 años de existencia, dirigida por Miho Hazama en el disco 'Arakatak', con obras de Mark Guiliana ('The most important question') o Donny McCaslin ('Luminosity'). Y la Metropole, bajo la dirección de Jules Buckley y arreglos de Darcy James Argue, acompaña a la cantante Cécile McLorin en el disco 'With every breath I take': 'Lush life', de Billy Strayhorn, 'Being alive' de Stephen Sondheim y 'Les parapluies de Cherbourg' de Michel Legrand y Jaques Demy.Escuchar audio

Vom Bülacher Sekundarlehrer zum Brückenbauer zwischen Kulturen. Pascal Affolter gründete in Kolumbien eine heilpädagogische Schule für Kinder mit Behinderungen und leitet heute die traditionsreiche Schweizerschule in Barcelona. Mitten in einer der vielseitigsten Städte Europas. Eigentlich wollte Pascal Affolter Diplomat werden. Stattdessen wurde der Bülacher Lehrer und zu einem Botschafter für Bildung. 1996 zog es ihn für ein Sozialprojekt nach Kolumbien. Dort erkannte er, dass Kinder und Jugendliche mit Behinderungen kaum Zugang zu Bildung hatten. Mit viel Engagement gründete er in Cartagena de Indias die heilpädagogische Institution «ALUNA» und baute sie mit viel Herzblut auf. Pascal Affolter lebte achtzehn Jahre in Kolumbien. 2007 übernahm er die Leitung der Schweizer Schule in Bogotá. Heute lebt er mit seiner Familie in Barcelona und steht als Direktor an der Spitze der renommierten Schweizer Schule «Escuela Suiza de Barcelona». Die Schule blickt auf eine über hundertjährige Geschichte zurück und verbindet Schweizer Bildungsqualität mit internationaler Offenheit. Sie steht nicht nur Schweizer Familien offen, sondern fördert auch den Austausch mit der lokalen Bevölkerung. «Hier treffen viele Kulturen aufeinander», sagt Pascal Affolter: «Das macht unsere Schule zu einem besonderen Lern- und Begegnungsort.» Barcelona als Lebensgefühl Mit seiner Familie lebt Pascal Affolter in der Nähe der Schule. An Barcelona schätzt er die kulturelle Vielfalt, die Nähe zum Meer, die ausgezeichnete Gastronomie und das mediterrane Klima: «Barcelona ist wie ein lebendiges Freilichtmuseum, in dem sich Menschen aus aller Welt begegnen.» Für ihn ist die katalanische Metropole der ideale Ort, um internationale Bildung und kulturellen Austausch zu leben.

Con 'Arakatak', la holandesa Metropole Orkest celebra 80 años de existencia: dirigida por Miho Hazama para obras encargadas a Morris Kliphuis ('Arakatak'), Vince Mendoza ('Bright lights and jubilation') o Donny McCaslin ('Luminosity'). También con la Metropole, en este caso bajo la dirección de Jules Buckley y con arreglos de Darcy James Argue, la cantante Cécile McLorin publica 'With every breath I take' que contiene clásicos como 'Sophisticated lady' de Duke Ellington, 'Send in the clowns' de Stephen Sondheim, 'Les parapluies de Cherbourg' de Michel Legrand y Jaques Demy, 'I´ll see you again' de Noël Coward o el que da título al disco. Y con otra orquesta, la NDR Big Band alemana, el brasileño João Bosco ha grabado 'Horda' con canciones suyas como 'Abricó-de-macaco' o 'Incompatibilidade de gênios'. Escuchar audio

Im zweiten Teil der Vorschau auf die Tour de France 2026 blickt Teammanager Ralph Denk zunächst auf den Streckenplan der Tour. „Es ist eine sehr ausgewogene und schwere Tour de France. Der Start in einer Metropole gefällt mir besonders gut und auch das Ende ist sehr gelungen“, sagt der 52-Jährige. Anschließend geht es um den Auftakt am Samstag. In Barcelona steht ein Mannschaftszeitfahren an, dabei ist die schnellste Einzelzeit der Richtwert für den Etappensieg. Denk blickt selbstbewusst in Richtung Tourstart. „Wir haben mit Remco Evenepoel den besten Zeitfahrer der Welt in unserem Team. Natürlich wollen wir in Barcelona gewinnen“, betont Denk. Im abschließenden Teil spricht er über die Favoriten auf den Gesamtsieg. Dabei ragt der Superstar des Radsports heraus. „Tadej Pogacar ist der ganz klare Favorit. Im Duell Mann gegen Mann ist er unter normalen Umständen nicht zu schlagen. Der Kampf ums Podium in Paris ist alles andere als ein Selbstläufer. Das wird extrem spannend“, sagt Denk abschließend.

House prices are falling across most of our capital cities right now, and the rate of decline is actually picking up speed.   Now, I know what the headlines are going to say about that. They'll call it a crash, a correction, a crisis — and frankly, most of those headlines will be written to scare you, not inform you.   So what's really going on? Is this the beginning of something serious, or is this just a market catching its breath after three extraordinary years of growth?   Today, I cut through the noise as I am joined by Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My Housing Market, who's been tracking Australian property cycles for decades. He's the person I turn to every month for the numbers that actually matter.   In this episode we discuss the latest shifts in Australia's property markets and what they mean for investors.   We unpack why capital city house prices are easing after a strong run, with higher rates, affordability pressure, and weaker confidence all playing a role.   We look at how Australia's property market remains highly fragmented, with some cities softening faster while others are still holding up well.   And we discuss why tight rental vacancies continue to push rents higher, even as buyers and sellers become more cautious.   We also explore why units are outperforming houses in many locations, and why that matters for investors navigating a winter market.   Takeaways    • Australia's market is pausing after strong gains, not entering a collapse. • Higher interest rates have reduced borrowing power and cooled buyer demand. • Affordability pressures are pushing many buyers out of expensive house markets. • Melbourne's top end has weakened, dragging broader median results lower. • Perth still shows strong annual growth despite a recent easing in momentum. • Units are outperforming houses in many capital city markets right now. • Low vacancy rates are continuing to put upward pressure on rents. • Chronic housing undersupply is the key long-term support for prices. • Strong migration is adding fresh demand to already tight housing markets. • Confidence usually returns before the spring selling season begins.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

You can be wealthy on paper and still feel poor in retirement. That's the challenge for many property investors: they're asset-rich, but their cash flow doesn't support the lifestyle they want.   That's why many investors think retirement means selling down the portfolio, paying off the debt, and living on what's left. But what if that's not the smartest strategy? What if the better outcome is keeping your best assets and restructuring around them?   That's what I discuss today with Dorian Traill, Wealth Planner at Metropole, who has been involved in property and finance since the late 1990s.   Dorian brings a rare combination of practical lending experience, strategic property thinking, and a deep understanding of how investors can move from the accumulation stage into retirement without making panic decisions.   Today we're going to discuss how investors approaching retirement can retain as many quality properties as possible by restructuring finance, improving cash flow, and making strategic asset decisions.   And even if you're nowhere near the retirement phase of your journey yet, today's show should be of interest to you to help you how to plan the path ahead.   Join us as we uncover strategies to preserve wealth and enhance your property portfolio.   Takeaways   • Retaining properties can lead to long-term capital growth and inheritance benefits. • Positive cash flow management is more crucial than eliminating debt entirely. • Early planning helps transition smoothly from growth to retirement phases. • Refinancing can turn negative cash flow properties into positive assets. • Interest-only loans can provide flexibility during financial transitions. • Selling underperforming assets can boost overall portfolio performance. • Self-managed super funds offer tax advantages for property investments. • Reverse mortgages can be a tool for accessing home equity in retirement. • Debt recycling can enhance cash flow and investment potential. • Strategic planning aligns financial goals with personal retirement aspirations.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •          Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. •          Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Most people think building wealth through property is about being smart enough to pick the right suburb, time the market perfectly, or analyse the data better than everyone else.   What if the most important lessons weren't about property at all?   Albert Einstein never bought a house as an investment. He never negotiated with a bank or agonised over a depreciation schedule. But buried in the things he said across his lifetime are some of the clearest, sharpest principles I've ever come across for thinking like a long-term investor.   In this episode, I speak with Joseph Ballota,  senior wealth strategist at Metropole and discuss why having too much information can be just as dangerous for property investors as having none at all, why the best investors are often the ones who know what they don't know, and why every downturn in property history has quietly created the next generation of wealthy Australians.   Joseph shares insights on the common mistakes investors make, such as emotional decision-making and analysis paralysis.   Join us as we delve into how changing your mindset can transform your investment outcomes.   Takeaways    • Understanding property investment as a process is crucial for long-term success. • Emotional decisions often lead to poor investment outcomes. • Building a knowledgeable investment team can prevent costly mistakes. • A clear strategy helps navigate market uncertainties effectively. • Acting counter-cyclically requires courage but can yield significant rewards. • Changing your mindset can lead to better investment decisions. • Analysis paralysis can hinder investment progress. • A strategic approach is essential for successful property investment. • The right team can help you see blind spots in your investment strategy. • Investing with a framework keeps errors manageable.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Das Wort zum Sonntag von Jörg Thadeusz

In Hongkong machte Claude Scheidegger aus Burgdorf (BE) eine steile Karriere in der internationalen Hotellerie. Heute lebt er mit Partner Steve und der gemeinsamen Tochter Zoe in Singapur und reist für seine Arbeit regelmässig nach China. Claude Scheidegger legte den Grundstein für seine Karriere an der renommierten Hotelfachschule in Lausanne. Dort wurde er früh von einer internationalen Hotelgruppe entdeckt: «Viele grosse Hotelketten rekrutieren direkt in Lausanne. So konnte ich die Chance nutzen und beim Mandarin Oriental in Hongkong einsteigen.» Fünf Jahre lang blieb die pulsierende Metropole sein Zuhause und wurde auch privat zum Wendepunkt: «In dieser Zeit lernte ich meinen Lebenspartner Steve kennen.» Heute lebt das Paar mit Tochter Zoe in Singapur: «Steve führt ein Family Office für ein angesehenes chinesisches Familienunternehmen», erzählt Claude Scheidegger. Beruflich ist er der Region treu geblieben: «Alle drei Wochen reise ich nach Hongkong, wo ich im Marketing- und Branding-Bereich für eine bekannte Hotelkette tätig bin.» So oft es geht, begleitet ihn seine Familie auf diesen Reisen und verbindet Beruf mit gemeinsamen Erlebnissen zwischen den Metropolen Asiens. «Singapur ist unglaublich familienfreundlich» Claude Scheidegger lebt mit seiner Familie in einem kleinen Wohnblock direkt beim botanischen Garten. Singapur sei äusserst sicher und besonders familienfreundlich, sagt der 30 Jährige: «Es gibt kostenlose Wasserparks, und der Zoo ist weltbekannt, vor allem für seine Nacht-Safaris, bei denen man wilde Tiere aus nächster Nähe beobachten kann.»

Most investors say they're long-term investors.   But then they check auction clearance rates every weekend, worry about the next interest rate decision, chase the latest hotspot, and get distracted by whatever the media says is working right now.   And that's a problem, because real wealth rarely comes from the investment that looks exciting today.   It comes from owning the right assets for long enough to let compounding do the heavy lifting.   In today's show, I'm going to chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss about what he calls "The Forever Test" - a simple but powerful filter for making better investment decisions.   We discuss how short-term media distractions can hinder true wealth creation.   And we highlight the significance of focusing on assets with strong fundamentals and staying power.   Join us as we delve into the power of compounding capital growth over decades.   Takeaways  • Long-term investment strategies reduce emotional decision-making and enhance wealth growth. • The "Forever Test" helps identify investments with enduring value and potential. • Compounding capital growth significantly increases asset value over extended periods. • Short-term market reactions often undermine long-term financial stability. • Strategic investors prioritise fundamentals over fleeting market trends. • Location and structural demand are crucial in property investment success. • Patience and discipline are key to navigating market volatility. • Quality assets in prime locations offer better long-term returns. • Emotional decision-making can lead to costly investment mistakes. • Understanding demographics aids in selecting investment-grade locations.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·         Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence, Persuade. ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Na nároží dnešního Rašínova nábřeží a Resslovy ulice stával secesní činžovní dům, který byl zničen při náletu v únoru 1945. Dalších 50 let byla na jeho místě jen nevzhledná proluka a k zástavbě se nikdo neměl. Počátkem 90. let přišel architekt Vlado Milunič s projektem, pro který se vžil název Tančící dům, protože jeho dvě dominantní věže připomínají slavný herecký a taneční pár Ginger Rogersovou a Freda Astaira. Provoz budovy byl zahájen 20. června 1996.

Nordisches Design, einzigartige Natur, eine Fahrradhauptstadt, die zeigt, wie Metropole wirklich für Menschen funktioniert, und ein Kunstmuseum direkt am Meer, das Michi zu einem der schönsten auf dem ganzen Planeten erklärt. Dänemark hat nur sechs Millionen Einwohner und soooo viel zu bieten.Tamina ist in eine Wachablösung gestolpert und hat festgestellt, dass Monarchie und Augenhöhe kein Widerspruch sein müssen. Michi will ein Smørrebrød essen (ein wahres Kunstwerk auf Brot), und das ganze Ding fällt ihm entgegen. Während Jochen alle nach Nordjütland schickt, an einsame Strände, wilde Küsten und Dünen, die größer sind als auf den deutschen Nordseeinseln.Dazwischen: eine Bahnfahrt, die am Meer entlangführt und schon die halbe Reise wert ist. Die idyllische Insel Lolland, von der die meisten noch nie gehört haben. Plus Roskilde, das legendäre Festival, das auf Glastonbury-Niveau spielt und all das an Musik und Kunst bietet, das man wirklich von einem Open Air will. –Bei „Bella Skandinavia" reisen Deutschlands bekannteste Urlaubs-Expertin Tamina Kallert (u. a. „WDR Wunderschön") sowie Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz von „Reisen Reisen – der Podcast" durch den magischen Norden Europas.

Most people have strong opinions about rich people.   They think the wealthy are lucky. Or greedy. Or born into privilege. Or somehow wired differently.   But here's the problem… if you believe any of that, there's a good chance you'll never build real wealth yourself.   Because those stories aren't just wrong – they're dangerous.   Today, Tom Corley and I discuss the common myths surrounding wealth and the psychology of successful individuals.   We discuss the importance of mindset, the role of luck, and the common misconceptions about intelligence and income.   We explain that wealth is not solely determined by high income or intelligence, but rather by behaviour, discipline, and the ability to learn from failure.   Our conversation also highlights the lifestyle choices of wealthy individuals and the significance of self-education in achieving financial success.   Takeaways   Wealth is primarily about behavior and time. Many believe rich people are just lucky, but luck is often created through persistence. It's not how much you make, but how much you keep that matters. Rich people do not necessarily live flashy lifestyles; they often prioritize experiences over material possessions. Failure is a common part of the journey to success; wealthy individuals often fail multiple times before succeeding. It's never too late to pursue wealth; taking action is crucial. Self-education is a key habit for building wealth. Many wealthy individuals are more ethical and philanthropic than the average person. Intelligence is not the sole determinant of wealth; emotional intelligence and resilience are equally important. Financial discipline and the ability to delay gratification are essential for wealth accumulation.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio in Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

If you've been following the headlines, you'd be forgiven for thinking property markets rise and fall on the back of interest rates, government policy, or the latest migration numbers.   But when you step back and look at what really drives long-term property performance, a different story starts to emerge.   In fact, the biggest driver of property values isn't what most commentators focus on at all.   In today's show I speak with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher about the real drivers of property markets.   We explore why employment, not just population growth, is crucial for property value growth.   Simon and I discuss how job quality and security influence housing demand and investment.   We analyse the impact of demographic trends and local economies on property strategies.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed investment decisions.   Takeaways   • Employment growth drives property values more than population increases. • Local economies and job security boost housing demand and confidence. • Dual-income households significantly impact property prices and market dynamics. • Infrastructure linked to jobs supports sustainable economic growth. • Industry diversity strengthens local economies and property markets. • High-income jobs in city centres attract property investment. • AI and hybrid work models reshape property location preferences. • Defense spending boosts property markets in specific regions. • Long-term planning is crucial for understanding job quality and local economies. • Skilled, high-income households drive property market growth.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of Negotiate, Influence, Persuade. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

The property market has just taken an interesting turn.   After a strong run, we're now seeing signs that higher interest rates, affordability pressures and buyer uncertainty are starting to bite.   But as always, the headline numbers don't tell the full story.   Some markets are slowing, some are still showing resilience, and underneath it all we still have the same big issue: Australia simply isn't building enough homes for the people who need them.   So today, Dr Andrew Wilson and I unpack what's really happening in our housing markets, what the latest end-of-month figures are telling us, and what this means for homeowners, investors and buyers as we move through the rest of the year.   Because the real question isn't just whether prices have risen or fallen this month.   It's whether this is a temporary pause, the start of a broader slowdown, or another example of Australia's property markets moving at different speeds.   Join us as we delve into the data to help you navigate the complexities of the property market.   Takeaways    • Recent interest rate hikes have led to a temporary decline in property prices. • Australia's property market remains fragmented, with some regions showing resilience. • Media narratives can significantly influence consumer sentiment and market behavior. • Strategic investment decisions are crucial in navigating market cycles. • The cyclical nature of the market presents opportunities for savvy investors. • Understanding regional differences is key to making informed property decisions. • The current market conditions may favor buyers looking for less competition. • Long-term growth prospects remain strong despite short-term fluctuations. • Changes in property taxes could dampen market activity temporarily. • The spring selling season may bring renewed activity in the housing market.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

It doesn't matter whether you own an investment property, whether you're renting, or whether you're desperately trying to buy your first home. This Federal Budget has just made your situation harder.   If you're a tenant, rents are already punishing. Vacancy rates are near record lows, and there simply aren't enough rentals to go around. The tax changes will lightly push rents even higher. If you're trying to buy your first home, you're already fighting a market that has taken the average deposit savings time out to over 11 years. The budget does nothing to fix the supply shortage that is keeping prices out of reach.   And if you're a property investor, the rules you planned around have just been rewritten mid-game.   What connects all three groups is this: Australia has a housing crisis that is fundamentally a supply problem, and the government is responding with a tax policy that does nothing to build a single new home.   In today's show, I speak with Senator Andrew Bragg, the Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness, who has been one of the most outspoken voices in Parliament on exactly this point.   By the time you finish this episode, you'll understand why these negative gearing and capital gains tax changes are going to hurt renters, first-home buyers, and investors alike, and what a genuine housing solution actually needs to look like. Join us as we uncover strategies for navigating the current property market landscape.   Takeaways  • Australia's housing crisis is primarily due to a shortage of supply. • Recent budget changes may increase financial pressure on renters and buyers. • Negative gearing reforms could discourage small investors from entering the market. • Capital gains tax changes might affect long-term investment strategies. • Migration policies need to align with housing supply to stabilise prices. • Superfunds becoming landlords could reshape the rental market landscape. • Strategic planning is crucial to avoid reactionary investment decisions. • Building more homes is essential to address affordability issues. • Government policies should focus on both demand and supply sides. • Understanding market fundamentals helps in making informed investment choices.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

There's a strange thing that happens to many property investors.   They'll spend hours worrying about tax, negative gearing, capital gains tax, trusts, land tax, and what the next government might change - yet they'll give far less thought to the quality of the asset they're buying, the level of debt they're taking on, or whether their portfolio is actually going to deliver the long-term returns they need.   And that's dangerous, because saving tax on a poor investment is still a poor investment.   In today's show I chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss about why investors who obsess over tax often miss the bigger picture.   Now, let me be clear…tax matters. Structures matters. Getting advice matters.   But tax is only one input into your investment system, and for many investors it's not the most important one. In fact, the drive to minimise tax can sometimes lead to decisions that cost far more than the tax they were trying to save.   Stuart Wemyss and I  discuss why focusing solely on tax savings can detract from the bigger picture of wealth creation.   We discuss the importance of selecting quality assets and the long-term benefits of strategic property management.   We delve into how proposed tax changes might impact investment strategies and how to adapt effectively.   Additionally, we highlight the significance of understanding internal rates of return and proactive asset management.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed investment decisions amidst changing policies and market conditions.   Takeaways  • Obsessing over tax can lead to poor investment choices. • Asset quality is more important than tax savings. • Long-term growth should be prioritised over short-term tax benefits. • Proposed tax reforms could impact property investment strategies. • Proactive management is key to maximising returns. • The five wealth levers are crucial for investment success. • Complex structures may not always be beneficial. • Balancing asset selection with debt management is essential. • Long-term thinking leads to better wealth creation. • Strategic property investment remains effective despite tax changes.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Aus dem Windschatten der Mailänder Häuserschluchten rauscht der Besenwagen hinaus in Richtung Bellinzona. Am dritten und letzten Ruhetag des Giro d'Italia schlagen wir das Lehrbuch auf und lesen nach dem Kapitel Jhonathan Narváez auf Etappe 11, zwei weitere Beispiele taktischer Finesse von Alec Segaert und Alberto Bettiol. Tim Rex fährt sich für Kapitän Jonas Vingegaard ins Delirium, und der Däne holt sich schließlich das Rosa Trikot an der Bergankunft nach Pila und fährt es tags darauf schon fast symbolisch als vermeintlicher Gesamtsieger nach Mailand. Aus der ersehnten Sprintankunft in der italienischen Metropole wurde aus Gründen keine. Der Norweger Fredrik Dversnes holt den ersten Giro-Etappensieg für Uno-X Mobility und feiert in Ekstase (im Extasia?).

Andrea Schwyzer wollte eigentlich Sportlehrerin werden, doch dann führte sie ihre Stimme zum Radio und die Liebe nach Hannover. Heute arbeitet sie als freie Hörfunkjournalistin, Autorin und Moderatorin vor allem für NDR Kultur: «Ich verstehe mich als moderne Geschichtenerzählerin.» Andrea Schwyzer aus Wollerau (SZ) hat ursprünglich Sport an der ETH Zürich studiert. Doch ihr Weg nahm eine überraschende Wendung. Ihre Radiostimme wurde entdeckt und sie moderierte viele Jahre bei einem lokalen Sender am Zürichsee. Ihr journalistischer Weg führte sie weiter ins Ausland mit Praktika bei der Deutschen Presse-Agentur DPA in Washington sowie bei der ARD in New York und London. Über die Musik kam auch die Liebe ins Spiel, sagt die 46-Jährige: «Bei einem A-Cappella Festival in der Schweiz, lernte ich meinen heutigen Partner kennen und zog zu ihm nach Hannover.» Johannes arbeitet als Musik- und Deutschlehrer an einem Gymnasium. Gemeinsam lebt das Paar mit ihrer Tochter und ihrem Sohn mitten im Zentrum «Vahrenwald-List» von der niedersächsischen Landeshauptstadt: «Hier ist man hauptsächlich mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs.» Mehr als nur Durchgangsstadt Hannover wird oft als blosse Durchgangsstadt belächelt. Doch hinter diesem Image verbirgt sich eine überraschend lebendige Metropole mit einer pulsierenden Kulturszene, sagt Andrea Schwyzer: «Es ist nicht nur die grünste Grossstadt Deutschlands, hier wurden schon früh die ersten Langspielplatten produziert.»

Eine versunkene Metropole, jahrhundertelang dem Vergessen überlassen - und heute ein spiritueller Sehnsuchtsort: In der neuen Folge begeben wir uns auf eine faszinierende Reise nach Hampi, eine der beeindruckendsten historischen Stätten Indiens.Einst war Hampi das glanzvolle Zentrum eines mächtigen Hindu-Reiches. Nach seinem Niedergang lag die Stadt rund 300 Jahre verlassen in der Landschaft, bis sie Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wiederentdeckt wurde. Heute ist Hampi ein Ort, der gleichzeitig mystisch, spirituell und irgendwie surreal wirkt. Zwischen riesigen Felsen, alten Tempeln und Palästen treffen sich Backpacker, Reisende und gläubige Hindus aus aller Welt.Vor genau 40 Jahren wurde Hampi in die Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes aufgenommen – eine Auszeichnung, die die außergewöhnliche kulturelle und architektonische Bedeutung der Tempelanlagen unterstreicht. Auch literarisch lebt die Geschichte weiter: Der britisch-indische Autor Salman Rushdie widmete dem untergegangenen Reich vor wenigen Jahren mit Victory City eins seiner Werke.In dieser Folge nimmt Reisejournalistin Charlotte Horn uns mit auf eine Entdeckungstour durch die mystischen Ruinen, erzählt von der bewegten Vergangenheit Hampis und schildert, warum dieser Ort bis heute eine so starke Anziehungskraft ausübt.Eine Folge über Lost Places, alte Reiche und die Frage: Was bleibt eigentlich, wenn eine ganze Stadt verschwindet?Lesetipp: „Victory City“, Roman von Salman Rushdie, erschienen im Penguin-Verlag, 2023:https://www.penguin.de/buecher/salman-rushdie-victory-city/buch/9783328602941Historischer Roman von Tirumala Devaraya:In the Empire of the God King by Tirumala Devaraya | Goodreadshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/237384871-in-the-empire-of-the-god-kingKurze Video-Dokumentation über Hampi (auf Englisch): What Made Hampi One of the Greatest Cities of Its Time?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMjVqBzSnGs Reise-Tipps Hampi – inklusive Hinweise für die Anreise:Hampi – Travel guide at Wikivoyagehttps://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/HampiCrosspromotion: Young Adventurers: INDIEN - Floßfahrt ins Unbekanntehttps://www.ardmediathek.de/video/young-adventurers-indien-flossfahrt-ins-unbekannte/young-adventurers-indien-flossfahrt-ins-unbekannte/ndr/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS9hYTM3ZDk1Yi0yZGNiLTQyZjUtODdhYS0yMzQxYjY2MWM3MzJfZ2FuemVTZW5kdW5n

For decades we've celebrated rising house prices in Australia. If your home was worth more this year than last, life felt a bit easier.   Politicians were happy, banks were happy, homeowners were happy.    But after 50 years of almost uninterrupted price growth, we need to ask a harder question: Is it actually good for us if housing just keeps getting more expensive?    The answer, of course, depends on who you are.    Because rising prices have created a lot of winners in Australia: homeowners, investors, banks, governments, tradies, and retailers.    But they've also created a growing group of losers – renters, younger Australians, essential workers, small businesses, and even the future middle class.   So today leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the question question almost no one in property likes to touch – not "will housing prices keep rising?" but "how expensive do we actually want housing to be?"    Takeaways   House prices double every decade. Homeowners and banks benefit from rising values. First home buyers face hidden costs. Government policies sustain high prices. Demographics reshape housing market. Property prices are political choices. Sustainable growth beats boom cycles. Baby boomer exits affect prices. Wealth disparity impacts society. Strategic planning ensures property wealth.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •         Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

Australia's property markets are still rising, but the cracks are starting to show.   Not the type of cracks that suggest a collapse, but the type that tell us the next stage of the cycle will reward careful, strategic investors and punish those chasing yesterday's hot spots.   According to Domain's latest House Price Report, most capital cities reached new highs in the March quarter, but the pace of growth has slowed sharply since late last year.   At the same time, Domain's Rental Report shows vacancy rates have fallen to a record low nationally, yet many renters simply can't afford to keep paying more.   So we have a fascinating contradiction. There's still not enough housing and there are still plenty of buyers and tenants.   But borrowing capacity and rental affordability are now acting like speed limits on the market.   Today I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Domain's Chief of Research and Economics, to help us understand what's really going on beneath the headlines, what this means for buyers, sellers, tenants and investors, and where the opportunities and risks are likely to be in the next stage of the cycle.   We explore how interest rate changes and government policies are influencing market trends and affordability.   We discuss the regional variations in property performance and the implications for investors.   And we analyse the impact of supply constraints and population growth on housing demand.   Join us as we provide strategies for navigating the evolving property landscape in Australia.   Takeaways  Interest rates are reshaping property market dynamics. Government policies impact housing affordability. Regional property performance varies significantly. Supply constraints drive housing demand. Population growth influences market trends. Strategic investing requires understanding local conditions. Long-term fundamentals support market resilience. Auction clearance rates reflect buyer sentiment. Rental markets face affordability challenges.

Most investors spend their time waiting for the market to do the heavy lifting.   But the more sophisticated investors don't wait. They create their own capital growth.   And in the current stage of the property cycle, that shift in thinking is becoming essential.   If you've been following the property markets lately, you'll know we're in a very different phase of the cycle.   The easy gains of the past are behind us, finance is tighter, and many investors are sitting on the sidelines, unsure what to do next.   But here's the thing… this is exactly the type of environment where experienced investors lean in, not step back.   Because rather than relying on market-driven growth, they focus on something far more powerful - manufacturing capital growth.   In this episode, I speak with Greg Hankinson about how strategic investors can manufacture capital growth in today's market.   We discuss the importance of creating value through renovations and strategic developments rather than waiting for market-driven growth.   Greg shares insights on avoiding common renovation mistakes and the significance of understanding area-specific demographics.   We explore how small-scale developments can be a powerful tool for wealth creation in uncertain times.   Join us as we provide strategies to navigate the current property cycle and make informed investment decisions.   Takeaways   Strategic investors "manufacture" growth, not wait for market changes. Renovations and developments add value beyond market appreciation. Avoid overcapitalization by understanding area-specific demographics. Small-scale developments offer wealth-building opportunities. Manufacturing growth is key in uncertain property cycles. Engage finance strategists for tailored project financing. Demographic shifts dictate future property market trends. High achievers focus on progress, not perfection. Strategic planning ensures long-term investment success. Understanding market fundamentals is crucial for property investors.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

There's never been more property data available to investors than there is today.   You can jump online and within minutes see median prices, growth rates, suburb rankings, sales histories, heat maps, demand scores and predictive analytics. It all looks impressive. It all looks scientific.   But here's the uncomfortable question…   What if most investors are using that data the wrong way?   What if relying on sales data alone is actually leading people into average suburbs, average properties, and very average long-term results?   Because while data tells you what happened, it doesn't tell you why it happened. And it certainly doesn't tell you what's going to happen next.   Today I'm joined by leading financial advisor Stuart Wemyss, to unpack why relying purely on property sales data could be a big mistake and what sophisticated investors should be doing instead.   We discuss the limitations of relying solely on historical sales data and emphasize the need for a balanced approach combining art and science.   We explore the core attributes of investment-grade properties, including scarcity, land value, and long-term performance.   Additionally, we highlight the significance of local knowledge and understanding street-by-street differences in property markets.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed business and investment decisions in the face of evolving market dynamics.   Takeaways  Data is valuable but incomplete without local insight and context. Focus on scarcity, location fundamentals, and long-term performance. Use a balanced approach combining art, science, and strategic planning. Local knowledge and experience outperform algorithms alone. Have a clear long-term strategy to navigate market cycles confidently. Understand the limitations of median suburb data. Differentiate between a good property and just a good deal. Recognize the importance of street-level distinctiveness. Use long-term evidence-based analysis for investment decisions. Avoid over-analyzing and maintain a strategic plan.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

If you own property in Australia right now, or you're thinking about buying, what we're going to share with you today could change how you think about where this market is heading.   You see, there's a bit of a disconnect in today's property market, and if you're only following the headlines, it's easy to miss what's really going on.   While prices are still rising and demand is holding up, underneath that, the dynamics are starting to shift.   Growth is slowing. Confidence is becoming more fragile. And the gap between the strongest and weakest markets is widening in a way we haven't seen for a while.   In fact, the latest data shows national house prices have now risen for 14 consecutive months and are up more than 10% over the year, yet the most recent quarterly growth was modest, reflecting a market that's still moving forward but clearly losing a bit of steam.   However, this is exactly the type of environment where experienced investors tend to do well, because when the market becomes fragmented, opportunities become more targeted rather than broad-based.   So today, Dr Andrew Wilson discusses the state of the current Australian property market, uncovering its fragile resilience amid slowing growth, regional disparities, and influential economic factors.     Takeaways    Fragmentation of markets signals opportunity for the strategic investor. Underlying fundamentals remain resilient despite sentiment shifts. Differentiating between segments reveals true market health. The cycle of market optimism and correction follows predictable patterns. Success seeds require active cultivation—passion triggers growth. Market noise distracts but fundamentals tune the real melody. Strategic patience combined with adaptability secures long-term wealth. Regional disparities create niches for targeted investments. Emotional energy fuels consistent action towards dreams. Long-term strategic planning mitigates risks in volatile markets.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

Most property investors think finance is just about getting a loan approved.   But in today's environment, that thinking can quietly cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars… or worse, stop you from growing your portfolio altogether.   Because the rules have changed. Lending policies are tighter, serviceability is harder, and one wrong move can lock you out of future opportunities.   So today, Dorian Traill, wealth strategist at Metropole, joins me  and we're unpacking how sophisticated investors are navigating finance in this new world.   We explore how understanding lender policies can enhance your borrowing capacity and investment strategies.   We discuss the impact of regulatory changes on lending and how to adapt your finance approach.   And we look at some of the benefits and challenges of using trusts and SMSFs for property investment.   Takeaways   Strategic risk management is key to financial growth. Aligning with lender policies boosts approval chances. Trusts and SMSFs offer unique investment opportunities. Avoid cross-collateralization to preserve flexibility. Early investment maximizes long-term growth. Tailored finance strategies enhance wealth building. Understanding lender buffers is crucial. Separate loans for properties reduce risk. Re-amortizing loans can ease financial stress. Partnering with a strategist unlocks potential.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

Most property investors think success comes down to buying the right property at the right price.   But the truth is… the real difference between successful investors and those who struggle has very little to do with the property itself.   It comes down to strategy.   Because the investors who build long-term wealth don't just buy property - they build a long-term property strategy which includes a financial buffer that allows them to ride out the ups and downs of the market.   In other words, they buy themselves time.   In this episode, Brett Warren and I explore the essential elements of successful property investing, beyond just buying the right property.   We discuss the importance of strategic planning, financial buffers, and long-term thinking to ride market fluctuations and achieve wealth.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed business and investment decisions in the face of market volatility.   Takeaways   Strategic planning is key to property success. Financial buffers manage market volatility. Long-term thinking aids wealth building. Property investing requires discipline. Buffers buy time during downturns. Tailored strategies outperform generic advice. Successful investors plan for uncertainty. Debt is a tool, not a liability. Flexibility supports long-term growth. Mindset differentiates top investors.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

You've probably noticed that some property markets surge ahead while others seem to tread water… even when the broader economic conditions are the same.   It's easy to blame interest rates, government policy, or media sentiment, but those factors only tell part of the story. The real drivers sit underneath all of that, and they're far more predictable if you know where to look.   In today's Wealth Retreat Conversations episode, I want to give you a taste of the type of thinking and insights you'll experience at Wealth Retreat, where leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher will be joining us as a keynote speaker.   Now, Simon doesn't just look at population growth or headline statistics. He digs much deeper into how different groups of Australians actually live, spend, and make decisions. And that's where things get interesting, because when you understand behaviour, you start to see where future demand is really going to come from.   Today we explore what Simon calls Australia's "demographic tribes" - the groups quietly shaping our housing markets, our economy, and ultimately your investment outcomes.   We discuss how household structure, age, and wealth influence demand, focusing on lifestyle groups like YOLO renters and Yummies.     Simon explains the significance of demographic behavior in forecasting market trends and the importance of people-driven insights over pure economic data.     We discuss the influence of generational changes on demand and investment strategies, highlighting the value of demographic research in strategic planning.     Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed business and investment decisions by understanding Australia's diverse tribes.   Takeaways   Understanding demographic tribes gives a strategic edge. Household structure influences property demand. Generational changes affect investment strategies. People-driven insights are crucial for success. Demographic behavior forecasts market trends. YOLO renters have unique property needs. Yummies are high-income, career-driven renters. Behavioral segmentation predicts future demand. Micro-communities shape economic trends. Demographic research aids strategic planning.   Links and Resources:   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: 'The Luxury''The Luxury' sits in the middle third of "Road Apples" and somehow that's exactly where it belongs. Track four of twelve. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't demand anything from you. It just settles in - dark, jazzy, a little snarling - and waits to see if you're paying attention. Turns out, a lot of people are.This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, jD is joined by three first-timers - Paul from Columbus, Jamie from LA (by way of Montreal, for the record), and Eric from Toronto, who also happens to shred guitar in Forever Hip. Three rookies. One song. Zero consensus on where it ranks on "Road Apples." All the consensus in the world on 'The Last Recluse.' So there's that.The tale of the tape: 'The Luxury' comes from "Road Apples," released February 18th, 1991, and recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans - Daniel Lanois' personal studio. Produced by Don Smith. Live debut: March 1st, 1991 at the Town Pump in Vancouver. Final performance: August 10th at the Air Canada Centre - the middle show of the Man Machine Poem Tour. It ranked #67 out of 169 songs on the TTHTop40 Countdown.The conversation goes deep:Jamie breaks down a single melodic note change Gord made on the chorus - from the studio recording through the Roxy in May '91 all the way to "Live Between Us" in '96 - and how that one shift changed the song's emotional register entirely. Eric reads the lyrics as a vignette: a man fresh out of prison, hiring company for the night, seeing a colour TV and soft water as genuine luxuries. Paul connects the song to the fire at his cottage near Tobermory, a Crown Royal in hand, just letting it sit. They get into the "fleur-de-lis" line, the Playboy reference, the lyric flip on "why are you partial to that Playboy con," and Gord's famous "song about a man walking down the street shaking a banana" intro on "Live Between Us." There's also a live chat shoutout to Duxoop Douglas for the New Orleans connection. Very good, yeah.The live shuffle at the end of the episode lands on 'An Inch, An Hour' from "Day for Night." Next week.Paul from Columbus is a lifelong Hip fan from Columbus, Ohio - and the guy who connected the July 1st, 1992 Molson Park poster to the raffle happening this Saturday at An Evening for Sara J. Bada bing.Jamie from LA - originally from Montreal, where his love for The Hip was first forged at camp in '89 via a mixtape with 'New Orleans Is Sinking' and '38 Years Old' on it - is heading to Toronto at the end of the month to perform in the cast of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish with English supertitles at the Elgin Theatre. May 25th to June 7th. Go see it.Eric from Toronto plays guitar in Forever Hip, who are performing this Saturday at An Evening for Sara J at the Firkin on Yonge. Patrick Downie will be there. Two sets of all your favourites and that song you're thinking of right now.
