Before you buy your next investment property, ask yourself one question: Can I safely hold it? In Part 2 of the Examination stage finale of Bushy Martin’s Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock, Bushy completes the B.E.A.R. Facts by tackling the two factors that ultimately determine whether an investment becomes a wealth builder—or a financial burden: Affordability and Risk. Many investors spend their time chasing hotspots, borrowing limits and tax advantages, yet overlook the simple reality that getting into property is only the wedding photo—holding it is the marriage. Against the backdrop of Australia’s new post-Budget property tax changes, Bushy explains why sustainable investing has become more important than ever. Rather than reacting to headlines about negative gearing, capital gains tax or SMSF borrowing restrictions, successful investors focus on building strategies that can withstand interest rate rises, unexpected expenses, policy changes and life’s inevitable surprises. This episode also brings together the complete Property Purchase Price Power framework, helping listeners understand why buying power isn’t simply what the bank will lend, but what you can comfortably fund, protect and hold over the long term. Bushy also unpacks four of the biggest traps that quietly derail investors, and explains why today’s changing investment landscape doesn’t eliminate opportunity—it simply demands smarter planning, stronger buffers and better decision-making. In this episode you’ll discover: Why holding a property matters far more than simply buying one The difference between bank affordability and lifestyle affordability Why Affordability and Risk complete the B.E.A.R. Facts How to calculate your true Property Purchase Price Power The four investor traps that quietly undermine long-term wealth Why today’s tax and policy changes require better planning—not panic How to think about buffers, cash flow and sustainable portfolio growth Why successful investors manage risk instead of trying to eliminate it How the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock provides a proven roadmap for building lasting wealth With the Examination stage now complete, Bushy is ready to move into the next stage of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock: Approach—where strategy begins to turn into action. If you’re serious about building wealth through property, this episode will help you stop asking what you can buy, and start focusing on what you can successfully hold for the long term.

Jennifer and Jacques have a closer look at why citizens are losing faith in political systems and processes, and the idea that democracies are working in their interests. This is a world-wide trend.Meanwhile, on the home front, tone-deaf representatives of wealth and power tell a senate committee looking into tax changes, why they should pay lower tax to normal income earners. Against all the evidence to the contrary, they argue that tax breaks make them more productive and lead to them contributing more to society.ReferencesJoseph Stiglitz 2019, People, power and profits: Progressive capitalism for an age of discontent, Great Britain, Allen Lane.Richard Sennett 1977, The fall of public man.Transcripts of 2-day senate hearing regarding tax changes
Self-managed super funds have been out of favour for a while. With low-cost industry funds, better online platforms and more compliance to deal with, plenty of Australians decided SMSFs were not worth the effort. So why is everyone talking about them again? In this episode, Paul looks at why recent tax changes could make superannuation even more important in Australia's wealth-building landscape, and why that has some people taking a fresh look at self-managed super. Not because SMSFs are suddenly right for everyone, but because when the rules around other wealth-building structures change, the way you hold and manage your retirement savings starts to matter more. In this episode: Why SMSFs are back on the radar What the tax changes could mean for wealth builders Why super may matter more than ever When control over your super starts to become more appealing The hidden trade-off that comes with running your own fund Why an SMSF is not the right move for everyone What to think about before deciding your current setup is no longer enough If you've dismissed self-managed super in the past, this episode gives you a reaason to revisit the question.

The conversation begins with a comprehensive Nepal Budget Analysis, exploring the government's fiscal priorities, budget allocation strategy, and the economic direction reflected in Budget 2082.

A tax expert says it's good to draw a line under recent changes to charity rules. This year's Budget tweaks the Research and Development Tax Incentive, simplifies the fringe benefit tax, and expands the Foreign Investment Fund rules to all taxpayers. It also caps the tax credits that can be received on not-for-profit donations. Deloitte tax partner Robyn Walker says it's still very generous by international standards. She says you can still donate $100,000 and get a $33,333 tax credit - and only a small number of people donate above that. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Holman welcomes Trey Williams, CPA and Principal Director, Maner Costerisan, Lansing, MI. Trey Williams, CPA and Principal Director of Maner Costerisan — a full-service public accounting and business advisory firm headquartered in Lansing, Michigan since 1906 — appeared on Michigan Business Beat to discuss the firm's recent recognition. The company received four awards, including being named a Best Place to Work by both *Accounting Today* (for the ninth year) and *Crain's Detroit*, as well as being selected among the top firms in Inside Public Accounting's survey of companies with over $10 million in revenue. Williams attributed these honors to the firm's culture of investing in employee well-being and career development, which in turn drives strong client service and low turnover. The firm's stated mission is "enabling others to reach their potential" — encompassing both their team and their clients, as well as giving back to the community. Williams also briefly noted that significant IRS and tax changes are expected, promising to return to the show to walk clients and listeners through the details. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
