Your Financial Future Imagine if the tiny money choices you make today quietly shaped the life you'll live someday. In this episode of LIFE'S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we continue our 8-week Wealth Formula Expanded Journey and take a deep look at “habits that heal” your money, your relationships, and even your health. You'll hear how simple 10-minute weekly check-ins, tiny course corrections, and honest tracking can shift you from hiding and hoping… to aware and empowered. We'll walk through the difference between “if only…” regret and “next time…” wisdom, so every money mistake becomes your mentor instead of your bully. You'll also discover why celebrating small wins—paying off a little card, packing your lunch, saying no to one purchase—creates real momentum toward your bigger financial goals. If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns or frustrated that “normal” money habits aren't getting you where you want to go, this conversation will help you build new bricks for a better future, one decision at a time. Join us as we guide you to build wealth wisely through real estate and daily habits that finally work for you, not against you.

Today, women live longer than men, but retire with far less money. And despite all the progress we've made, Australia's gender wealth gap remains stubbornly wide. Today I'm joined by Sarah Megginson, money expert and Head of Editorial at Finder, to unpack the insights from their 2025 State of Women's Wealth Report. We explore why women continue to fall behind financially, what drives the wealth gap beyond pay inequality, and most importantly, what women (and men) can do about it. You might be thinking, "Well, I'm not a woman — why does this affect me?" I think you really should listen to today's show because financial security isn't just about individuals. It's about families. Communities. Generations. When women build wealth, everyone benefits: More kids grow up in financially secure homes. More wealth gets reinvested into our economy. More retirees live independently, not dependent on government handouts. This is all about building a stronger, fairer, wealthier Australia.   Takeaways  ·         Women hold 40% less net wealth than men. ·         The gender pay gap begins in primary school. ·         Women are more likely to work part-time, affecting their superannuation. ·         Education is crucial for financial empowerment. ·         Cultural shifts are changing financial goals for younger generations. ·         The sandwich generation faces unique financial challenges. ·         Women over 50 are at a higher risk of homelessness. ·         Negotiating pay remains a hurdle for women. ·         Small financial steps can lead to significant changes. ·         Parents play a vital role in shaping children's financial attitudes.   Chapters  00:00 Introduction to Women's Wealth Report 04:36 Understanding the Gender Wealth Gap 07:28 The Impact of Career Breaks on Women's Finances 13:04 The Role of Parenting in Financial Education 18:46 The Sandwich Generation: Balancing Care and Career 21:25 Risk of Homelessness for Women Over 50 24:14 Taking Control of Your Financial Future 29:29 Empowering Women to Manage Money   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 – What's ahead for property for 2025 and beyond.   Finder's State of Women's Wealth Report https://www.finder.com.au/insights/state-of-womens-wealth-report-2025  Sarah Megginson - money expert and Head of Editorial at Finder https://www.finder.com.au/author/sarahmegginson  Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au

Avoid the investor's curse of courtroom drama: How couples can legally separate without the cost, stress or conflict. In Part 2 of this important conversation, Bushy Martin continues his chat with Ian MacLeod to unpack how couples can take control of their property settlement and superannuation split—without stepping foot in a courtroom. Ian reveals the three legal pathways available for separation property splits, highlighting how Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) can help couples sidestep expensive legal battles and court-imposed decisions.

What you’ll learn: The 3 legal pathways to manage separation property splits Why Binding Financial Agreements put control back in your hands How to avoid stamp duty and CGT with the right structure The legal requirement for superannuation splitting How much it actually costs to create a BFA (hint: it’s not $20K) Why full financial disclosure is essential—and how hiding assets could land you in serious legal trouble About Ian Macleod: Ian is the founder of RP Emery, a legal publishing company that bridges the gap between couples and complex legal systems. With 15+ years of experience, Ian empowers couples to craft mutually beneficial financial agreements that avoid the cost and conflict of court.

The invisible threat that could derail your financial freedom — and how to protect yourself before it’s too late. In this real and raw episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin opens up the conversation on one of the greatest unspoken risks to financial independence: relationship breakdown. Through a raw recount of his own divorce and the decades-long impact it had on his family, health and finances, Bushy highlights why love alone isn’t always enough to safeguard your future. He’s joined by Ian Macleod from RP Emery, a seasoned legal publishing professional who helps couples create clear, fair, and legally binding Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs)—without the stress or cost of traditional law firms. Together, they explore why BFAs are not about planning for failure, but about preserving trust, protecting assets, and preventing emotional and financial devastation. From the monkey jar analogy to plain-English contracts, Ian and Bushy reveal how proactive agreements can be the difference between long-term freedom and years of financial regret. In this episode, you’ll discover: The shocking stats behind divorce and its financial fallout Why long-term property plans are vulnerable to relationship breakdown How BFAs work to protect both parties — and why they’re a sign of trust, not distrust How Ian Macleod helps couples create simple, understandable legal agreements Why taking action while in love is the best investment in your future Stay tuned for Part 2, where Bushy and Ian unpack BFAs for couples navigating separation and how to stay out of the courtroom.

Rentvesting offers first-home buyers a unique way to get on the property ladder, but what about the tax implications? In this episode, we sit down with Catherine Simons, a seasoned tax accountant, to explore the nitty-gritty of how rentvesting can work in your favour financially. If you’re wondering about deductions, depreciation, and capital gains tax, you’re in the right place. We unpack the key differences between owning a home to live in and purchasing an investment property. We also explain concepts like negative gearing and how depreciation can be a cash-flow booster—even if the property is positively geared. We cover why planning is everything, from resetting valuations to understanding which expenses you can claim now versus those that get capitalised over time. For first-home buyers, we discuss common scenarios, like living in a property before renting it out versus renting first and moving in later. These situations come with vastly different tax rules, and Catherine shares practical tips to avoid costly mistakes. Her advice? Always keep detailed records and have the right experts guiding you. Sure, rentvesting can be a smart strategy for entering the property market, but it’s crucial to approach it with careful planning and the right advice. And this episode highlights the importance of understanding tax rules, making informed decisions, and working with professionals to maximise benefits while avoiding costly mistakes.

Securing generational wealth has never been more critical in today's rapidly evolving financial landscape. It's not just about safeguarding our financial future; it's about leaving behind a legacy that can provide security and opportunity for generations to come. In this episode, we dive into the Family Banking Formula concept on The Money Advantage podcast. The insights are empowering and transformative, and I'm excited to share them with you. https://www.youtube.com/live/FZTDxocCGwY We will guide you through the key strategies discussed in the podcast, from the concept of the family banking formula to the strategic use of whole life insurance. My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and motivation to take control of your financial future, ensuring that you not only secure wealth for yourself but also create a lasting legacy for your family. The Power of the Family Banking Formula: Building a Financial LegacyGenerational Wealth Through Whole Life Insurance: A Strategic AssetPersonal Banking Within the Family: Creating a Private Financial EcosystemThe Mechanics of the Family Banking Formula: How It WorksLeveraging Life Insurance for High-Net-Worth Wealth BuildingStability and Risk Management: The Strength of Insurance CompaniesTake Control of Your Financial Future with the Family Banking Formula The Power of the Family Banking Formula: Building a Financial Legacy The core idea behind the family banking formula is to take control of the banking function in your life instead of relying on traditional banks. We use specially designed whole life insurance policies to manage our family bank. At the heart of how we have personally implemented this concept is the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC), which is a strategy that allows individuals to become their own bankers. One of the key benefits of family banking is the ability to pool resources within the family. Imagine a system where you and your family members can borrow money from the family bank to fund various endeavors, whether it's starting a business, paying for education, or purchasing a home. By doing this, you keep the wealth within the family, allowing it to grow through uninterrupted compound interest. This approach not only benefits you and your immediate family but also sets up future generations for financial success.  Successful family banking isn't just about having the right financial structures in place—it's about adopting the right mindset, teaching future generations financial literacy, and providing accountability and mentorship, which are crucial for making the most of family banking. Family banking offers unparalleled access to liquidity, better returns, and reduced taxes. But more importantly, it fosters a mindset that views the family as a cohesive financial unit and promotes long-term financial independence. Imagine your family as a corporation, where each member plays a crucial role in building and maintaining financial health. By pooling resources and making strategic decisions together, your family can achieve financial goals that might seem out of reach if tackled individually. This approach strengthens family ties and lays the groundwork for a legacy of wealth, value creation, and financial literacy that can be passed down through generations. This fits well with the definition of legacy in my book Seven Generations Legacy: Design a Multigenerational Legacy of More Than Money. The definition is: “The character, values, and financial means to live life on your terms that are modeled, taught, stewarded, and given from one generation to the next.” To take it one step further, a perpetual legacy is family wealth and flourishing that grows with each successive generation. Generational Wealth Through Whole Life Insurance: A Strategic Asset One of the podcast's most impactful revelations is the strategic use of whole life insurance to build and preserve generational wealth. Unlike term life insurance,

Rodrigo Cuesta is a Medical Doctor and Surgeon who could not find a good job despite having a great CV. This led him to entrepreneurship and he founded his first company in Telehealth. He sold that and blew 50% of the money trying to invest in different things with leverage. The rest of the money was invested in a venture studio that also got acquired. All of that reward was converted into Bitcoin and Rodrigo never looked back. He stopped being a speculator and is now following a low-risk strategy to accumulate more Bitcoin. → Follow Rodrigo on https://twitter.com/Roxqsta

This conversation explores the relationship between time and money and how they impact our lives. The host emphasizes the importance of understanding this relationship and how it can lead to a better and more fulfilled life. The chapters cover topics such as the role of time in wealth building, the implication of time in our financial future, maximizing money and understanding life's purpose, using money to gain more time, overcoming scarcity mindset, investing in oneself, the power of mentorship, and changing mindset to spend money wisely. Takeaways Time is a crucial factor in wealth building, with compound interest over a long period being the key to significant growth. Maximizing money should not be the sole focus; it is important to have a clear goal and purpose for financial success. Using money to gain more time can lead to a more fulfilled life. Overcoming scarcity mindset and investing in oneself is essential for financial growth. Mentorship can provide valuable insights and accelerate one's journey to success. Changing mindset to view money as a tool for gaining time can lead to a more prosperous and fulfilling life.     Chapters: 00:00The Importance of Time and Money 02:05The Role of Time in Wealth Building 04:09The Implication of Time in Your Financial Future 06:01Maximizing Money and Understanding Life's Purpose 07:27Using Money to Gain More Time 08:24Overcoming Scarcity Mindset and Investing in Yourself 11:20The Power of Mentorship 12:44Changing Mindset and Spending Money Wisely 15:08Spend Money to Get More Time Back

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, June 12, 2023. Today's episode will be a replay of a podcast I did on November 14, 2022 titled "Are You Worried about Your Financial Future?" _________________________________________ Originally published and broadcast on Monday, November 14, 2022 . . . If you've had your eyes open at all, you know about the predicted food shortages and famines, the projected stock market crash, and the move toward a digital world currency. All of these ominous events are causing great anxiety among the world population. Already I've read that some families here in America have reduced their daily meals to two a day instead of the usual three. Drought has ruined many crops throughout the world, and, if things don't change, the world is heading to famine. But today I'd like to encourage you not to be anxious nor to fear,  I'm going to share with you some promises from God for His children. (If you are not His child, then listen closely so you can become His child and receive these benefits as well.) The world is fast heading into a time period that the Bible calls "the time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30: 7). This will be a seven-year time period, also known as the Tribulation, during which God will judge the Jews for rejecting the Messiah. The Book of Revelation speaks extensively of the time of Jacob's trouble. During this time, there will be widespread famine. The fact that we are witnessing the approach of global famine now means that the Tribulation is not far off, and the return of Jesus is even closer. The Bible tells us that Jesus will return to remove His followers from the earth before the Tribulation. He said that when we see all these things converging—wars, rumors of wars, increase in the number and intensity of earthquakes, violent storms, and food shortages—we can know that His return is imminent. So, what can you do? 1. The most important thing you need to do is to get born again if you are not yet born again. What does the term "born again" mean? It means to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord so that you can experience the new birth He died to give you. You see, when we were born physically into this world, we received a fallen, corrupted spirit that separated us from God. Jesus wants to give us a new spirit that connects us back to God. Jesus died and paid the price for the sin that caused our corrupted spirits in the first place and, in exchange, He gives us eternal life. So, the first order of business is to get born again. Do it now! How? 1. Acknowledge before God that you are a sinner. 2. Repent of your sin. This means turn away from it and go in the opposite direction.  3. Receive Jesus into your heart by asking Him to come in. Once you do these three things, you become a child of God (John 1: 12). And as His child, You become eligible for His blessings. One of His blessings includes financial provision. He promises in Philippians 4: 19 that He will supply all your need. This means that He will provide everything you need because yo...

Taking Control of Your Financial Future for You and Your Business Mark Willis is a man on a mission to help you think differently about your money, your economy and your future. After graduating with six figures of student loan debt and discovering a way to turn his debt into real wealth as he watched everybody lose their retirement savings and home equity in 2008, he knew that he needed to find a more predictable way to meet his financial objectives and those of his clients. Mark is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, a THREE TIME #1 Best Selling Author, the Owner of Lake Growth Financial Services, a financial firm in Chicago, Illinois and co-host of the Not Your Average Financial Podcast. Over the years, he has helped hundreds of his clients take back control of their financial future and build their businesses with proven, tax-efficient financial solutions unknown to most financial gurus. He has become known as “Not Your Average Financial Planner!” What problem do you solve? The greatest financial challenge facing every business owner and American – Banking. Show Notes: It's important to think about what you want your money to do for you or else everyone else will tell your money what to do (i.e. McDonald's, Apple, Netflix). Build your wish list then make a plan. The “Arrival Syndrome” is the worst virus that has effected humans. It is the thought that you have arrived at the best of what you can do. The biggest problem you have in business are silent partners – Uncle Sam and The Bank. The Bank – Debt is one of the oldest institutions in human history. The bank can suck profits off our back. Uncle Sam – As a business owner, the the tax bill is the largest expense over your lifetime. To make sure your minimize your tax bill, make sure your money isn't taxed in retirement. Money We want it to be liquid. We want it to be tax-advantaged. We want it to a passive income in retirement. We want it to be a source of money we can use like a bank for ourselves. The bank on yourself strategy helps minimize your bank bill and your tax bill. This is done through life insurance policies. *** You must do this with the advice of a certified financial planner. The founders of JCPenney, Disney and McDonalds have used this method. We haven't heard about this because banks and WallStreet don't want us to know about this. The policy has to be designed a certain way to be able to do this.

Jessie has been quoted saying “I believe everyone has a story, everyone has trials, everyone has tribulations but in the end, it is about finding the truth inside of you and not denying it… following my light has led me to ‘riches', yes, but what really matters is my soul feels rich. Never measure your success by the size of your bank account, measure your success by the peace in your soul.” Video Version: https://youtu.be/MfsLUcs-sxg Call in with a comment or Chat with Teresa during Live Show with Video Stream: Call 646-558-8656 ID: 8836953587 press #.  To Ask a Question press *9 to raise your hand.
