1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: She's on the Money. She's on the Money. 2 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast 3 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: for the millennials who want financial freedom. As we've mentioned on 4 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: the podcast quite a few times before, cracking the property 5 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: market in Australia is no easy feat and it does 6 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: seem especially hard at the moment as house prizes climb 7 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: higher and higher in certain pockets of the country. While 8 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 2: there are, of course plenty of benefits to buying your 9 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: own home, the many young Australians, the prospect of doing 10 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: so just isn't feasible. So what are the benefits to 11 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: renting forever? Can we still achieve a future of financial 12 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: freedom without attaining the old school Australian dream of home ownership. 13 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: My name is Georgia King, and joining me to answer 14 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: these questions and more is financial advisor Victoria Divine Foo. 15 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: Hello. Hello all. 16 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: That was a long. 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 3: Intro, my proper serious and I didn't did interrupt you, 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: So I'm proud of you. Thanks, I love it. 19 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: Thanks do Can you tell us straight off the top, 20 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: what is happening with the Australian housing market right now? 21 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: What is going on? It seems like it's exploding and 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: it's just overwhelming and hard, and to be honest, it's 23 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 3: one of those things where we're just going through a 24 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: property boom and that's okay. It doesn't mean that property 25 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: is always going to be unaffordable, but it's one of 26 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: those things that I think it makes us feel a 27 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: lot of pressure because you go, I'm never going to 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: achieve this, and this is really scary and just looking 29 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 3: at the start. Since the start of twenty twenty one, 30 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: in Sydney the average dwelling price has gone up by 31 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: seventeen point seven percent and in Melbourne it's up eleven 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: point one percent. That is a lot of money. Like, 33 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: that's some pretty good investment returns if you already own 34 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: an investment property. Though nice for you if you're already there. 35 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: We are not those people. Georgia, though. The price of 36 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: property in Australia is actually rising at the fastest rate 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: in over seventeen years, which is crazy, and there are 38 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: a few reasons for this. One is historically low interest 39 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: rates and increased borrowing capacity. So as you know, Georgia, 40 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 3: in our community, a lot of people are complaining about 41 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: their savings accounts having less interest payable and remember how 42 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: sexy it was like literally twelve months ago, maybe a 43 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: little over twelve months ago, we were talking about how 44 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: good it was that, like up Bank had two point 45 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: five percent interest rates, and I know that that was 46 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 3: really sexy. But those things never last because if bank 47 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: interest rates are decreasing on how much they're willing to 48 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: pay you on your savings account, it means that the 49 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 3: same is actually going to be truth for mortgages. So 50 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 3: it's a good thing and a bad thing. I mean, 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: our savings aren't performing as well as they could, but 52 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: our property is more accessible. In saying that, given property 53 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: prices are growing at the fastest rate that they have 54 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: in the last seventeen years, I would argue that they're 55 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: may be not as accessible as they used to be. 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 3: On top of that, government incentives like the first home 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: buy ideals that are around a negative gearing. Those are 58 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: all things that we are really seeing impact the really 59 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: strong sturges in property price. I think added to that, 60 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 3: we've got all of the lockdowns we've been going through, 61 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: people wanting to upgrade their homes to make them more 62 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: comfortable because of the uncertainty that exists around You know, 63 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: how long am I going to be stuck in a home. Okay, 64 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: now I can work remotely, maybe we should actually buy 65 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: a house, but we can afford to buy something a 66 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: little bit further out because we're no longer traveling to 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: work every day, because we get to work from home. 68 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: I think there are a lot of reasons playing into 69 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: it as well as and this is just my opinion, fomo. 70 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: So people knowing that during lockdowns we can't purchase, so 71 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 3: there seems to be a strong surge straight after lockdowns 72 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: of property being sold, which I think is really interesting. 73 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: But I think the most important thing to remember here 74 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: is completely unsustainable. 75 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: Like which means it won't last forever. 76 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: No, it won't last forever because it can't like it 77 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: can't like Georgia. At the moment, it's obviously unobtainable for 78 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: so many of us, and we are now being asked 79 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: to save ridiculous amounts for home deposits. And I think 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: if we look at historically what homes used to cost, 81 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: and you know, you can argue with me about inflation, 82 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 3: and you know the rising costs of wages, but to 83 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: put this in perspective, historically a property might have cost 84 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 3: you like two times your annual salary, and now properties 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: are costing between ten and fifteen times our annual salary, 86 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: which obviously makes it harder to obtain, but also harder 87 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: to pay off, harder to create wealth with, and harder 88 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: to access. It's not as though these things are comparable. 89 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: And I know so many people will go, oh, yeah, 90 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: that they used to have lower wages. Yes, they also 91 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: had increased interest rates, like interest rates on property where 92 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: my parents first bought were up in the twenties, and 93 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: we are now at a point where it's two percent, 94 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: which means it should be more affordable. But the comparison 95 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: between how much it costs us relative to our incomes 96 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: is so significantly higher these days that I don't think 97 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: it's sustainable going forward. Like it's already ten times our 98 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: salary Georgia to buy in Melbourne. Imagine if it was 99 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: twenty we genuinely couldn't afford it, like most people can't 100 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: at this point in time afford to get into the 101 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 3: property market. And I think it's fair, and that's why 102 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 3: we are now talking about what renting forever actually means. 103 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: So just on that v are you are you saying 104 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: that it's not sustainable because people literally can't enter the 105 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: home buyers market anymore, So the prices will just have 106 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: to come down because they won't be that demand because 107 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: we just can't do it. 108 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: Is that I think that they'll cap out. So what 109 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: I'm saying is they absolutely cannot continue to grow at 110 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: the same rate that they have for the last year 111 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: and even for the last thirty years, because it becomes unaccessible, 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: like we aren't actually going to have people to buy 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: the properties. And property is based on supply versus demand. 114 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: So if there's a supply and a demand, it is 115 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 3: going to increase the property prices. But how much supply 116 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 3: isn't going to matter if the demand isn't there because 117 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 3: we can't afford the property. Yeah, Like if I said 118 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: to you, Georgia, all right, well we want to buy 119 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 3: a property, and you've got a really normal salary, and 120 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 3: you want to buy a property with your partner, you 121 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: both have really normal salaries, how much is that going 122 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: to cost? And I said it's going to be three 123 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: million dollars as a start point. You go cool. I 124 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: can't afford that. I'll never be able to mount that, 125 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: especially as a first home. So I think that we 126 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: need to remember that at some point it will tap out. 127 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: But also what if we didn't want to buy property 128 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 3: in the first place. 129 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: Exactly, And that's kind of what we're talking about today 130 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: because we do often assume that having property is the 131 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: Great Australian dream, but technically. 132 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: Is the great Australian dream because that's historically what we've 133 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: been fed and what we've been told is really important 134 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: and what we should. 135 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: Value exactly, But it's not necessarily what we all actually want, 136 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: which leads me to my next question. V. Because you recently, 137 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: relatively recently bought a home I did. You've said on 138 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: the podcast before that property wasn't a priority for you. You 139 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: didn't see it necessarily as the bill and end all 140 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: from an investment or financial perspective. So can you talk 141 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: to us about why that is and why property isn't 142 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: necessarily the best investment out there. 143 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I am just going to preface this because I 144 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: know I'm incredibly privileged to be able to do that, 145 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: and the way you explained that makes it sound like 146 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, like, oh, just buy 147 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: a property, because they can't know that absolutely wasn't the case. 148 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: I bought a property with my partner Steve because it 149 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: was a really big value set of his. I had 150 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: always thought of property as something that was a really 151 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: large commitment that I wasn't necessarily sure I wanted to 152 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: commit to. As you know, I am a financial advisor, 153 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: so I have done all of the stats and maths 154 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: behind it. So I'd worked out that, you know, if 155 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: I invested my money in the shares that I was 156 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: investing in instead of purchasing property for me financially, that 157 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 3: was going to work out better long term. And it 158 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 3: also to me felt like less of a commitment. And 159 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: I could, you know, at that point in time live 160 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: the life that I wanted. I had a boyfriend, Steve, 161 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: and we were renting together. We lived in a really 162 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: nice townhouse. To me, there was actually just no reason 163 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: to purchase. But one of his core values and one 164 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: of his biggest money goals was to purchase a home. 165 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: And when you get into a relationship, you need to 166 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: make sure that you're on the same page and share 167 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: your money goals and share your aspirations. And because I 168 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: knew that it was such a big factor for him, 169 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 3: I also took on that and was like, yep, okay, 170 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: no problems, Like, let's make that a money goal because 171 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: in all honesty. His happiness is also my happiness, and 172 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 3: I know that's really sappy. But we started saving really 173 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: aggressively to achieve that goal, So you're right, I see 174 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: on both sides of the fence. As a homeowner, yep, great, 175 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: But did you know I also got my rates bill 176 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: recently and it's close to three and a half thousand 177 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: dollars and that is a lot of money to have 178 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: to pay for rates. Like, I don't want to be 179 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 3: somebody else's landlord, so to me, property wasn't the sexiest 180 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: of options because I also didn't like the idea of debt. 181 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: But it was his and we've done that, and I'm 182 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: really happy and I'm really grateful, and you know, as 183 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: I said before, we both really privileged to have been 184 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: able to save and actually purchase a property. I mean, 185 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: it's definitely within our means. As you've seen Georgia. We 186 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: have a delightful broken red kitchen and some very unattractive bathrooms. 187 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: But we'll work on that as we start saving and 188 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: actually put it that into the budget. So that's not 189 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: the priority for right now. But you're right. I've always 190 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 3: said I would prefer to rent, and the reason I 191 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 3: would prefer to rent is because I see better returns 192 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: in another place. For myself personally, I think that there 193 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 3: might be a little bit of difference around this episode 194 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 3: and what people are expecting from it because we're talking 195 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: about renting forever as a choice, not renting forever because 196 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: you have to. Because I think that the important thing 197 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 3: here is in Georgia, I know you're going to get 198 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: into the stats before, is that if you look at 199 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: the research, people who own homes are financially better off. 200 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 3: But the reason for that is because we've never historically 201 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: been in a position where renting forever has been an 202 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: option while also investing. We've always just seen renting forever 203 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: as not being able to afford to invest or buy 204 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: a home or whatever that means to you. But now you're. 205 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: Starting to see people who are turning away from the 206 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: idea of buying proper and renting forever and choosing the 207 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: share investment. 208 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're seeing the property markets start to catch 209 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: up with that too. So historically it's always been twelve 210 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: month leases, and people are now one being more flexible 211 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: in the terms and conditions in those leases, allowing things 212 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: like minor modifications of the house and painting, but also pets. 213 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 3: And also a lot of landlords are now offering longer 214 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 3: leases because they want tenants in their property for long 215 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: periods of time. But on the flip side, as a renter, 216 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 3: you probably want the stability as well to say, Okay, 217 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: well I don't have to review this every twelve months 218 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: because I actually signed a five year lease. And it's 219 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 3: one of those things that I think the real estate 220 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: market is starting to catch up with what the priorities 221 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 3: of millennials are. 222 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that's interesting. So if we are choosing this option, 223 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: then is it true that someone who rents could end 224 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: up as financially well off as someone who has a 225 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: home at the time of retirement. 226 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. And again this is not comparing people who 227 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 3: are quote forced to rent forever because they can't afford 228 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: to invest and they can't afford to buy property. We 229 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: are talking about actively choosing to just rent forever while 230 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: investing in other assets to create wealth. So yes, they 231 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: absolutely could. And if we look at the performance of 232 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: property versus shares over the long term, and we never 233 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 3: want to just look at what performs better, because there's 234 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: actually a lot that plays into it, like our actual 235 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: values and making sure that we are choosing things that 236 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 3: make sense for us. But when you look at it, 237 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: shares outperform property by a very significant percentage. That is 238 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: no opinion, it is just fact. If you invested in 239 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 3: property and you invested in shares, your shares are very 240 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: likely to perform higher than property. And that's not even 241 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: taking into consideration the fact that you'll have rates and 242 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: maintenance on that property of the long term and the 243 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: commitment to a mortgage, which you know, I love the 244 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: idea of investing in shares because I'd like flexibility. If 245 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: I don't want to invest one month, I don't have to, 246 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 3: whereas if you have a mortgage, you have to pay 247 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: that regardless. So that's not opinion, that is just fact. 248 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: So yes, absolutely, someone who rents forever can actually retire 249 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 3: with the same, if not more than somebody who is 250 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: a homeowner. But that is assuming that you don't just go, okay, 251 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: I can't afford property. I'm not going to prioritize wealth creation. 252 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: Like the expectation to prioritize your wealth creation still exists. 253 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 3: You are just actively choosing another asset class, okay. 254 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: And I feel like you've said before the something about 255 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: like your primary residence isn't necessarily an investment because you're 256 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: living in it and you can't just like click your 257 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: fingers and then have the cash that it might be worth. Like, 258 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: can you talk us through that a little bit more? 259 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, So let's use you as an example again, 260 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: because I love just throwing you under a bush. I 261 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: don't mean that literally. It just makes sense to the example. 262 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: Imagine if it was literally, I just loved so for buses, 263 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 3: but I don't. I love you ging. But when we 264 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 3: talk about your primary residence or your family home not 265 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: being an asset that I think is a wealth asset, 266 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: it's because to actually get that wealth working for you, 267 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: you have to extinguish that asset and sell it. You 268 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: need to liquidate it. You need to actually turn that 269 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: into cash or an investment that makes you money. And 270 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: the home that you live in does not make you 271 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: money because you're not renting it out. I mean, there 272 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: are lots of ways to do that. You might have 273 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: a housemate and that might give you an income source, 274 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: but we're just talking about a base. George King goes 275 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: and buys a house and lives in it. Let's say 276 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: that you go and buy a house Georgia for five 277 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars, and by the time you retire, that 278 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 3: property is worth one point five million dollars, which is 279 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 3: actually the reality of a lot of people who are 280 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: retiring at this point in time, and they say things like, 281 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I'm fine. Our house is worth so 282 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: much more than what I originally paid for it. You go, okay, cool, 283 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: But that's only helpful to us in our wealth creation 284 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 3: journey and the journey to actually creating an income in 285 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: retirement if you go and sell that house and go 286 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: back and invest that one million dollar difference and go 287 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: on buy another five hundred thousand dollar house and live 288 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: in that. And they go, oh, no, I don't want 289 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: to do that. I don't want to move. This is 290 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: the home that I've lived in. You go, okay, cool. 291 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: So regardless of whether it's worth five hundred thousand dollars 292 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: or one point five million dollars, it doesn't actually matter 293 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: because that is not going to be playing into your 294 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: wealth creation. That is not going to play into you 295 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: having a safe and comfortable retirement, because no matter how 296 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 3: nice your house is, you need income to be able 297 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: to pay for that house and have the electricity be 298 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: turned on and put food on the table and potentially 299 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: send your kids to school. So the important thing there 300 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: is not seeing your primary residence or your home as 301 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: an investment, because it is not one. And I say 302 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: that kindly, and I know that a lot of first 303 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: home owners are gonna be like, yeah, but like, I'm 304 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: so proud of this, and I am too, I really am. 305 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 3: But when it comes to saving for retirement, that's not 306 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: what we're talking about. Like, having a fancy family home 307 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 3: just means you have a fancy family home. It doesn't 308 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: mean that you have more income coming in in retirement, 309 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: which is ideally what we are working towards. And I 310 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 3: think that this is one of the fallacies that exists 311 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: in Australia, and that is people going, yeah, but like 312 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: I bought a really fancy family home and paid it 313 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: off and now I'm retiring, But they haven't prioritized another 314 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: form of investment or their superanuation, and they end up 315 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: with these really expensive homes that they are forced to 316 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: sell so that they can then afford to retire. And 317 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: if I'm getting you g you are in your twenties. 318 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 3: If I'm getting you now, and I can educate you 319 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: on this right now. You're not going to be in 320 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: that position in the future where you just relied on 321 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: paying off your mortgage as a form of wealth creation. 322 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that paying off your mortgage is like, 323 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: definitely do that, but we can't only rely on that 324 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 3: unless that was your wealth creation strategy. So to flip 325 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 3: everything that I have just told you, some people's wealth 326 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 3: creation strategies actually have a big family home, have the kids, 327 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: have the dog. But when they retire, they downsize and 328 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 3: they sell that home because they don't need all of 329 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: the bedrooms for the kids, and they buy something smaller 330 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 3: and then invest the amount of money that they had 331 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 3: that was the difference between what the house is worth 332 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 3: versus what the house was actually originally bought for, and 333 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: they create wealth that way. But when I talk about it, 334 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 3: I just don't want people to be forced to sell 335 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 3: their family homes without having the education that they deserve 336 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 3: access to. If that's your plan, I love it. I'm 337 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: glad you have a plan, but that's just it. We 338 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 3: need a plan. 339 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: Do you find that a lot of home buyers tend 340 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: to limit themselves to just that investment because they think 341 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: like that's all they need to worry about that's done 342 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: and dusted, financially set up and ready to go where 343 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: they could be maybe making the most of the share 344 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: market as well. 345 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And that's where as millennials and I know 346 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 3: that not everybody listening to our podcast is a millennial, 347 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 3: but gee, you and I are so speaking from experience. 348 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 3: A lot of us will go down to the bank 349 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 3: and say, okay, bank, I have been saving my butt 350 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: off and they have a home deposit, how much money 351 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 3: can I borrow? And they say, gee, you can borrow 352 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 3: a million dollars, and you go, great, well, I guess 353 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 3: I'll spend a million dollars then, but you don't comprehend 354 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 3: what that million dollars actually means when in reality, if 355 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: you've done your budget and your cash flow and actually 356 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 3: paid attention to what you wanted to create when it 357 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: comes to wealth, maybe you would have worked out that 358 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: you didn't actually want to spend more than six hundred 359 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Just because you can borrow it doesn't mean 360 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: you should spend it. You need to make sure that 361 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: it makes sense for your financial situation. And you're still 362 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 3: putting future you first, Whereas if you put yourself in 363 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 3: a position for the next thirty years, because that's how 364 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 3: long a mortgage is, where every single spare dollar that 365 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 3: you have has to go towards paying off that mortgage. One, gee, 366 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: sorry to tell you you're not going overseas again because 367 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 3: you can't afford it. But two, for thirty years you 368 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 3: haven't been prioritizing wealth creation. This isn't something that you 369 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 3: can just put to the side and be like, oh yeah, 370 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: once the mortgage just gone, A'll care about it because 371 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 3: you've missed out on thirty years of compounding interest. That 372 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 3: is why we need to care about it. And getting 373 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: back to the point of this episode, that is also 374 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: why some people. I really just don't want to own property. 375 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: I don't want the commitment, I don't want the long 376 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: term debt. I don't actually want this as a responsibility. 377 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 3: So I'm going to create wealth in another way and 378 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: maybe invest it in a different asset class and choose 379 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 3: to rent. And I think that that is a very 380 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: viable option if it makes sense for you. 381 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: Definitely. The other thing that we've spoken about on the 382 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: pod before is rent vesting. So that's the idea that 383 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: you rent in maybe a suburb that you can't afford 384 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: to buy in and then have tenants in a property 385 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: that's located somewhere that is affordable to buy in. What 386 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 2: are the main perks of doing that? 387 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 3: So there are a few. Obviously, you get to maintain 388 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 3: living in this suburb that you want to live in. 389 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: Maybe you want to live in in a city Richmond, 390 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: and you definitely couldn't have afforded to purchase the townhouse 391 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 3: that you live in, so maybe you purchase a little 392 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 3: bit further out and rent that out. That is you 393 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 3: creating wealth for the long term by choosing property as 394 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: your asset class. Essentially, it's similar to saying, Okay, well 395 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 3: I'm still going to invest in something, it's just I'm 396 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: going to rent, whereas renting forever would assume that you're 397 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 3: investing in another asset, so you're investing in shares instead 398 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: of in another property. And again that comes with a 399 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 3: number of hurdles. Like we did a whole episode on 400 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 3: rent vesting, But rent vesting means you still have to 401 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 3: come up with a deposit. You're still stuck with a 402 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: thirty year mortgage, and if you don't pay it one month, 403 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: that's actually not an option, and you've got the added 404 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: bonus of having to manage tenants and what happens on 405 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 3: the months when maybe the house isn't least out, Like, 406 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: can you afford that difference? It's all just about working 407 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 3: out what strategy works for you. And I've got clients 408 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,239 Speaker 3: on both sides of offense. I've got clients who are 409 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 3: rent vestors. I've got clients who are homeowners and live 410 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: in the home. And I've also got clients who have 411 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: really great salaries, they have really high combined incomes, and 412 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: they're choosing to rent because they're just like, I don't 413 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 3: want property. I just want to invest in shares and 414 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: have financial freedom sooner rather than later. And I respect 415 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: all of those options. The point of this episode is 416 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 3: talking about what that option means, because I think that 417 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: there's this massive misconception that renting forever means that you 418 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 3: can't afford to retire, that you can't afford to invest, 419 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 3: that you can't afford to do things, when in reality, 420 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 3: renting forever could actually give you freedom to retire early. 421 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: Definitely, all right, we are going to leave it here 422 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 2: for now, but we'll be back after the break to 423 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: debunk exactly why rent money is not dead money as 424 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: well as all of the perks that come with renting forever. 425 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: So stick around friends, Okay. 426 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 3: They back into it. 427 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: People often say that rent money is dead money. You 428 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: and I do not agree with that, But can you 429 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: give us like a really juicy, like one or two 430 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: line answer for when the next for the next time 431 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: when someone says that to us? Did that make sense grammatically? 432 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, but you know what I'm trying to say, 433 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: it's too dumb. That's just saying dumb. 434 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: You just tell that person that is dumb, and then 435 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 3: you don't talk to them again. No why though? Yeah, 436 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 3: actual answer that money is not dead money, because I'm sorry, 437 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 3: what are you doing if you're not paying rent or 438 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 3: putting a roof over your head? 439 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 2: Like? 440 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 3: Rent is an essential cost, Yes, a level of luxury 441 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: comes into it. You might choose to live in a 442 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: city in a fancy apartment and that's completely up to you. 443 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 3: That's where lifestyle comes into it. But I genuinely believe 444 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 3: that rent is a lifestyle cost. So yes, to a 445 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 3: certain extent, it's a hygiene factor. We need to put 446 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 3: a roof over our heads, we need to actually have 447 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: a home, we need to live somewhere. But when it 448 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 3: comes to spending more money on rent, that is a 449 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 3: lifestyle decision, and you're investing in that lifestyle that that 450 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: rent and living in that location can afford you. So 451 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 3: for me, I think it is an essential cost and 452 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 3: people need to stop saying like, oh, rent money is 453 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 3: dead money. I'd much prefer to put it towards a 454 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: mortgage instead of paying somebody else's mortgage. And you go, okay, 455 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: But even if you were putting it into your own mortgage, 456 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 3: you're actually creating wealth or you're financially crippling yourself for 457 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: the long term, because too many times do people prioritize 458 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 3: having a mortgage that financially cripples them, gives them a 459 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 3: life that they don't love because they are not financially 460 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: able to afford anything more outside of that, Like maybe 461 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: renting in a city Richmond, and I keep using this 462 00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: as an example, it's just because it's close to it. 463 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: We both leave g But maybe you're renting there and 464 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 3: enjoying the lifestyle. If you'd purchased, you actually wouldn't be 465 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 3: able to enjoy the lifestyle, even if you were in 466 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: a great location, because you don't have the free cash flow. 467 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 3: So I think it's far from dead money, and I 468 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 3: think it's some of the most important money you'll ever 469 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: spend in your life. But not every dollar that you 470 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 3: earn is actually savable, and I think that that's really 471 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: important to remember as well. Regardless of what you are doing, 472 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: you have to pay money to put a roof over 473 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 3: your head. And I'm just not going to be swallowing 474 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 3: the argument of yeah, but you could be putting it 475 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 3: towards a mortgage, Okay, cool, but like you could also 476 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 3: be renting somewhere relatively cheap and investing and creating more 477 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 3: wealth than a mortgage would ever create for you, So 478 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 3: please stop arguing with me. 479 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: Do you think it is almost a bit like it 480 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: has a bit of boomer energy about it, you know 481 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 2: what I mean? 482 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, very you want to just feel no problem. 483 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: I get that. And maybe it was back then, maybe 484 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 3: back in their day g when they had really high 485 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: interest rates but property was quite accessible because it was 486 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 3: only one or two times their annual salary, then maybe 487 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 3: it was like, yeah, you're right, it just makes more 488 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: sense to purchase. But given property now is between ten 489 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 3: and fifteen times our annual salaries, that's actually not that feasible, 490 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: Like that argument doesn't stand up in the same way 491 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 3: that it used to. So I think that for us, 492 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: we need to remember that it is not just a 493 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 3: lifestyle cost, it's actually a necessity. And rent money is 494 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 3: absolutely not dead money. And I would like to cancel 495 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: that phrase. 496 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, cancel it. That was the answer I wanted, 497 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Okay, So let's talk through the 498 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: benefits of renting forever. 499 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: You can do what you want. G. Literally, you could 500 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 3: have a tree change one year, and then you could 501 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: have a beach change the next. I'm not, by no 502 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: means saying that that is exactly what you want to do, 503 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: but there's obviously more freedom and more flexibility to live 504 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 3: the life that you want. And obviously this means you've 505 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 3: got the freedom to rent in certain school zones, which 506 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 3: could be really helpful for you, and also renting locations 507 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 3: that you otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford anyway, 508 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: Like how good would it be to go live in 509 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: Turak G I mean, fancy doll. I'm not gonna go 510 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 3: live in Tuak. I obviously don't want to live there, 511 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: but like I definitely couldn't afford to purchase there, but 512 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 3: you know what, I can afford a lease there. So 513 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 3: if that's the lifestyle you want to live, you can 514 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 3: still live it, and I think that that is really cool. Also, 515 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 3: save a huge fee for a deposit and the stamp 516 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 3: duty on purchasing a property. You don't have that financial 517 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: burden of having to save up for ten plus years 518 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: in some circumstances to purchase. And you don't have to 519 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 3: pay off a mortgage, which is a non negotiable, very 520 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 3: high cost, which can be extremely stressful for so many people. 521 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 3: While it is not your home. Also, g it's not 522 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: your house, so if the hot water system breaks, somebody 523 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 3: else has to pay for it. If that's not a 524 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 3: money win, I don't know what is. And then obviously 525 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 3: get to get more flexibility with your savings. You can 526 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: invest more in the share market if that's what you 527 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: want to do, and you don't have to worry about 528 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 3: putting all your savings towards the deposit because you're creating 529 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: wealth somewhere else, and you're creating wealth then and there 530 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: So lots of people who save for a home and 531 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 3: have home buying as their goal just don't consider investing 532 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 3: because they have to aggressively save. And I just want 533 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 3: to remind everybody that this is an opinion. This is 534 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 3: literally me saying, hey, here are some benefits of doing this. 535 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: If you want to save for a home, like, go 536 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 3: get it. I want to hear about it, friend, I 537 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 3: want to know what you are doing. We are just 538 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 3: talking about normalizing all the different options that are available 539 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 3: to all of us to make sure we are picking 540 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: the right one for our situation. And if you're listening 541 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 3: to this podcast and you're like, why is Victoria trying 542 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: to convince us to rent? I'm not. But a lot 543 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: of people are going to listen to this episode and 544 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: resonate and be like, oh my gosh, I'm so glad 545 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: someone said that was okay because that was my plan, Like, 546 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: that's what I wanted to do. I don't want to 547 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 3: own property. It wasn't my value. And I'm telling you 548 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 3: right now, if I hadn't met Steve and property wasn't 549 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: one of his values, I wouldn't own a property. I 550 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 3: just don't want that responsibility. And I love the idea 551 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 3: of having the flexibility of a lease and creating wealth 552 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: outside of that and have said that before, but I 553 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 3: think it's just really important to remind you all right 554 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 3: then and there. 555 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's it's a comforting idea that 556 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: for people like myself who have felt for years now 557 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: quite overwhelmed by the housing market and you know, still 558 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: holding onto this dream but not really sure why I 559 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 2: have it. But I'm renting for now, but how will 560 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 2: I end up being? Okay? Like, it's comforting to know 561 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: that we can rent and just create an investment strategy 562 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: and still end up in a really good place. 563 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 3: You are going to be fine, you do not. And 564 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 3: I think that this is what I want you to 565 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 3: leave this episode with is the knowledge that you do 566 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 3: not need to buy a home to be financially stable. 567 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: You do not need to have a mortgage to be relevant, 568 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 3: You do not need to have a mortgage to actually 569 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 3: create wealth. You can start creating wealth. You know our 570 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 3: friends at shares is you can invest five dollars in 571 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: start creating wealth. Whereas with a home in Melbourne, you're 572 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: going to need a minimum of one hundred thousand dollars 573 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: saved before you're even able to walk into a house. 574 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: Like it is insane, and those hurdles are only getting higher. 575 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 3: And I know at the start of this episode is said, 576 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 3: they're not going to keep going as high as they 577 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 3: currently are, and the reality is, even if they stop 578 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: growing at this point, there's still going to be hurdles 579 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 3: that are not able to be jumped over by all 580 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 3: of us, and they are still things that are getting 581 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 3: in our way. And I think that explaining why renting 582 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 3: forever is a good idea for some people actually just 583 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 3: makes sense. And talking about the fact that I literally 584 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 3: have so many people that I would consider wealthy as 585 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 3: clients of mine that do not own property. And to 586 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 3: be honest, I think there's something really sexy and really 587 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 3: kind of like romantic about the idea that they're just 588 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 3: financially free human being, Like they. 589 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 2: Just totally have flexible. 590 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, they just have this level of flexibility. And once 591 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: you can come to a conclusion that works for you, 592 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 3: it just makes sense because I know it's a massive 593 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 3: pressure and I know that, you know, even looking at 594 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 3: my own friends circle sorry friends love you by but 595 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: even looking at them, they all want that too. So 596 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: it would be really hard to be surrounded by people 597 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 3: who all own homes or have that value of owning homes. 598 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 3: And I know, Georgia, you've got some friends that have 599 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 3: recently purchased, and that's really exciting. But it would be 600 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 3: silly of us to say, oh, I don't feel any 601 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 3: pressure because they've done it. We all do. We think 602 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 3: about it and go wow, like that was a pretty 603 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 3: big financial goal they achieved. I feel not as good 604 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: because they achieved that. But it's one of those things 605 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 3: where we need to normalize that different outcomes are good 606 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 3: for different types of people, and just because you haven't 607 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: purchased a home does not make your investment strategy, or 608 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 3: your wealth creation strategy, or your money journey any less valid, brilliant. 609 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 2: Oh I feel empowered, I feel seen, I feel heard. 610 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: Are you ready to sign a lease? No? Okay, all right? 611 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 3: So JK not good at commitment of any. 612 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: Form, absolutely not. Before we head off fee, we should 613 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: probably chat about the potential cons just to. 614 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: Make it a more yeah likely, so balance it out. 615 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 3: That sounds quite fair. I think that there are a 616 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: few cons. We need to be honest about this. So 617 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: in contrast, having a house and needing to meet payments 618 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: for some people can actually act as forced saving plan. 619 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: With renting, it can sometimes be a lot harder to 620 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 3: save an invest because you just feel like it's free 621 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 3: cash flow. Some people actually need the structure of a 622 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 3: mortgage to actually be able to save. And I'm not 623 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 3: saying that as a suggestion. I literally know that is 624 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: true because I have seen it. Sometimes having that mortgage 625 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: there forces people to prioritize saving when they hadn't done 626 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: that prior. As previously mentioned, it can actually make things 627 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 3: a little bit trickier in retirement. But to combat this, 628 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 3: we can make additional contributions to superannuation, we can start 629 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: to invest in the share market, and we can start 630 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: when we're young, so it's not all doom and gloom like. 631 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: It's not a bad thing. And at the end of 632 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 3: the day, when it does come to leasing, we need 633 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 3: to be honest about the fact that you are at 634 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 3: the mercy of your landlord. So regardless of the fact 635 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 3: that you know you've signed a one year lease or 636 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 3: even a five year lease, you really can't know how 637 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 3: long you'll be able to live in that home. And 638 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 3: if you're a bit of a homebody and you just 639 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 3: don't like moving or you don't like change, like, maybe 640 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: that's not a strategy that is going to work for you. 641 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,959 Speaker 3: And that's why it's so important to them about our 642 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: own values around what we want from life, and what 643 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 3: I want Georgia might be very different to what you 644 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 3: want because I don't mind moving, whereas you might go, 645 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: oh no, like I hate being uprooted. That is the 646 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 3: worst thing ever. Like maybe a part of your money 647 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 3: story is that you just want the stability of having 648 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 3: your own home. I get it. I'm not saying that 649 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 3: this is forever. Like I talk to people all the 650 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 3: time who value purchasing a home because that was something 651 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: that they never had, and I think it is really 652 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 3: important to acknowledge that as well. We are not saying 653 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 3: that this is an option that is for everybody. We 654 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 3: are just saying this is an option that you need 655 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 3: to be educated on and you are going to make 656 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 3: the right decision based on the values that you hold. 657 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I mean that there weren't as many cons 658 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 2: as I expected there a bit. 659 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 3: Look, there aren't that many. I mean I tried really 660 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 3: hard to scrape those ones together, but I had to 661 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 3: be best because clearly I'm a little bit biased and 662 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: think that it is a really good strategy, especially for millennials. 663 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 3: Like looking at the property market, looking at the share market, 664 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 3: looking at the numbers behind everything. I do think that 665 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 3: renting forever is going to be something that we see 666 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: a lot more people choosing actively over the next few years. 667 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 2: All right, very well, I think that is all we 668 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 2: have time for. And yeah, once again, I just feel 669 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: quite relieved. I guess is the feeling because I know 670 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: myself and so many of my friends have been feeling 671 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: that real sense of overwhelm when it comes to the 672 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: property market and just not really believing that we'll ever 673 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 2: be able to get there, and knowing that there is 674 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 2: now this other option that no one really speaks about. 675 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 2: I don't think we don't really speak about the benefits 676 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 2: of using this as a strategy. It's really exciting, no, because. 677 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 3: I think people automatically think like you either purchase a 678 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 3: home or you rent, and they see renting as a 679 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 3: subpar option, like it's the thing you have to do. 680 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: But you can also actively choose to do that as 681 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 3: a part of your wealth creation strategy. And I think 682 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 3: it's pretty sexy, if I'm honest, love love that part. 683 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 3: All right, let's leave it there. We have we've done 684 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 3: my friends.
