Reading Time: 1 Minute Today’s video is in response to some of you guys messaging me about where to invest a spare $10k here in Australia. Now I know many commentators would say to invest in shares or ETFs, but I thought I would show you 4 traditional ways to invest that money, as well as 3 bonus ways you might not have thought about. Transcript: Recently I’ve received a fair amount of messages about what I would invest in, if I had a spare $10k. So, I thought, why not do a video?

How To Set Goals – The 10x Method
Reading Time: 2 Minutes What’s up everyone! Hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday. I went over to our friend’s house last night for a get together, and had a roaring time. During a moment of sobriety, we got on to the topic of goals, and more importantly how to set goals. Having goals as we all know, is vitally important to our lives because it provides a sense of direction and purpose.

August Net Wealth Update
Reading Time: 2 Minutes What a difference a month makes, 2nd wave of lockdowns seem to have worked and I’m hoping that things return to normality soon.
