About this listen

 Today's show is going to hit close to home for a lot of Australians. Because despite living in one of the richest countries on the planet, the vast majority of Aussies are quietly battling something uncomfortable – the inability to actually build their wealth. We're working harder than ever. We're earning more than ever. But most households still feel like they're running on a treadmill. Why is that? Well, it's rarely about income. It's rarely about intelligence. It's rarely about effort. Today I'm joined by Australia's leading property tax strategist, Ken Raiss, to help you understand why Australians struggle to accumulate wealth and what the wealthy do differently. Takeaways · Most Australians feel financially insecure despite living in a wealthy country. · Mindset plays a crucial role in determining financial success. · Wealth creation requires strategic planning and a clear roadmap. · Investors often limit their potential due to outdated beliefs. · The importance of having a strong 'why' behind financial goals. · Asset ownership and structuring can significantly impact wealth accumulation. · A holistic approach to wealth creation is essential for long-term success. · Inheritance and estate planning require careful consideration and strategy. · Successful investors think long-term, often planning decades ahead. · Collaboration with a wealth strategist can enhance financial outcomes.
