    Just like every FIRE podcast, fantastic content but getting carried away with the nitty gritty.

    Spend less than you earn and invest the rest .. simple

    Tried listening to the podcast on credit card hacking. The number of times they said “I don’t know but I googled it or read it somewhere” was less than reassuring. Even providing general financial information on a subject means that you should know the answers to simple questions. If they can’t get this right then my trust level is pretty low.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

47. Case studies: Escaping Mortgage Prison & Switching from Property to Shares
Q: Are cash flow and capital growth components different when comparing property and shares?
Yes, in the current market, shares, particularly ETFs, often provide better cash flow compared to property, which tends to have lower yields.
47. Case studies: Escaping Mortgage Prison & Switching from Property to Shares
Q: How does someone like this end up in such a financial bind with their mortgage?
They likely took out a mortgage when rates were lower and both were working, but now with one partner at home, servicing the mortgage has become much more difficult.
46. Q&A: Employee share schemes, LICs, and mental accounting
Q: Would LICs be a good alternative to ETFs for smoother returns?
LICs provide stability but come with active management risks; their historical context tends to create a preference over passive ETF investments.
46. Q&A: Employee share schemes, LICs, and mental accounting
Q: What are your thoughts on the situation regarding employee share schemes?
It makes more sense to diversify rather than keep all investments tied to one company; it's risky to rely heavily on a single company's performance.
42. Q&A: “The gold boom, work/life balance, and will AI kill share investing?”
Q: How will AI affect future investing?
AI will likely transform how trades are executed and market strategies are developed, but companies will still need to list for various reasons.
