  • It’s just OK

    TLDR: Another Murdoch Empire stooge editorialising on right wing politics… I think I’m going to call time on the Money Puzzle. It’s much less entertaining since he split with Alan Kohler and has turned into a bit of a James Kirby waffle-fest. He brings on guests but often interrupts them to answers his own questions, goes off on tangents and waffling editorials and takes guesses at answering questions without knowing the answers. It’s still OK, just not great. If you’re pretty right wing and onl... more

  • What happened

    I’ve listened to the money puzzle for years and its a shame the quality of content and guests is worsening over the years. You’ve lost a listener. It’s quite obvious the right wing bias of the Australian is getting to Kirby and co. Obvious sour grapes for this organisation that does not reflect the Aussie voter.

  • Millennials need space

    So true about millennials moving to get access to houses or homes with space. Raising kids in a unit designed for investors is hard work. Loved this episode, an actuate picture of what’s happening.

  • Shameless promotion of property speculation!

    No, private property investors are not essential! Whoever thought speculation on a basic need such as housing was ok is beyond the pale. Housing should be provided by governments and not for private mum-and-dad investors who expect to profit off the backs of the less fortunate. Shame on you for promoting property investment! Stick to shares and stocks which doesn’t directly hurt people by driving up property prices and making housing unaffordable!

Property investors brace for new super tax squeeze

Property investors brace for new super tax squeeze

The great wealth transfer: what you need to know before gifting money
Q: How does gifting affect eligibility for age pension?
Gifts can impact eligibility for the age pension, as a portion of the gift may still be considered an asset for up to five years, limiting the amount one can gift annually.
The great wealth transfer: what you need to know before gifting money
Q: What are the implications of gifting money instead of properties?
Gifting cash has far fewer tax complications than gifting property. There are no tax ramifications for the giver or the receiver when it comes to cash gifts, unlike properties which may incur capital gains tax and stamp duty.
