Together, Tom and Linda unpack what Linda has consistently observed among wealthy individuals — the habits, decisions, and strategies that show up again and again.This is a values-led conversation about money, property, family, and the importance of learning from those who’ve already succeeded — rather than trying to figure it all out alone.If you’re thinking about your future, your family, or how to build wealth more intentionally, this episode will challenge the way you think about money.Want to know what you’re really on track to achieve, and how you can get there sooner?Book a complimentary discovery call with our team using the link below:Book a complimentary discovery call with our team Connect with the HostGeneral Advice Warning!

The Great Australian Dream is slipping away.In this emotional opening episode of our new series, host Tom Haigh explores the growing crisis of home ownership — and what it means for the next generation.Over the past 30-40 years, the income-to-house-price ratio has stretched from 2–3× to as high as 10–11× in some cities. Millennials are owning homes at rates nearly 10% lower than their parents did at the same age. And unless something changes, Australia could soon mirror parts of Europe — nations of lifelong renters and shrinking home ownership.Drawing on more than a decade working with property investors and families, Tom shares how priorities are shifting — from “retire early” to “help my kids buy a home” — and what smart, strategic families are doing about it.👉 In this episode:Why housing affordability has reached breaking pointHow the wealth gap is reshaping generational opportunityWhat we can learn from countries where home ownership has collapsedThe emotional toll of seeing your kids priced outFirst steps parents can take to give their kids a fighting chance🎯 This is the start of a powerful new series: Helping the Next Generation into Property.Don’t miss what’s coming next — practical strategies, interviews with leading experts, and real stories from Australian families turning property into legacy.🎯 Book your free discovery call using the link in the show notes.📬 And don’t forget to follow, share, and leave us a review if you get value from the insights we share!Book a complimentary discovery call with our teamConnect with the HostGeneral Advice Warning!
