In this Q&A episode, Stuart tackles a wide range of strategic questions from listeners navigating big financial decisions. Alex (pseudonym Ace) asks whether it’s smarter to upgrade to a forever home now, invest in shares and super, or pursue an investment property first. Stuart explains why securing your long-term home earlier often pays off. Gavin, recently divorced, wants to know how best to prioritise home upgrades, property consolidation, and super with limited income and family demands. Kieran outlines three ways to fund a new home using equity, cross-collateralisation, or selling. Stuart weighs in on the pros, risks, and tax implications of each option. An avid listener aiming to retire early asks whether managing $900K via a company structure is optimal or if there are better strategies given his and his wife’s high incomes. Across these cases, Stuart highlights the importance of ownership structure, long-term planning, and aligning financial moves with lifestyle goals, especially around super, family planning, and tax strategy. Whether you're early in your investing journey or already managing millions, this episode delivers practical, thoughtful advice on how to make smart, forward-thinking decisions across property, super, and investment strategy.
