Description

Why do Alec and Bryce from Equity Mates think the next generation won’t own homes? In this episode, we have a chat with Alec Renehan and Bryce Leske, the co-founders of Equity Mates Media, to explore why more young Australians are steering away from the idea of property ownership and leaning towards investing in shares instead.

We discuss how the wealth gap between those who can get financial help from family and those who can’t is influencing this shift. How is this gap making property less accessible for younger generations? And why are many looking to the stock market as a more viable option for building wealth?

Throughout the episode, we cover the challenges young people face when trying to enter the property market and what they’re considering as alternatives. Alec and Bryce share their insights from years of working with young investors and reflect on the changing attitudes towards property and investing.

If you’re curious about how investing mindsets are evolving, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in and let's dive right into it!
