Description

Welcome to Episode 2 of Don’t Shoot the Messenger with Chris Ball – a podcast about success, mindset, money, wealth building, business scaling and the real cost of ambition, co-hosted with Sam Oakes.

In this episode of Don't Shoot the Messenger, Chris Ball breaks down the real financial implications of property ownership - and why he chooses to rent, even when he could afford to buy.

From emotional attachments to outdated beliefs about security, we challenge the traditional mindset around homeownership. Is buying always the smart move? Or could your money be working harder elsewhere?
Whether you're debating your first property or wondering if you should cash out of a buy-to-let, this is a must-listen.

What we cover:
- Why Chris rents instead of buying (even in Dubai)
- The hidden opportunity cost of tying up capital
- The emotional vs financial side of property ownership
- The real ROI on buy-to-let investments
- How to calculate your personal "why" before you buy
