#291 Money News in human words; Home upgrading, how wealthy are you, & stamp duty vs land tax

In this week's money news in human words, I talked about home upgrading, how you can do that and plan around a home upgrade in a way that doesn't sabotage your investing progress. I chatted about the wealth distribution in Australia off the back of some recently released AVS data which is super interesting for money nerds like me. There are a bunch of interesting insights around how you can compare where you fit on the wealth spectrum as well as the New South Wales land tax, the first home buyer choice scheme, and how popular it's been. One of the big things people should be looking out for that could lead to trouble later on, is the massive food inflation that we are seeing, and what it means for interest rates moving forward. This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to see through the headlines and understand what it means for their money and their investment.   Want to make smarter money moves and get ahead faster?    Upcoming events: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/ben-nash-pivot-wealth-34379655697   Learn more about Pivot Wealth: https://pivotwealth.com.au/   Check out Ben's book, Get Unstuck: https://www.getunstuckbook.com.au/   Check us out on socials:    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bentalksmoney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotwealth/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenNashPivot Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pivotwealth/ Chat about how Pivot Wealth can help with your money: https://calendly.com/pivot-new-clients/intro-chat-w-pivot-wealth   Note: The advice shared on this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual circumstances.
