The episode was updated on the 30th of May to remove some comments around assumptions around tax losses in the new budget if an asset underperforms inflation, as well as removing some comments around tax deductions which were oversimplified.The dust has (somewhat) settled on the Federal Budget, and Hayden and Dave are back to go beyond the initial reactions. This week they dig into the real numbers, the philosophical tensions behind the changes, and what investors should actually be doing differently (if anything).They cover:👉 If and how our investing strategies will change👉 How the CGT changes hit a sell-down strategy versus a dividend/income strategy differently👉 Why the two-phase super strategy takes a bigger hit than most people realise👉 The case for semi-retirement over full FIRE under the new rules👉 Whether continuing to invest is still worth it when the rules keep shiftingPlus, is the budget actually doing anything meaningful for housing supply?
