Get Invested: Damian Hoar on your finance and property survival guide

Beyond the hype and the headlines, how hard is it really to break in to Australian property, especially for young people? To talk about this and much more, Damian Hoar joins this week's episode of Get Invested. Research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute suggests that only 11 per cent of potential first home buyers can afford to purchase property in Australia. And it's not as a simple as 'just cut back on lattes and smashed avo toast'.  Damian joins us to talk about what it is really like for millennials and Gen Zs trying to pursue "the Australian dream". He is the host of the popular ‘Finance and Property Survival Guide’ podcast, and also works as a mortgage broker. At just 26, and having experienced is own financial challenges, Damian is on a mission to help other young people get on top of budgeting, investing and more. He also talks about the importance of 'gamifying your life' as you develop skills and attributes, and also the importance of dealing with stress as you start to get serious about building wealth.
