Investing In Our Future with Owen Raszkiewicz

Investing can be an incredibly powerful weapon, but only if you know how to wield it On today’s podcast episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Owen Raszkiewicz, the Founder of Rask Finance, a prominent financial education platform in Australia. He’s super passionate about providing people with the tools they need to take control of their financial future, and shares a lot of wisdom about this today.  Owen emphasises the importance of commencing your investment journey early in life. He reveals how small, consistent investments, made over time, can lead to substantial returns. We also discuss prevalent misconceptions and fears that often deter individuals from investing. He identifies three major limiting beliefs: the misconception of not having enough money, the fear of not knowing enough, and the myth of not having enough time.  Owen elaborates on the advantages of investing in shares and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). He explains how the stock market rewards innovation and growth, making it a compelling avenue for long-term investment. He also highlights the transformative potential of automation in making investing accessible and hassle-free for everyone. We talk about the importance of transitioning from relying solely on business income to diversifying through investments. He dispels the notion that most individuals will amass wealth solely through their businesses. Instead, he emphasises the discipline of allocating a portion of one's income regularly into investments. Drawing from his personal experience, Owen shares the significance of imparting financial literacy to children. He shares how his parents instilled the value of money in him and encourages parents to follow suit. Simple practices, such as allocating pocket money for both spending and investing, can set the stage for a financially savvy future generation. Owen is an expert in simplifying the complexities of finance, and he shares invaluable insights into the world of personal finance and investing, that will help you pave the way for a brighter financial future.
