26 - Journey to Home Ownership: Covering
We went over the foundations, the bricks, the roof, but there is one last element to this story that has been there the entire time. From the moment we started tackling the foundations we have experienced covering from our good God, so let me tell you a few stories on this all played out.

25 - Journey to Home Ownership: Roof
This episode is a continuation of my journey to homeownership, labeled Roof. What’s the point in a solid foundation and some sturdy walls if there’s nothing to top it off? We need the roof, both physically on our houses and financially in our journey to finishing off the home ownership journey.

24 - Journey to Home Ownership: Bricks
We have already layed the foundations so it is time to lay some bricks!

23 - Journey to Home Ownership: Foundations
This one's for anyone and everyone who wants to own the home they live in. I broke the mold and did it at 21 years old despite the market conditions, despite having a graduate income, despite what other people said (even professionals), and so I want to inspire you to do the same. It’s not an...

18 - Minimum Wage Millionaire
This one is titled 'Minimum Wage Millionaire' and it was a concept I thought of and shared with some of my co-workers when I was working in a minimum wage role back in 2018. Yes it was bold, yes it’s kind of a click bait statement, but it’s something I genuinely weighed up and wanted to say…

17 - True Generosity
This one is all about generosity. Yes it sounds simple, but there were a few things that I didn’t know so maybe you could learn a thing or two as well! Deep down all of us enjoy being generous and giving, so I encourage you to sharpen yourself in this area of finances. It starts off by knowing…

16 - Earn by the Word
This was written in a space where I was exploring my favourite book for increasing my financial literacy - the Bible. I started from scratch and consulted what the word says on earning income. Are we meant to work for money? Is there such a thing as earning too much? What ways are we meant to…

15 - Know the Source

12 - Barrier Five: Arrogance
The 5th and final barrier! These have been barriers that hold us back from reaching goals even when we have the financial know-how and knowledge. We dealt with Fear, Doubt, Laziness, Bad Habits, and now we’re taking down arrogance. Arrogance once again shuts us off from learning more, and can cut...
-
11 - Barrier Four: Bad Habits
What’s a bad habit that you want to break? The thing about habits is that we do a lot of them without even knowing it. So there’s probably more bad habits we're not even aware of in the way we manage our money. Maybe this is the barrier you need to overcome to see a breakthrough in your financial...

10 - Barrier Three: Laziness

5 - What's in your pockets?
Is your car an asset? How about your house?! It’s time to start redefining how we view certain items in our life, this time using our real pockets instead of textbook definitions. We always hear big words like assets, passive income, investments, etc, but it’s hard to understand them let alone…
