If you're in a relationship that's been going for a little while, how do you manage your finances? Do you and your partner’s wages all go into a single joint account that you both then spend out of?

There's no single right way for couples to manage finances but in this episode, we're going to explore some of the things you might like to consider, and I'll share with you some of the ways I've seen it done amongst different couples over my 20 years of helping people with their money.

What's the data telling us about the Australian Property Market with Pete Wargent - Episode 167
Pete Wargent is a property investment expert. He is a buyer's advocate and does various bits and pieces within the property space. Pete's background is as a chartered accountant. The content he produces on property investment tends to be very analytical and data driven. So I've invited him along to get his insight as to what he is seeing in the data at the moment in the property space. He's got some unique insights here and some great tips that I think you'll get a lot out of. Regular listeners will know we've got the Financial Autonomy framework which we go through in the Financial Autonomy book. There's the three pathways, there's investing in shares or stocks, investing in property and self-employment. The other element I really appreciated in Pete's story is his application of the three pathways to achieving Financial Autonomy. As a guest, I think he is a fantastic illustration of what I'm trying to explore through the Financial Autonomy podcast for almost three years now. We have really useful and practical information from someone who's done it, who's built wealth and who has gained choice. Disclaimer

Is it time to gear into shares? - Episode 166
When investing in property, it's largely a given that you'll be borrowing as a core element of the transaction. Indeed often, you're borrowing the entire purchase cost. Borrowing to buy shares however is often approached with trepidation, despite the many advantages shares offer around the ease of altering the transaction size, diversification and the speed with which investments can be liquidated. In today's episode, we'll take a look at the pros and cons of borrowing or gearing to invest in shares. Is now the time for a big move? Before we dive in, it's important to remind you that this is general information. The appropriateness of gearing for you depends on a range of factors such as income security, savings capacity, debt levels and investment timeframe. Seek out professional investment advice before commencing a gearing strategy. Visit the Advice Page on our Financial Autonomy website to see how we can help. Also, if you're fairly new here, you might not be aware of our Invest in Shares online course. This self-paced course is suitable for novice investors through to those with intermediate levels of experience. We take you through all the key concepts like dividend yield, PE ratios, investment selection, taxation considerations and plenty more. One of the bonus modules is specifically on gearing so if this topic is something that resonates with you and you're a DIY type, go to the Learn Page on our web site and click on courses. Disclaimer

CASE STUDY - From employee to partner - Alex's journey to gaining choice via the self-employment pathway - Episode 165
I met Alex Hont at a Financial Planning conference last year. Alex hosts the Masters of Finance podcast - so with both financial planning and podcasting in common, we had quite a bit to talk about! I invited Alex onto the podcast to share how he went from being an employee to being a partner at his financial planning firm - how he planned for that move, how it unfolded, and what the change has meant for him. Alex shares his journey, how he got into the practice in the first place, how he's been able to increase his share and become a partner in the business, and a little bit about his thoughts as to where it might lead to longer term. It's a bit of a different story in terms of how to arrive at self-employment. We haven't covered this sort of approach before but it's something that I hope you guys will get a lot out of. Disclaimer

So in this episode I also pull back the curtain a little to share how I got it done. Perhaps it might help you see a way to achieve one of your dreams. I hope you enjoy this episode and get some valuable ideas.   Disclaimer
