Every Financial Trap You'll Face As Your Wealth Grows

About this episode

Every stage of building wealth has its own trap. And the thing that got you here is often the thing that stops you from going further. So, which one are you about to walk into?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew map the traps at every stage, from your first $1,000 to $2.5 million in equity.

You'll learn:

The traps hiding at each stage of wealth
Why being too scared of debt can leave a million dollars doing nothing
Why you retire on cash flow, not capital growth

The lesson? Every trap is caused by what worked at the previous stage. Knowing what's coming is how you avoid it.

Ok, now for the legal bit:

The Property Academy Podcast is for your general information. It’s not financial advice.

So the hosts aren’t telling you what to do with your own money. We’ve made every effort to make sure the information is accurate. But we occasionally get the odd fact wrong.

Make sure you do your own research or talk to a financial adviser before making any investment decisions.
