You are going to want to take notes. Pete provides plenty of ways to cut costs – by letting us know what we should be auditing every year (or more often).
Key Takeaways:
Annual financial checkups are essential for effective money management and should involve reviewing all expenses and bills.
Proactively asking for better prices or researching provider alternatives can lead to significant savings without sacrificing quality.
Understanding the importance of balancing time versus potential financial savings is crucial for effective personal finance management.
Creating a “financial toolkit” can help structure the processes needed to make informed financial decisions regularly.
Complacency can harm financial health; staying informed and active in challenging existing costs regularly is beneficial.
Notable Quotes:
"You can't correct it if you don't check it."
"If you care about where your money goes and what you're spending on, you should check your bills at least annually."
"A bit like going to the doctor, you're hopefully healthy and eating healthy [...] once a year you might go to the doctor and say, how am I really doing?"
"I've never seen anybody go, 'You know what, just for hanging around here's a discount.' You don't get anything without asking."
"You need to look at the bills, not just pay them."

Why do we pay tax? Should we? How much? The Bible instructs about tax? Welcome to the Tax Episode you have been waiting for and it's finally arrived. Applause.
Key Takeaways:
Taxes are the financial backbone which support essential government services such as schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.
The Australian tax system is progressive – higher-income earners pay proportionally more. This allocation of resources from those who can afford to contribute more can be viewed as a fair system.
Optimising tax payments through eligible deductions and exemptions is encouraged.
The distinction between high earners and rich individuals is crucial, particularly in discussions about tax equity and avoidance.
From a Christian perspective, paying taxes is viewed as a civic duty aligned with scriptural teachings which emphasise honesty and respect for governing authorities.
Notable Quotes:
"Taxes are the price we need to pay to live in the kind of world that we want." - Pete Burrows
"A fair amount is what's correct... calculated within the laws." - Pete Burrows
"I think tax is a privilege." - Pete Burrows
"The Bible strongly indicates that paying taxes is necessary, 'giving to Caesar what is Caesar's'." - Ben McEachen

Everything you need to know about starting out in stocks. Our special guest is Joe Youssef, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Distribution with Two Harbours Asset Management. You can learn more about Joe on LinkedIn.
Key Takeaways:Understanding Shares: Shares represent ownership in a company. When private companies go public, they offer shares that anyone can buy, turning shareholders into partial owners.

Ethical Investing: Ethical investing is becoming increasingly prominent. Investors often choose not to invest in sectors like gambling, tobacco, or certain pharmaceuticals based on personal or religious beliefs.

Notable Quotes:

Pete Burrows: "It’s a flexible way to make money… the very transparency of the share market is what scares people about it."
Joe Youssef: "Historically, no market has generated the most capital returns as well as income for investors than the stock market."

Key Takeaways:
Difference Between Redundancy and Retrenchment: Redundancy is a job role being removed. Retrenchment is more personal, related to your job performance.
Immediate Actions: If you are made redundant, start looking for new jobs ASAP, consult financial professionals, and consider budgeting your redundancy payment as a wage.
Tax: Understand the tax-free components of redundancy payments. Where possible, time redundancy to maximise tax benefits.
Psychological Impact: Redundancy can deeply affect your identity and emotional well-being. Seek support and aim to view it as an opportunity rather than judgment.
Financial Planning: Consider paying off high-interest debts, topping up superannuation, or investing redundancy payments to ensure financial stability.
Notable Quotes:
"Retrenchment is generally more specific to a person, while positions get made redundant." - Pete Burrows
"I've seen some clients get made redundant and then after some time, say it was the best thing that happened to them." - Pete Burrows
"It's important to think of redundancy payments as wages and not just spend it all at once." - Pete Burrows
"Redundancy seems more commonplace in recent times." - Ben McEachen
"It's nothing personal from your employer, and it also isn’t any kind of punishment or judgment by God. It’s a fact of life." - Pete Burrows
