Sean and Monique were told no for 3 years. 90 days in, almost $30,000 is off their mortgage. Sean and Monique had spent years asking for help with their money and hearing no from everyone, financial advisors included. When Infinity said not yet back in 2023, they took it personally and went to work. The 3 years that followed were brutal. The business dried up after Covid, they lost a pregnancy two weeks before Christmas, a tornado cut their power for a fortnight, and they separated for a week to work out what they actually wanted. They came back, signed up in April, and two sweeps later almost $30,000 is gone from the mortgage. Sean still calls it witchcraft. Want to improve your own financial future?

In their 50s, Brad and Fiona paid $45,000 to the bank in a year, but less than $10,000 came off their home loan. Their mortgage had kept creeping up, and they knew they needed a plan for retirement. After looking closer, they realised they had paid $45,000 to the bank in one year while reducing their loan by less than $10,000. After watching the free webinar and completing the masterclass, they saw a potential path to pay off their home loan in less than 5 years. Now, just 90 days in, the future feels very different.

Jim Chalmers says you'll "get over" the broken tax promise, but Sydney rents just hit $900 a week. This month we unpack Chalmers' admission that Labor broke its negative gearing and capital gains tax promise, and what "you'll get over it" actually means for renters and investors. We cover the case for capping migration to housing supply, why first home buyer loan applications are down 19% while rents keep climbing, and the RBA's rate hold despite underlying inflation sitting at its highest level in years. Then the full data deep-dive: Sydney's price slump versus Brisbane and Perth's building boom, Melbourne's approvals slide, investor lending down 14.9%, and the auction clearance rates hinting at an early spring revival.

Woody and Natalie were in their 50s with an $800,000 mortgage, and the plan was to use super to clear it. Good jobs, no debt except the home loan, and no real plan beyond the status quo. The retirement plan was to use super to pay off the mortgage and downsize, and it never sat right with Woody. There had to be a better way. They talk about the light bulb moment that interest is calculated daily, the savings account they were holding while owing $800,000, and the slush fund Woody quietly ran for years. Less than two years later the loan sits at about $630,000, and Woody rang the bank because he could not believe it was real. Want to improve your own financial future?

Gemma and Toby were comfortable. Good jobs, a house they'd built on ten acres, a $425,000 mortgage they weren't losing sleep over, which is exactly why doing nothing felt so easy. Then Gemma sat through a free webinar, decided to test what she'd heard about credit cards, and closed hers from the front seat of her car. They talk through the declined card that changed how she spends, Toby's scepticism right through the first strategy meeting, and what a 30-year loan looks like now, with three investment properties, a wedding in Tassie and four months at home with their son.

They thought they were doing everything right, until they realised how much longer they'd be paying off their mortgage. This honest conversation follows the moment everything changed, from scepticism and uncertainty to a clear financial plan with a goal they never thought was possible. 👉 If this story resonates with you and you want to start setting yourself up for financial freedom, it all starts with our free webinar: https://bit.ly/43V2jKN Before joining Infinity, Joanne and Ray had a family home, an investment property and money sitting in offset, but they still felt unsure whether they were making the most of their finances. While Joanne was ready to make a change, Ray wasn't convinced and questioned whether they needed help at all. After taking the leap, they discovered a strategy that completely changed the way they viewed money. Within their first 90 days they had already made significant progress on their mortgage, and for the first time could see a path to becoming debt free in under 10 years. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough with your money, their journey may answer a few of your own questions. #FinancialFreedom #Mortgage #PersonalFinance

This month's Wilson Monthly Market Update kicks off with a hard look at the Prime Minister's recent comments on negative gearing reform — and why the reasoning behind restricting it to one or two properties doesn't match how Australian tax law actually works. From there, the conversation moves into what's shaping up to be one of the biggest questions facing renters and investors alike: as investors exit the market ahead of new taxation changes, what happens to an already undersupplied rental market?The episode also breaks down the government's expanded Help to Buy scheme and asks whether shared equity solves affordability or just shifts ownership (and risk) onto taxpayers, before moving into the regular data deep-dive: the RBA's rate-hold heading into a bigger August decision, a mixed inflation print with underlying inflation ticking up to its highest level since 2004, an easing unemployment rate, home building approvals split sharply between the booming Perth/Brisbane markets and the still-struggling Melbourne/Sydney unit sector, and the latest auction clearance rates — including early signs of a possible turnaround in Melbourne.As always: rents, rates, building approvals, capital city price trends, and the long-term data that puts the current cycle in context.Money Mentor YouTube Channel: @moneymentorauDr Andrew Wilson on LinkedIn: /dr-andrewIf you enjoyed our podcast, make sure you follow and subscribe to stay up to date with the latest episodes.👉 Follow the link ⁠https://bit.ly/43V2jKN⁠ to watch the free webinar and start your Infinity journey now!

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Podcast Rachael sits down with Kale and Grace - and if you are young and wondering whether now is the right time to get serious about money, this episode is for you. At twenty-six and twenty seven, they had done something many their age only talk about - they got into the property market. But six months in, with a sizeable mortgage, almost nothing in savings, a wedding on the horizon, and a social circle with very different priorities, anxiety started to creep in. They looked around and found nobody in their world having the same conversation. Then they found Infinity - and the professional advice they needed to move forward without fear. What followed was a masterclass in what is possible when young people choose differently. Almost $100,000 stripped from their mortgage and two investment properties secured. Not only did Kale and Grace find the professionals, at Infinity they discovered a supportive community of people who share their goals, and who freely talk about the oddly taboo topic - wealth creation. In this episode Kale and Grace share what it feels like to swim against the tide, how they kept each other motivated, and what they would say to every young couple sitting on the fence right now. Kale and Grace didn't wait - and now they are unstoppable. Ready to change your financial future? 👉 Start by watching the FREE webinar and see what's possible: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/43V2jKN
