How much is enough? It’s a question I’ve been wrestling with—not just personally, but in so many chats with friends and clients lately.

Today, I’m joined by Stuart Wemyss to unpack this exact topic. We talk about the tension between growing your wealth and enjoying it, how guilt can sneak in when we spend, and why creating balance isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategy.

We delve into the psychology behind money habits, particularly for property investors at various stages—whether you're in acquisition, consolidation, or nearing retirement. Stuart shares some powerful insights on using property, super, and tax strategies for long-term financial independence. He also explains why holding onto property for too long might harm your retirement income and what to consider instead.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re investing enough (or maybe investing too much), this episode will help you zoom out and get clear on what you're working toward.

Let’s go inside.
