1
00:00:00,089 --> 00:00:03,651
The government just introduced 5% deposits. People

2
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:06,912
can go and put a 5% deposit for a home. Dumb. All they're

3
00:00:06,952 --> 00:00:10,294
doing is creating future debt servitude for young people in the country.

4
00:00:10,454 --> 00:00:14,976
Stupid. And all that's going to do is pump up the price again because

5
00:00:15,116 --> 00:00:18,898
this whole short-term idea of trying to help mortgage holders by dropping 25 basis

6
00:00:18,958 --> 00:00:22,120
points to alleviate a couple hundred bucks a month, it's probably caused some big

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,542
problems long-term. They should have just bloody left it. What's happening in the government

8
00:00:25,582 --> 00:00:28,804
level is they're so afraid of the word recession that they're

9
00:00:28,844 --> 00:00:32,287
pulling all the levers they can to avoid it, which includes cutting rates.

10
00:00:32,527 --> 00:00:35,910
But here's the thing. If you cut rates and inflation goes up,

11
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:39,332
you might avoid a recession for a period of time. But if inflation gets

12
00:00:39,392 --> 00:00:42,735
entrenched, you start to whittle away the wealth of the country. We're currently

13
00:00:42,755 --> 00:00:45,997
in the greatest property bubble in the country's history in the last 130 years.

14
00:00:46,357 --> 00:00:49,739
It's obvious. I'm Lloyd James Ross, seven-figure investor and

15
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,281
entrepreneur, and I've helped thousands of business owners and professionals turn

16
00:00:53,321 --> 00:00:56,622
financial stress into success. If you're stuck in old money

17
00:00:56,662 --> 00:01:00,143
habits, overwhelmed by investing, or unsure where to start, this

18
00:01:00,304 --> 00:01:03,945
is for you. I'll give you the mindset and strategies to take control,

19
00:01:04,265 --> 00:01:07,467
grow your wealth, and achieve financial freedom. It's time to

20
00:01:07,507 --> 00:01:10,928
make your money work for you. We

21
00:01:11,008 --> 00:01:14,812
saw the July inflation data come in, and it is coming in hot, meaning

22
00:01:14,872 --> 00:01:18,275
that's bad. What do I mean by that? Well, the Consumer Price

23
00:01:18,315 --> 00:01:21,518
Index, or CPI Index, which is the rate at which prices of goods

24
00:01:21,558 --> 00:01:25,001
and services rise on a monthly and annual basis, is

25
00:01:25,021 --> 00:01:28,824
they saw this. Since the start of the year to June, CPI,

26
00:01:28,884 --> 00:01:31,967
or inflation, was running at about 1.9%, which is right in

27
00:01:31,987 --> 00:01:35,871
the band of where the Reserve Bank wants to see inflation. However,

28
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:40,513
Last month, they cut the rates 0.25% down

29
00:01:40,553 --> 00:01:43,996
to 3.6%. So the cash rate or the reserve rate with

30
00:01:44,016 --> 00:01:47,641
the RBA is 3.6%. And that's coming down lower,

31
00:01:48,141 --> 00:01:51,285
which is going to stifle inflation. I mean, how stupid do you have

32
00:01:51,305 --> 00:01:54,588
to be as a reserve bank to not realize that people

33
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:58,272
are spending money already, there's full employment. you're

34
00:01:58,372 --> 00:02:01,835
immigrating a whole Canberra every single year

35
00:02:01,915 --> 00:02:05,338
into the country, what do you think's going to happen if you reduce rates?

36
00:02:06,058 --> 00:02:09,581
Of course, it's going to tick up inflation. And that's exactly what's happened.

37
00:02:09,982 --> 00:02:13,464
It's exactly what's happened. So the data to July

38
00:02:13,504 --> 00:02:16,613
has come in at 2.8%. So

39
00:02:16,633 --> 00:02:20,059
the expectations were probably around 2.1, it's 2.8, that's

40
00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:24,025
a huge pump. That's like a 40% uplift

41
00:02:24,425 --> 00:02:28,912
in inflation. So inflation rose by 40% from the

42
00:02:29,013 --> 00:02:32,618
expected numbers. Now, CPI or Consumer

43
00:02:32,678 --> 00:02:35,959
Price Index, the number they're running from, it

44
00:02:35,999 --> 00:02:40,741
covers generally housing, tobacco,

45
00:02:41,721 --> 00:02:45,882
it covers food, and those numbers, frankly,

46
00:02:45,902 --> 00:02:49,183
are actually higher. If you look at those specific three numbers of

47
00:02:49,243 --> 00:02:52,564
inflation, food is like 3%, housing has gone up over 3%, and

48
00:02:52,604 --> 00:02:55,796
tobacco is 6.5%. So Australians, yeah, we

49
00:02:55,816 --> 00:03:00,420
like to eat, we like to have shelter and we like to smoke. So

50
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:06,346
you think about that. So the number's probably more like 3.1%, which

51
00:03:06,406 --> 00:03:10,229
is unbelievable. So that's almost like a 50% jump in

52
00:03:10,269 --> 00:03:14,813
the inflation rate. And the reason that's happened is because the

53
00:03:14,954 --> 00:03:18,237
RBA has dropped rates when they should have left them as is. They should have

54
00:03:18,297 --> 00:03:22,052
left them. And the reason why they didn't is

55
00:03:22,112 --> 00:03:25,393
because most people in Australia have gone

56
00:03:25,473 --> 00:03:28,855
and borrowed to the hilt as much as they can to buy

57
00:03:28,955 --> 00:03:32,076
overpriced housing. Now, before you tell me it's not overpriced, let me

58
00:03:32,096 --> 00:03:35,898
tell you something. Housing is a financial asset and

59
00:03:36,338 --> 00:03:39,599
there is an episode on here. If you go click

60
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:43,421
through, hit the subscribe button and go click through the episode we talk about with

61
00:03:44,281 --> 00:03:47,503
housing and what's happening in the housing industry. We've done lots

62
00:03:47,523 --> 00:03:50,704
of episodes on that but there's some fresh ones so go check

63
00:03:50,724 --> 00:03:53,860
it out. Housing is

64
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,243
a financial asset and the reason it's a financial asset is because

65
00:03:57,624 --> 00:04:00,967
you can lease it out to a tenant and get income from it and

66
00:04:00,987 --> 00:04:04,311
you produce yield, right? So the asset can yield income

67
00:04:04,431 --> 00:04:07,734
and cash flow. And of course, because it's attached to land, over

68
00:04:07,774 --> 00:04:10,837
time with population growth and demand, the supply of land is

69
00:04:10,937 --> 00:04:14,121
static and demand, which is population growth, makes the

70
00:04:14,281 --> 00:04:18,222
price of the land go up over time, right? And so, it's

71
00:04:18,242 --> 00:04:21,283
a financial asset. And the reason I

72
00:04:21,323 --> 00:04:24,804
know it's overpriced is because if you were to go and buy a property and

73
00:04:24,864 --> 00:04:28,126
lease it out, the rental return of say

74
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:31,327
three and a half percent, which is what the tenant pays you, three and

75
00:04:31,347 --> 00:04:34,908
a half percent of the asset value is what the rental return would be. The rent doesn't

76
00:04:34,948 --> 00:04:38,440
cover the repayments of a typical mortgage. Doesn't because

77
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,825
if mortgage rates, the retail rates to say 6%, which

78
00:04:41,885 --> 00:04:45,209
they are, and you've got rental

79
00:04:45,229 --> 00:04:48,614
yields at three and a half to 4% that the

80
00:04:48,714 --> 00:04:52,595
assets not producing enough to cover the repayments of a mortgage. So

81
00:04:52,655 --> 00:04:55,857
it's prima facie overpriced. Now, if yields were

82
00:04:55,897 --> 00:04:58,959
more like five or over 5%, it

83
00:04:58,979 --> 00:05:02,200
would be fairly priced or potentially undervalued, but it's not.

84
00:05:03,961 --> 00:05:07,823
And the reason it's also not is because there's tons of signals that dictate that

85
00:05:07,843 --> 00:05:12,546
it's overpriced. There's people living in tents. The government

86
00:05:12,626 --> 00:05:16,588
just introduced, just this week, they introduced 5% deposits

87
00:05:19,966 --> 00:05:23,487
where people can go and put a 5% deposit for a home. And

88
00:05:23,507 --> 00:05:27,227
all that's gonna do is pump up the price again, because

89
00:05:27,967 --> 00:05:31,108
people are gonna be able to get in a little bit easier. Mind you, that doesn't make

90
00:05:31,128 --> 00:05:34,228
it easier for them to service the loan, which is still important, but it

91
00:05:34,429 --> 00:05:37,649
does reduce the amount of deposit required. So that's gonna pump

92
00:05:37,709 --> 00:05:41,150
up a little bit. And they brought that policy forward three months. Why?

93
00:05:42,030 --> 00:05:45,250
Because they're trying to get it to the next edge. They're trying to save the

94
00:05:45,290 --> 00:05:49,113
property market. And if you look at what the RBA did, with

95
00:05:49,133 --> 00:05:52,715
the rate cut, they are trying to save the property market,

96
00:05:52,835 --> 00:05:56,616
or they're trying to save people with these big mortgages that they should never really have

97
00:05:56,696 --> 00:06:00,198
got. But because of the policies and the immigration coming into the country,

98
00:06:01,578 --> 00:06:04,899
it's created a property bubble. And it's

99
00:06:04,919 --> 00:06:08,121
getting ridiculous now, really, frankly, but that's what's happened. And

100
00:06:08,161 --> 00:06:11,862
so you've got this situation structurally where you've got inflated housing

101
00:06:11,882 --> 00:06:15,153
because of immigration, frankly, If you pull in six

102
00:06:15,193 --> 00:06:18,554
or seven or eight thousand people a year and there's only so much housing to

103
00:06:18,574 --> 00:06:23,556
go around, and by the way, there's only 53,000, 53,000 market

104
00:06:23,596 --> 00:06:27,156
jobs, meaning non-government jobs available. So what the hell are

105
00:06:27,857 --> 00:06:31,158
700 or 600,000 people going to do when they come here when there's only

106
00:06:32,018 --> 00:06:35,459
53,000 open market jobs available and the government jobs are done? I'm pretty

107
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:38,860
sure they're even stopping government jobs happening now because they

108
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,672
had employed a lot into the sector. And Australia is

109
00:06:42,692 --> 00:06:45,773
now one of the highest employees in the public sector, in the

110
00:06:45,833 --> 00:06:49,195
government. So what are they going to do with the 550,000 other people?

111
00:06:50,175 --> 00:06:53,836
They can't all be Uber drivers, right? So you're going to have this situation where

112
00:06:54,397 --> 00:06:57,918
property is being pumped up, and it shouldn't be. And

113
00:06:57,938 --> 00:07:01,139
the reason why people are mortgaged to the Hiltons is because they have to borrow money to

114
00:07:01,179 --> 00:07:04,840
buy the houses, right? And so we've caused

115
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,316
this ourselves. And of course when the RBA

116
00:07:08,376 --> 00:07:11,983
drops rates to save mortgage holders,

117
00:07:12,403 --> 00:07:15,529
because they've got a million dollars worth of debt, and every little morsel of

118
00:07:15,629 --> 00:07:20,129
cut, like 0.25 or 25 basis points, That's

119
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:23,470
going to save them a couple hundred bucks a month. But that couple hundred bucks a month

120
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:27,812
to a couple who's already both working, got kids in daycare, and

121
00:07:28,372 --> 00:07:31,714
is paying at their butt for petrol and gas and energy

122
00:07:31,754 --> 00:07:34,955
because of energy policy, then a little bit does count

123
00:07:34,995 --> 00:07:38,716
for them. So the RBA is considering mortgage holders when they make these cuts.

124
00:07:39,197 --> 00:07:43,478
But what they don't realize, well, they might realize, is that when you cut rates, you

125
00:07:43,538 --> 00:07:46,599
really crank up inflation. Because what you're doing then is

126
00:07:46,619 --> 00:07:50,082
you're creating more You're certainly creating more debt

127
00:07:50,102 --> 00:07:53,365
availability because people are borrowing more money. And it's also pumping up

128
00:07:53,405 --> 00:07:56,668
the price of things because you are alleviating some cash flow in

129
00:07:56,688 --> 00:08:00,071
the household budget for them to go and buy more cigarettes and buy more groceries

130
00:08:00,111 --> 00:08:03,294
and so forth. So that's how it happens. Now, why

131
00:08:03,314 --> 00:08:06,417
is this a problem? Why are you talking about this,

132
00:08:06,457 --> 00:08:09,651
Lloyd? Why is it such a catastrophic decision? And

133
00:08:09,691 --> 00:08:12,954
I put it on my stories on Instagram yesterday and a friend of mine said, what does this mean?

134
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:16,817
Cause I put there that the RBA made a catastrophic mistake by

135
00:08:16,857 --> 00:08:19,920
cutting rates. The inflation's gone up by 40% in the

136
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,343
last month from the start of the year to now it's cranked up.

137
00:08:24,744 --> 00:08:28,187
And the reason why it's an error is because if inflation gets entrenched and

138
00:08:28,207 --> 00:08:32,590
you can't get hold of it and it starts to grow, you know, 3%, 4%, 5%, if

139
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:35,813
inflation goes up to five or more percent, which is what's happening currently in the

140
00:08:35,833 --> 00:08:39,501
UK, I believe is. that

141
00:08:40,162 --> 00:08:43,365
you start to cook the currency, obviously. And people in Australia call

142
00:08:43,385 --> 00:08:46,588
our currency the Pacific peso because the policies in

143
00:08:46,648 --> 00:08:50,111
place currently in the country are making our dollar worth a lot less.

144
00:08:50,431 --> 00:08:53,734
And that's why people are running to things like Bitcoin and so forth

145
00:08:53,754 --> 00:08:58,499
because they're trying to find something that doesn't destroy their

146
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,702
gains of wealth, right? And it's also why they also want

147
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:05,346
property too, because when you do buy property, you do

148
00:09:05,407 --> 00:09:08,530
have a hedge against inflationary pressures. But it doesn't work so good when you've

149
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:11,894
got a massive mortgage and it's costing you more than, you know, you're

150
00:09:11,955 --> 00:09:15,199
sucking out your whole life to pay for it. This is who cares, right,

151
00:09:15,299 --> 00:09:18,683
about inflation if that's happening. But if inflation

152
00:09:18,723 --> 00:09:22,597
does get carried away, then it has

153
00:09:22,637 --> 00:09:25,918
a huge impact on the economic growth of the country. Just

159
00:09:43,146 --> 00:09:46,868
to the episode. What's happening in Australia is we're very anemic,

160
00:09:47,148 --> 00:09:50,869
like we're like a 0.5% fall

161
00:09:50,909 --> 00:09:54,330
in GDP away from having an actual technical recession.

162
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:57,851
And by all accounts, and you'll say this in the comments no doubt too, we have been

163
00:09:57,891 --> 00:10:01,553
in a GDP per capita recession for

164
00:10:01,713 --> 00:10:05,634
seven quarters or eight quarters, so the last almost two years. And

165
00:10:06,094 --> 00:10:09,395
so we are. But what's happening in the government level is they're

166
00:10:09,415 --> 00:10:12,676
so afraid of the word recession that they're pulling all

167
00:10:12,696 --> 00:10:16,397
the levers they can to avoid it, which includes cutting rates. But

168
00:10:16,437 --> 00:10:20,299
here's the thing, if you cut rates, And

169
00:10:20,339 --> 00:10:23,361
inflation goes up. You might avoid a

170
00:10:23,422 --> 00:10:27,585
recession for a period of time, but if inflation gets entrenched, you

171
00:10:27,625 --> 00:10:31,508
start to whittle away the wealth of the country and it starts to get extremely difficult

172
00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:34,971
to grow. And you can go into what's called stagflation. And

173
00:10:35,031 --> 00:10:39,714
stagflation occurs when you start to drop rates to stoke growth. But

174
00:10:39,734 --> 00:10:43,055
it has the opposite effect because of inflation and all of a sudden you get negative

175
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:46,537
growth. And all of a sudden you cannot pull the lever of dropping

176
00:10:46,597 --> 00:10:49,698
rates to restoke the economy. You can't do it

177
00:10:49,738 --> 00:10:52,839
anymore. And you get stagflation. And stagflation is where we go into a bit of a

178
00:10:52,899 --> 00:10:56,701
death spiral towards negative growth for consecutive quarters.

179
00:10:57,561 --> 00:11:00,842
And that scares the government. And so it should. Because

180
00:11:00,882 --> 00:11:04,063
it's what happened in the 1970s with the oil embargo, where the

181
00:11:04,083 --> 00:11:07,464
price of oil went way up. And oil is

182
00:11:07,484 --> 00:11:10,805
in everything. It's in our phones. It's in everything, right?

183
00:11:11,025 --> 00:11:14,166
Plastics. So when price of oil goes up, everything goes up. So we had

184
00:11:14,186 --> 00:11:18,108
this massive spike in inflation. And of course, the

185
00:11:18,148 --> 00:11:22,090
currency was just getting burnt. And if you go into hyperinflation,

186
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:25,691
you can destroy the currency and it can absolutely turn the

187
00:11:25,731 --> 00:11:29,433
country into an absolute economic

188
00:11:29,894 --> 00:11:33,395
tornado. And it's what happened in Germany before World War II. It's

189
00:11:33,435 --> 00:11:36,617
happened in many other countries. And they've had to,

190
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:41,339
I mean, the economy's just basically been destroyed and job losses

191
00:11:41,359 --> 00:11:44,493
go way up, many bad things happen. So if you go and look

192
00:11:44,533 --> 00:11:47,896
at history, stagflation is not a good place to be. And so what the government

193
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:51,718
will want to do is prevent that happening. So they'll have to actually bring

194
00:11:51,758 --> 00:11:54,880
inflation down. Here's the only way

195
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,423
you can pretty much do that, is the only way to do that is to increase

196
00:12:00,373 --> 00:12:03,675
the rates, increase the cash rate, increase the reserve

197
00:12:03,735 --> 00:12:06,976
rate. So that means we're gonna, if inflation ticks up again and

198
00:12:07,016 --> 00:12:10,558
again and again, and we can't get hold of it, to actually break inflation

199
00:12:10,578 --> 00:12:14,000
and bring it down again, you have to lift rates above the rate of, way

200
00:12:14,060 --> 00:12:17,782
above the rate of inflation. So don't be surprised if

201
00:12:17,902 --> 00:12:21,163
instead of a rate cut or two that people are expecting in November, on

202
00:12:21,183 --> 00:12:24,785
the 4th of November, the RBA will have a chance to either

203
00:12:25,105 --> 00:12:28,267
keep rates the same, cut them or increase them. And they meet first Tuesday of

204
00:12:28,307 --> 00:12:32,169
every month to do that. And when they do it next

205
00:12:32,229 --> 00:12:36,232
time, don't be surprised to see no cuts. They'll probably

206
00:12:36,272 --> 00:12:40,374
keep it on hold next month. And in November, usually

207
00:12:40,394 --> 00:12:43,937
about the Melbourne Cup, on the Melbourne Cup, our big horse race here, our

208
00:12:44,037 --> 00:12:48,199
annual sporting event, they

209
00:12:48,299 --> 00:12:52,512
may even have to put it back up. And

210
00:12:52,592 --> 00:12:55,896
so this whole short-term idea of trying to help mortgage holders by dropping

211
00:12:56,157 --> 00:12:59,501
like 25 basis points to alleviate a couple hundred bucks a month, it's

212
00:12:59,581 --> 00:13:02,845
probably caused some big problems long-term. They should have just bloody left

213
00:13:02,905 --> 00:13:06,309
it. They should have just left it at 4.5% and let the

214
00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:09,772
property market swallow it. But they're too

215
00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:12,933
afraid because of the backlash, they're too

216
00:13:12,953 --> 00:13:16,194
afraid of their own properties falling in value, because property is a religion in

217
00:13:16,234 --> 00:13:19,354
this country. And heaven forbid it ever goes backwards by a

218
00:13:19,394 --> 00:13:22,775
millimeter, because then, oh my God, right? But the reality is,

219
00:13:22,835 --> 00:13:25,916
if you want a nice steady growing economy, having the odd recession is

220
00:13:25,956 --> 00:13:29,476
not a bad thing. You can't have something just go straight up. The

221
00:13:29,516 --> 00:13:32,897
only Ponzi schemes do that. Like Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme goes straight

222
00:13:32,997 --> 00:13:36,558
up. And you're not going to have a property market that just goes up forever. It's not

223
00:13:36,598 --> 00:13:39,719
going to happen. So we either deal with it now or we don't. And

224
00:13:39,739 --> 00:13:42,961
it looks like they're not going to. They're dropping the deposit rates to

225
00:13:44,102 --> 00:13:48,965
5%. Dumb. Dumb. All they're doing is creating future

226
00:13:49,045 --> 00:13:52,147
debt servitude for young people in the country. Stupid. It's going to prop the

227
00:13:52,187 --> 00:13:55,329
prices up again. Then they're cutting rates when they

228
00:13:55,349 --> 00:13:58,711
should increase them and keep them. So I hope that the RBA

229
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:03,361
in the future, lifts rates back up, you have

230
00:14:03,421 --> 00:14:06,964
foreclosures, short-term pain, to

231
00:14:07,004 --> 00:14:10,346
then bring prices back down a little bit to where they're a little bit more affordable for

232
00:14:10,386 --> 00:14:14,418
people, and you have a better country. But of course, the underlying

233
00:14:14,678 --> 00:14:17,901
or the outlier to that equation, as to whether that will

234
00:14:17,921 --> 00:14:23,965
happen or not, is of course, immigration. I

235
00:14:24,845 --> 00:14:27,908
watched a wonderful talk from Pauline Hanson yesterday. Now, love it

236
00:14:27,948 --> 00:14:31,670
or hate it, I don't really care. And you're welcome to put some comments down below. to

237
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:35,052
what you think, but I saw her do a talk yesterday and

238
00:14:35,072 --> 00:14:38,694
it was just spot on. Drop immigration to 130,000 a year, which

239
00:14:38,734 --> 00:14:41,896
sustains the birth rate and doesn't have a reducing population. A

240
00:14:42,277 --> 00:14:45,679
lot of people think that we need all these people. We don't. We get all of our wealth

241
00:14:45,719 --> 00:14:51,062
from resources in the ground. We only need 130,000 coming in to sustain growth. We

242
00:14:51,102 --> 00:14:54,563
don't need crazy number of people here. So drop

243
00:14:54,603 --> 00:14:58,064
the immigration rate down to 130k, start

244
00:14:58,084 --> 00:15:01,565
to shift the energy policy and start producing gas and nuclear projects. And

245
00:15:01,585 --> 00:15:04,966
again, all you nuclear, anti-nuclear people, pop your comments below,

246
00:15:05,006 --> 00:15:08,607
have a whinge below. I'm happy to come and talk to you about it. But you

247
00:15:08,687 --> 00:15:11,867
can't have a country that's producing all these natural resources and have

248
00:15:11,967 --> 00:15:15,028
energy problems. And then of course, leave rates a

249
00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:18,249
bit higher so we can have the recession that we need to have. to

250
00:15:18,329 --> 00:15:21,650
reset prices and help the people that are

251
00:15:21,690 --> 00:15:24,952
in this country, to help the citizens of the country, not the people just coming in randomly

252
00:15:24,972 --> 00:15:28,233
who haven't been here and built the country. So go check

253
00:15:28,253 --> 00:15:31,874
that out. I think if you go to her Twitter account or X account, you can listen

254
00:15:31,914 --> 00:15:35,075
to what she said. Now, love or hate her, what she

255
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:38,477
says, she's the only one who's got any balls to say

256
00:15:38,517 --> 00:15:41,958
what we need to say so we can save the economy in this country. Because

257
00:15:41,998 --> 00:15:45,439
I don't know about you, but I love living in a prosperous country. I

258
00:15:45,499 --> 00:15:48,701
love it when we can afford housing. I love it when we

259
00:15:48,741 --> 00:15:52,043
have steady sustainable growth and right now we're on the precipice of not that.

260
00:15:52,603 --> 00:15:56,325
Anyway, that's why the RBA may have made a catastrophic

261
00:15:56,345 --> 00:15:59,827
mistake. I believe they did by cutting rates and don't be surprised if

262
00:15:59,867 --> 00:16:03,049
you see him on hold and then don't be surprised if you see

263
00:16:03,069 --> 00:16:06,431
him go up. So prepare for it, buckle up, start

264
00:16:06,451 --> 00:16:09,633
putting things in place now to to actually de-lever if

265
00:16:09,653 --> 00:16:13,054
you're leveraged up, to just de-leverage. No one says

266
00:16:13,074 --> 00:16:16,575
you've got to keep a flip in hand. You can rent. Again, I know

267
00:16:16,615 --> 00:16:19,976
the comments, oh my God, that's the worst thing you could say, but

268
00:16:20,056 --> 00:16:23,757
I rent and I sleep well at night. Sometimes

269
00:16:23,797 --> 00:16:27,098
it's not about keeping up with the Joneses, it's not about how big your house

270
00:16:27,198 --> 00:16:30,319
is, it's not about I'm on the property ladder, it's about are you happy and

271
00:16:30,339 --> 00:16:34,518
are you financially at peace? Most people aren't. So

272
00:16:34,738 --> 00:16:38,281
perhaps shift your objectives, shift

273
00:16:38,301 --> 00:16:41,683
your approach, start making some money moves to be financially

274
00:16:41,723 --> 00:16:45,085
at peace and not simply on the treadmill or on the rat race

275
00:16:45,185 --> 00:16:48,408
of trying to keep up with the Joneses who've got their fourth property. Because it

276
00:16:48,488 --> 00:16:51,750
doesn't look like it's going to end well from here going forward. It will

277
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:55,152
happen. We're currently in the greatest property bubble in the country's history

278
00:16:55,172 --> 00:16:59,315
in the last 130 years. It's obvious. It's obvious. So

279
00:16:59,395 --> 00:17:02,799
just be aware if you take the 5% deposit and put in now and

280
00:17:02,839 --> 00:17:06,082
rates go up, don't be surprised if you have to then foreclose because you

281
00:17:06,402 --> 00:17:09,520
messed up. It's not a good time to be making the

282
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,301
bold property acquisition is in my eyes. But again, you

283
00:17:13,321 --> 00:17:16,502
got to do what you need to do, but just be ready for what's going to happen in rates because

284
00:17:16,522 --> 00:17:20,123
they may go up and that may impact you massively. All right, that's it. Leave

285

286

287
00:17:26,964 --> 00:17:30,105
buddy says, why do you reply to all the comments? It's brutal. I'm like, because I still love

288
00:17:30,165 --> 00:17:33,466
everyone. They're entitled to their opinion and it makes a lot of fun, right?

289
00:17:33,926 --> 00:17:37,207
I ain't scared for a fight. So, all awesome love. And if you love,
