This is a repeat of our recent Listener Favourite Episode: 303 You can compare things but you can't compare experiences It is human nature to compare ourselves to others.

This is a repeat of Listener Favourite: Fridges with ice makers Bringing you another Listener Favourite this week - Fridges with ice makers! When you were a kid, do you remember visiting friends’ fancy houses and comparing them to your own? For Dallas, the epitome of a fancy house was one that had an ice maker. If one of his friends had a house that featured one of these, in his eyes, they had really “made it” in life. As an adult, Dallas is now contemplating becoming one of these people. Yes, he wants a fridge with an ice maker, because – well, they’re pretty cool. So should he spend the money on it, and when? And is it really worthwhile? This episode is not about fancy fridges or rich friends – it’s about making thoughtful financial decisions.

Mon, 29 May 2023 - 07min - 391 - 311 Listener Favourite: Why should it be easy?
This is a repeat of one of our listener favourites. If you wanted to lose weight, would you sit on the couch eating donuts, or have a salad and do some exercise?

And like losing weight, saving money and preparing for retirement is a long game. In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss the difficulties of investing in the long term – and why some people succeed while others don’t. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au

This is a repeat of one of our listener favourites In our industry, it is common to see investors become fearful that bad times will last forever.

Mon, 15 May 2023 - 15min - 389 - 309 Listener Favourite: Don’t Listen to Jerry Seinfeld

Mon, 08 May 2023 - 11min - 388 - 308 You will either die early or you won’t
What do you consider to be the worst-case scenario when it comes to your retirement? Running out of money? Outliving your partner? Whatever fears people may have, many don’t tend to think they will live long enough to see their 80s or 90s, anyway. But the fact is, it’s very common for at least one person in a couple to live for 30 years or more after they’ve retired. In this episode, Dallas and Ali discuss the implications of this phase of their clients’ lives. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 - 10min - 386 - 306 Consistency and compounding
People often underestimate the power of compounding. Coupled with consistency, it’s how some people build a healthy retirement fund. It’s not that they’re just ‘good with money’ or that they have a higher income than most – rather, it’s a combination of consistency and compounding when it comes to their financial decisions. In this episode, Dallas and Ali discuss how and why this is the case (and why Ali could’ve been a professional Muay Thai boxer in another life!) For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 17 Apr 2023 - 10min - 385 - 305 Buying a house won’t make you happy
Buying a house is something that many people see as a milestone; something to aspire to. A place to call home and provide you with security.

In this episode, Dallas and Ali discuss a recent property purchase by a Money Over 50 financial adviser, and how it really made him and his wife feel. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au

For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 27 Mar 2023 - 15min - 382 - 302 You want volatility!
Fact: volatility is something we should all WANT to have! Only high volatility brings high returns – without it, we are virtually guaranteed very low returns on our hard-earned money. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss returns from the sharemarket versus returns from term deposits and junk bonds, and why some dodgy companies will try to tell you that you can have high returns without volatility.

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 - 13min - 381 - 301 Moving into cash can cost your kids instead of you
If you’re about to retire, you might feel pressure to be more conservative in your investments. One way to do this is to move your money from super to cash. This is not always a good thing, though – especially if you have kids. In this episode, Dallas and Ali discuss the ‘buffer’ of money you should have in your retirement and why moving everything into a term deposit won’t serve you well in your golden years. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 - 20min - 379 - 299 Pain from losing money is twice as strong compared to the joy felt from gaining money
It never feels good to lose something important in our lives. This is certainly true when it comes to our money – we don’t want to see its value going down, and yet it’s unavoidable due to volatility when it comes to investments. In this episode, Dallas and Ali discuss our perceptions of losing money, how loss aversion affects us and what you can do about it so that you don’t make any hasty financial decisions. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 27 Feb 2023 - 16min - 378 - 298 Be wary of living out of your home loan
If you have a home loan and can draw from it, that’s a good thing, right? Not necessarily. While having your income be paid directly into your loan account can reduce your interest, the negatives of doing this well and truly outweigh the positives. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss what the negatives are, and why you are better off having your salary paid into your bank account, instead. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 20 Feb 2023 - 13min - 377 - 297 When to take advice
Do you like taking advice from other people? Or do you listen half-heartedly before doing the exact opposite of what they have suggested?

For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Sun, 29 Jan 2023 - 13min - 374 - 294 High water marks are dangerous
Over the last decade, we've come to realise that people who check their super balance frequently are also the ones prone to panic when it comes to market volatility. So how can you avoid this? In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss how often you should check your balance, and why setting the bar at the highest mark is not a good idea. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au

Have you ever embarked on building a 9,000+ piece Lego display? This is Michael’s current project with his young son, Richie: building a giant model of the Titanic. For Michael, instead of ripping his hair out, there’s only one way to build the ship – brick by (Lego) brick. If you want to improve your financial standing, you can apply the same philosophy – take small steps, one at a time. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss what those initial small steps should be. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Sun, 15 Jan 2023 - 12min - 372 - 292 33 Years of retirement

In this episode, Dallas and Michael will get you thinking about the many years of retirement that we are lucky to get these days. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Sun, 08 Jan 2023 - 14min - 371 - 291 You’re not going to be dead by 80
Have you ever thought about when you’re going to die? It’s probably not something most of us think about often. Yet when we have meetings with clients, many are quick to tell us they’ll be dead by 80. The statement can lead to some awkward laughter; however, the reality of how long you’re likely to actually live and how much money you’ll need might seem more grim than the thought of dying before 80. There’s nothing grim about this episode, though – listen to Dallas and Michael discuss how life expectancy affects retirement. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Sun, 01 Jan 2023 - 12min - 370 - 290 Why diversify

Sun, 18 Dec 2022 - 17min - 368 - 288 Rationality under uncertainty

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 - 11min - 367 - 287 How cash in the bank can change behaviour
How does your cash dictate your behaviour? What is the amount that you are not willing to go under when it comes to your bank balance? Is it $100 or $100,000? Michael and Dallas discuss why knowing this very specific number is important, and how it can change your financial outlook and behaviour. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 - 21min - 364 - 284 Stop neglecting yourself!
Are you neglecting yourself lately? Maybe it’s time to stop. We’re not talking about self-care – facials, massages, holidays … although if that’s your thing, nobody is going to stop you. We’re talking specifically about giving money to adult children, and how it may be impacting you negatively if you choose to do this.

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 - 15min - 363 - 283 Do you have any idea how long shares have been around for?
Aren’t shares risky? What if my money disappears? What if markets crash or companies go bankrupt? These are some of the questions we get from clients, listeners, friends and family.

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 - 19min - 362 - 282 Why companies share prices keep growing
Did you know that in 1925, Woolworths had just five supermarkets? Fast forward almost 100 years and they have over a thousand. Because of this, the price of their shares has gone up. But company expansion isn’t the only reason for increasing share prices. There are four reasons why share prices are always increasing. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss what the four reasons are, and how they impact investors. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 31 Oct 2022 - 21min - 361 - 281 The Simple Things
Imagine you’re being chauffeured across the French countryside, and you’re biting into a freshly baked, crusty white baguette. Now add some Brie cheese … and pair it with a glass of local wine – the type that makes you want to swirl your glass around and breathe in deeply. Are your eyes closed in pure joy yet? We love the way that a lot of French people live their lives, enjoying the simple things and not focusing solely on their financial future. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss why some things are more important than others, and how enjoying the simple things might help your financial outlook over the long term.

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 - 22min - 359 - 279 Free Markets
When Michael visited China with his mother and met a hundred-year-old farmer, he had no idea that they would end up discussing economics. Then again, given Michael’s line of work, we shouldn’t be all that surprised that’s where the conversation headed! The farmer had some interesting points about communism and why, in his opinion, it’s good in theory but not practice. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss communism versus free markets, and how free markets serve us as consumers. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 03 Oct 2022 - 16min - 358 - 278 What I think when I see a city skyline
Have you ever looked out over a city skyline and got lost in thought about all the houses in the distance, wondering what the people inside are doing, and thinking how each night the city looks so peaceful and calm and yet the following morning those people will be up and about getting on with their daily lives again? This was the case for Dallas last week when he went up to Castle Hill in Townsville to look out over the city. Except, of course, his daydreaming didn’t last very long – he was driving around slowly, trying to get his four-month-old daughter to sleep. In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss how, even during bad times in the sharemarket, the world still keeps moving, and things aren’t as dire as they seem. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 26 Sep 2022 - 14min - 357 - 277 Supply and demand

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 - 29min - 356 - 276 Case study: risks of commercial property in retirement
Do you own a commercial property, or thought about using the incoming rent from one when you retire? While rentals can bring in a good income, there’s a big difference between commercial and residential rental income. And it’s important to know how that difference will affect you once you have retired. In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss drawing an income from rent during retirement, and whether commercial or residential is the better option. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 12 Sep 2022 - 21min - 355 - 275 Knowing you don’t need to work makes work better
Sometimes, you need to put your happiness before your job. Easier said than done, right? But if you’re close to retirement and you’re extremely unhappy in your job, perhaps it’s time to let it go. But how do you make that call, and how do you know if you’ll have enough money to retire with? In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss why money isn’t everything (yes, they are still financial advisers!), why it’s okay to give yourself a break, and how to navigate big decisions about work and retirement. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 05 Sep 2022 - 18min - 354 - 274 It’s my turn
We need to talk. That sounds a little awkward, doesn’t it? If you have a partner and you want to have a discussion about your finances, perhaps start with a slightly less scary phrase! That said, it can still be a very difficult topic to approach with your partner, especially if they think they have everything under control and are used to taking care of the financial side of things. But could it be time for you to take over? Is it your turn? In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss how to approach this conversation, and why it’s imperative that you do it sooner rather than later. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 29 Aug 2022 - 10min - 353 - 273 You can’t touch this!
What does MC Hammer and your superannuation have in common? You guessed it – you can’t touch either of them! Well, that is, until you are of retirement age. In this episode, Dallas and Michael will not only get a catchy song in your head, they’ll also discuss why not being able to touch your superannuation is an advantage rather than a hindrance.

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 - 14min - 351 - 271 A moral guide to minimising taxes
Tax evasion or tax minimisation – what’s the difference? According to Kerry Packer’s famous speech during a parliamentary hearing, a lot. And if you’re not trying to minimise your tax, there might even be something wrong with you, according to Packer. In this episode Michael and Dallas discuss the difference between the two, and why you should be trying to do one of them (hint: it’s not the illegal one). For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 08 Aug 2022 - 15min - 350 - 270 Why you should spread your eggs

For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Thu, 04 Aug 2022 - 25min - 349 - 269 Why a retiree could benefit from working
It’s easy to see retirement and work as being black and white – you’re either working or you’re not. But when you retire, things don’t have to be that way. In this episode Dallas and Michael discuss why working during your retirement can be a good thing, how to balance it, and some things you could do to earn money that you may have never considered before. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 25 Jul 2022 - 25min - 348 - 268 Listener Questions – Working part time in retirement
How much can you REALLY work during retirement without paying a cent in tax? Many people know that their account-based pension is a tax-free income. But you can also earn a significant amount of money by working part time to boost your bank balance once you’ve retired. In this episode, Dallas and Michael respond to a listener's question and discuss SAPTO (Seniors and Pensioners Tax Offset), super and income tax. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 18 Jul 2022 - 25min - 347 - 267 Don’t listen to Jerry Seinfield
Jerry Seinfeld is a hero when it comes to comedy. In our eyes, he can do no wrong! But when it comes to stocks, his strategy on the show is slightly more like gambling than investing … In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss how you can be smarter than Jerry when you invest, and why a diversified portfolio is less volatile than a term deposit. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Wed, 13 Jul 2022 - 11min - 346 - 266 Do you prefer possessions or experiences?
If you had a choice between going out for a nice dinner once a week and having a new car every three years, which would you choose? What about if you had to choose between going on a three-month holiday around the world and getting a full renovation on your house, including brand new furniture? In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss how you can use your money as a medium to buy possessions or experiences. You’re in the driver’s seat. Which would you choose?
Fri, 08 Jul 2022 - 17min - 345 - 265 Money is a medium
You may earn a ton of cash and still be broke in retirement. How is that possible? Well, your retirement wealth depends not just on the money you make, but on how you transfer those hard-earned bucks into experiences and possessions. People have different ways of viewing money. But money is simply a “medium for transferring work and enterprise into possessions and experiences”. In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss why your income isn’t the only thing dictating how wealthy you will be in retirement.
Tue, 28 Jun 2022 - 18min - 344 - 264 Fridges with ice makers
When you were a kid, do you remember visiting friends’ fancy houses and comparing them to your own? For Dallas, the epitome of a fancy house was one that had an ice maker. If one of his friends had a house that featured one of these, in his eyes, they had really “made it” in life. As an adult, Dallas is now contemplating becoming one of these people. Yes, he wants a fridge with an ice maker, because – well, they’re pretty cool. So should he spend the money on it, and when? And is it really worthwhile? This episode is not about fancy fridges or rich friends – it’s about making thoughtful financial decisions. Dallas and Michael discuss what and when to spend your money on (and when to hold onto it, instead). Spoiler alert: when it comes to your money, financial advisers are not always as frugal as you may think!
Mon, 20 Jun 2022 - 19min - 343 - 263 It’s all one bucket
If you are married or in a long-term relationship, then your money is all in ‘one bucket’. According to family law (and Centrelink), you and your partner don’t have separate money – regardless of who earns more. However, there are ways that you can benefit from paying less tax based on how you treat certain assets and whose super you put more money into. Don’t worry – it’s all legal! In this episode, Dallas and Michael explore how to keep as much of your taxable income as possible, and why your money is really all in one bucket.
Tue, 14 Jun 2022 - 19min - 342 - 262 Foreign currency transfers
Need to send money overseas? Or going travelling? Are you prepared to lose thousands in currency conversion fees, and happy to keep the big banks in business, who – for far too long – have controlled international transfers? As you can see by our excessive use of questions, we’ve been looking for a cheaper way to deal with overseas money transfers for a very long time. In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss who to use and why (we’ll show you how to save thousands, literally). For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Tue, 07 Jun 2022 - 17min - 341 - 261 A new thing won’t make you a certain type of person
Do you keep your car neat, clean and polished? Or do your kids, pets and habits stop it from keeping its new car smell and appearance beyond its first week? Don’t worry – we understand. Surely, if you bought a brand new car, you’d look after it better. Right? Well, actually, you probably wouldn’t! In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss how possessions affect us as people, and us as decision-makers – and how advertising fuels us to make purchases that won’t necessarily fulfil our needs. For more information please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 30 May 2022 - 10min - 340 - 260 All projections are wrong but some are useful
Predictions and projections we make about money are always wrong. In fact, they are wrong from the minute they’re produced. So why do financial advisers use them, if they’re never right? In this episode, Michael and Dallas look at why projections are important, and how to use them even when we know they will be incorrect. For more information please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 23 May 2022 - 14min - 339 - 259 The percentage of podcasts we dedicate to not panicking
On average, we see a drop in company prices of about 30% every 5 years. If you’ve listened to us for a while, you’ll know we often talk about not panicking when this happens. But why is this important, and exactly how important is it? In this episode we discuss how not preparing for a drop in the share market is like not listening to the lifeboat drill on a cruise ship. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t end well.
Mon, 16 May 2022 - 13min - 338 - 258 Why should it be easy?
If you wanted to lose weight, would you sit on the couch eating donuts, or have a salad and do some exercise? The answer is simple, yet many people don’t achieve their goals. Often, we want things to happen right away. This is instant gratification. And like losing weight, saving money and preparing for retirement is a long game. In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss the difficulties of investing in the long term – and why some people succeed while others don’t.
Mon, 09 May 2022 - 16min - 337 - 257 Don’t spread your eggs (when you’re already highly diversified)
What happens when your finances are on track and you’re getting your 8% rate of return? Is it time to spread your eggs and diversify further? Or perhaps buy a property? Is being invested in super really enough – and what if my fund goes broke? In this episode, Michael and Dallas discuss these questions in relation to those close to retirement. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 02 May 2022 - 22min - 336 - 256 75c McDonald ice cream cones (things are going to cost more money in the future)
Do you remember when Mcdonald's ice cream cones were 30 cents? Dallas and Michael certainly do. But if you were to go and buy one today, you’d be handing over 75 of your hard-earned cents. In this episode, Dallas and Michael discuss how bigger expenses in life (though potentially less enjoyable than a Maccas soft serve cone) go up with inflation, and exactly what this means for you and your retirement planning. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 25 Apr 2022 - 21min - 335 - 255 The stock tip
We've all had a stock tip for some speculative company before, with some being winners and some losers... But should we be basing our retirement strategy on this? For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
Mon, 18 Apr 2022 - 19min - 334 - 254 Directionally right is more important than precision
In financial planning, it is almost impossible for you to be absolutely precise in what the future will look like. For example, there is no way to figure out what inflation will be each year in the next 10 years. However, we do know that it will likely increase, therefore, we must include this in our calculations to help prepare for the future. You will never be exactly right, but heading in the right direction using the information at hand is absolutely important. For more information, please visit www.mo50.com.au
