Lifestyle trade-offs for first-home buyers

What if property prices keep rising… even if wages don’t? 🤔

That’s the uncomfortable question we’re unpacking in this Q&A episode, and it’s one every buyer and investor needs to understand.

It’s also a big moment for the show…

We’re welcoming Polly Chu and Ben Thompson to the Couch Crew for the very first time... and we’re throwing them straight into the deep end.

Here’s what we unpack:

📈 Why property prices can rise faster than wages (and what actually drives it)
🏡 The real trade-offs first-home buyers are facing right now
⚖️ Growth vs yield...and why most investors get this wrong
💰 How to turn ~$2M into ~$100K income (hint: it’s not just a number)
📊 Net yield vs gross yield (THIS actually matters), and...
🪙 Gold vs property: is there any real connection?

This episode isn’t about hot takes. It’s about understanding the system, the trade-offs, and the decisions you need to make in today’s market. 

Listen now, folks!
