The wealth playbook that worked for the last generation was simple. Buy property, negatively gear it, hold for the capital gains discount, and run the rest through a family trust. For thirty years that combination did most of the heavy lifting for Australians on good incomes, and plenty of people in their thirties and forties are still following it because it's what their parents did. The May budget turned this on its head - and if you’re earning good money, you're the one these changes hit hardest. But a broken playbook doesn't mean there's nothing left to work with, there are still a heap of opportunities to get more out of your money, if you know how to use the rules to your advantage. This session walks through what a household earning $200k to $500k+ can actually do about it. You'll leave with a clear view of where your money should sit under the new rules, and what to do first. What you'll learn Which parts of the traditional wealth playbook still work after the May budget, and which ones don't How the changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax and family trusts affect a household earning $200k to $500k Why tax structuring is now mission critical if you want to get ahead How the order you pay down debt, invest and contribute to super changes your long-term result The dates that matter between now and 2028, and what's worth planning ahead of each one

What if your money could stop being a source of stress and start working for you? Maybe you earn a decent income but still wonder where it all goes. Maybe you’ve started a budget more than once, only to give up when it felt like one more chore. Or maybe you avoid checking your account before payday because you’d rather not know. If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re not bad with money. The truth is, it doesn’t take big sacrifices or strict rules to turn things around. Small, simple changes can make your finances easier to understand, easier to manage and much less stressful. Pull up a chair and join the conversation. You’ll walk away with the core principles behind strong money foundations: how to make your cashflow, budget and banking work together, so your money runs on autopilot and moves you closer to your goals.

You’ll learn how I approach the markets, manage risk and trades and build confidence through consistency. I’ll share why a simpler, well-practised strategy executed the same way each time can be more effective than constantly chasing something new.
