In this episode, Stuart tackles one of the most important financial planning questions: how much is enough? He shares his personal philosophy—invest just enough to meet your goals comfortably, but no more—and reminds listeners that wealth is a means to enjoy life, not just a number to chase.
Stuart explains how to think about wealth targets, offering a clear framework for calculating how much you need to fund different retirement lifestyles. He covers:
- How to plan around supercaps and tax-free thresholds
- What to do with property in retirement
- Why you should consider reducing property exposure and using super for tax efficiency
- When to invest more, and when to start spending
He also addresses the mental challenge of switching from saver to spender, and why starting early—even with small amounts—makes a big difference.
Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, or already retired, this episode offers a grounded, practical, and values-based approach to wealth building. Tune in to rethink your goals, reset your expectations, and align your money with your life.
