Investopoly
Investopoly is a twice-weekly podcast designed to help you make better financial decisions and build wealth with clarity and confidence. Hosted by Stuart (tax adviser, financial adviser, and mortgage broker) and Campbell (senior financial adviser), each episode delivers concise, practical insights grounded in real-world strategy, research, methodologies, and case studies.
You will get two episodes each week: a main episode that deep-dives into a single wealth-building topic, and a Q&A episode that answers listener questions and real scenarios. Send your questions to questions@investopoly.com.au
We also writes a weekly blog, and many podcast topics build on those ideas and frameworks. Stuart's forthcoming book, Wealth by Design, will be available in July 2026.

In this mailbag episode, we tackle five listener questions spanning some of the trickiest decisions in personal finance. A Brisbane couple in their mid-forties, with strong super balances and a plan to knock down and rebuild, ask whether to ease off super contributions to kill debt faster or keep compounding inside the lower-tax environment and whether debt recycling is their smartest long-term play.
We unpack a thorny capital gains question on the six-year absence rule: can you settle a new home first, then sell the old one, without triggering a double-PPR problem? A high-income Melbourne couple wonder whether $6,800 a year in ongoing financial advice is still worth it, how to untangle from wrap platforms, and whether a coastal second property stacks up given their age and timeline.
A father in St Ives asks whether tipping $2,000 a year into a 20-year-old's super is a gift worth making. And a Perth listener eyeing his neighbour's block wants the unbiased truth on double blocks and subdivisions.
Practical, numbers-driven answers to real situations and the principles behind them.
