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.

Q&A: Deploying $800k, structuring for the future, and what to spend on a car
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Four listeners at pivotal moments. "John," 55 and five years cancer-free, has $800k from selling an investment property and a detailed plan for a downsizer contribution, an experiences fund, helping both daughters into homes and one big question: will his super comfortably fund $100k a year in retirement? Stuart stress-tests the numbers and the strategy.
"Chris," 44, lays out a layered plan involving an SMSF property, an investment property and a granny flat, and asks whether it's solid or whether he should be more aggressive now. "Brenton," a high-income earner still driving two ten-year-old Toyotas, poses a refreshingly human dilemma: what financial principles should guide spending on a depreciating-but-essential asset like a car—and how much splurging is genuinely defensible after years of sacrifice?
Finally, "Bob," 38 with strong surplus cash flow, asks three sharp questions many listeners share: should new assets go into his name, his wife's, or a family trust given their income gap? Hold or sell an interstate Queensland property after a strong run? And at his age, gear into undervalued Melbourne property, debt-recycle into ETFs, or simply kill the mortgage first?
Practical, numbers-driven answers throughout.
