Summary
This week, I chat to long-term friend of the show, Rob Dix, co-host of the Property Podcast, author of The Price of Money and now a new book Seven Myths About Money, which I highly recommend.
Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/session564
02:10 - Remind us about who you are and what you do.
03:47 - What was the trigger for writing this book hard on the heels of The Price of Money?
08:53 - Can you summarise the Ashvin Chhabra money motivations and why we need a new paradigm for risk management?
16:44 - I imagine some people will be surprised to read your challenge about home ownership. Can you tell us your views on home-ownership as a kind of default goal for so many people?
21:30 - I found myself nodding along as I was reading all of the book, and especially the sections around compounding and diversification - both of which are part of the accepted doctrine of investing. Is it fair to say that you think we're in for a lower and slower investing world going forward?
26:15 - If you had to give a single piece of advice to anyone looking to take their finances seriously, perhaps for the first time?
29:45 - Where's the best place to get the book and find out more about what you're up to?
