Hey everyone, Rob B here with Rob D and you are listening to episode 261 of the Property Podcast.

Now unfortunately financial education isn't a topic we ever learn in school.

So many people don't know whether inflation is good or bad if

debt is a dirty word or even that there's an eighth wonder of the world called

compound interest. All of that is going to be covered this week.

So some background for this episode.

Rob and I spent a couple of days together this week doing what was meant to be a planning session for our businesses for the next couple of years.

We were in an amazing location, we had a lake outside, there were swans floating serenely by,

but as we often do when we get together, we completely ignored our beautiful location.

We pretty much ignored what we were meant to be talking about and we spend a good amount of time

ranting to each other about the state of the education system.

It's a favorite hobby horse of ours and with good reason.

Finance and wealth building and money management is so important but you just do not

get taught it at school. We didn't learn it all those years ago and it's still not

being taught now and as a result people are making poor financial decisions and quite frankly costing

themselves a whole load of money and I'm not having the lives that they could have if

only they'd had this education sooner. So Rob we thought why let a good rant go to

waste and this seemed like a good

opportunity to replay an episode that we recorded four years ago about this very

topic. Yeah and what's incredible Rob is four years on yes four years ago we

recorded this pod class gosh we've been doing this a long time now.

The lessons, how many have changed?
