So grab a chair and let us take you through the steps required to buy a share in Australia.

Have you been following the events of the Banking Royal Commission, and everything that followed? I can’t blame you if not, it’s dragged on for the best part of a year, and although scandalous revelations were made regarding certain companies and practices in the financial services sector, it’s been a highly political extravaganza.
After many months, the final Royal Commission Report has been handed in by Commissioner Hayne. How many of the recommendations that both parties have committed to actually get implemented is yet to be seen, but it’s started a conversation we weren’t really having before.

Risk and investing is a tricky and very personal subject. Ask 10 people on a train their opinion on skydiving and you’ll be sure to get a wide range of viewpoints, and it’s exactly the same when it comes to an individual’s view and tolerance of risk. In this episode, we dive into the different types of risks that might affect an investor and why it’s so important to be aware of the risks involved with an investment product and their personal risk tolerance!
“Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections than has been lost in corrections themselves.” – Peter Lynch
This episode of the How To Money Podcast covers what the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) actually does, the RBA cash rate, inflation and what the recent reduction in the cash rate means for us.
The Reserve Banks job is to achieve price stability, full employment, and the economic prosperity and welfare of the Australian people. The RBA does this by using an inflation target to help keep inflation between 2–3%, on average, using the cash rate. The Reserve Bank Board meets eleven times a year, on the first Tuesday of the month, to decide what the cash rate should be.
The cash rate has a strong influence over other interest rates, such as lending and deposit rates, and a reduction in the cash rate typically stimulates spending and inflation, while an increase in the cash rate typically dampens spending and inflation.
In this episode of the How To Money Podcast, we invited Ashley Debenham from Etax Accountants to cover tax return basics, plus provide you with tips to ensure you get the best possible tax refund.

Please bear in mind the audio is a little more rustic than usual in the episode (as we recorded from different locations)!

We want to see ourselves as competent human beings, and often have a blind spot towards our own biases. We usually don’t discover our own biases until we make a mistake or have someone point them out, so it’s really important that we remain humble so we can acknowledge our own behavioural biases when they are pointed out.
In this episode of the How To Money Podcast Kate spoke to Dr Daniel Crosby, who is a psychologist and behavioural finance expert from the States. Kate and Daniel chat about the emotions impacting our financial decisions, mitigating the behavioral biases in our investing journeys and automating your finances.

- How to set up a sharehouse
David’s top five tips for protecting yourself from deadweight flatmates are:
- Check employment – make sure they have a secure source of income to cover bills.
- Get references – ask around your friends who may have lived with the same person in the past to check whether they’re responsible and reliable.
- All names on the lease – a check by the real estate agent is a good safety net before you move in. If the agent doesn’t think they’re trustworthy after compulsory checks, they’re probably not.
- Share the risk – put the bills in different names. Don’t be lumped with all the responsibility of various utility bills.
- Have a house kitty – by agreeing to put a set amount into a kitty each week you can keep on top of bills from utilities to groceries.
