Welcome back to this year's first episode of Boothy Bites, with Chris Booth and Jackie Bowker!

The first Boothy Bites episode of 2026 is kicking off with the questions many Australians are asking right now: what should I be doing with my finances this year, and how do I set myself up properly from the start? Lydian can definitely help with that! 🦁

Listen to Chris and Jackie as they explore where interest rates are likely to land after the latest RBA meeting, what inflation and fuel prices are signalling, and why this year is shaping up to be a steady, watch-and-wait period.

They'll also be breaking down important lending changes, including tighter trust lending, how competitive rates really are, and when it's worth locking something in.

Also, get a clear-eyed look at the 2026 property market, touching on affordability pressures, limited stock, cities still outperforming, and the growing role of family support and intergenerational wealth. It also looks ahead to what's next for Lydian as the business continues to grow across Australia.
