Cash Talk

A high net worth doesn’t automatically mean you’re building wealth.

In this episode of Cash Talk, multi-award-winning Australian Wealth Advisers John Cachia and Mason Thorn explore the difference between accumulating assets and building wealth, and why having more assets doesn’t necessarily mean you’re moving closer to financial freedom.

John and Mason discuss the importance of aligning your assets with your personal goals, resisting the external pressures to keep up with others, and the psychology behind spending the wealth you’ve worked hard to build.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t external, but your own mindset and behaviour?

In this episode of Cash Talk, multi-award-winning Australian wealth advisers John Cachia and Mason Thorn start by unpacking the recent Federal Budget before exploring the role that fear, emotion and mindset can play in our financial decisions and the way we approach life.

They discuss how the fear of change and the unknown, scarcity thinking and beliefs we’ve inherited can create invisible limits on what we believe we can achieve. They also explore how recognising these behaviours and breaking through those barriers can help us make better decisions and ultimately achieve more in both our finances and our lives.
