Cash Talk

Many think that earning more money will solve their financial problems, but often, the opposite happens.

In this episode of Cash Talk, Multi-Award-Winning Australian Wealth Advisers John Cachia and Ayten Ozder, explore why earning more money doesn't always lead to financial success.

They discuss the common pitfalls of lifestyle inflation, and debt-fueled lifestyles causing financial progress to stall.
