“Hi, I’m Glen and I’m a recovering spender”, 

Glen James has built a career helping Aussies feel confident with money, but his own investing journey has been far from textbook. Intuitive, successful and at times unconventional. In this episode, we chat to Glen about how approach has evolved; from impulsive spender, to financial adviser, to now running one of Australia’s biggest money podcasts. (or money ‘show’, we should say 😉)

We cover:

• Why Glen ditched setting investing goals (and what he does instead).
• His “give some, save some, then spend some,” philosophy.
• The guardrails he used to break out of bad money habits.
• How he invests today (including a detailed breakdown of his flows from payday to portfolio).
