Money and Investing with Andrew Baxter

The Investing Mistakes We Learned the Hard Way in Our 20s and Why You Need to Avoid Them Now


Listen Later

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

This episode is a straight, honest look at the investing mistakes that shaped our early years. Drawing from real experiences, we break down the investing mistakes that cost us time, money, and momentum in our 20s, and why avoiding them now can save you years of frustration. From buying assets too late to diving into the stock market with overconfidence, this conversation highlights the patterns many young investors fall into long before they realise the consequences.

You will hear how simple lapses in planning, lack of structure, ignoring risk, and relying on optimism instead of strategy can turn small errors into expensive lessons. We also talk through missed property opportunities, overleveraged trades, ignoring maintenance costs on assets, and the emotional side of making choices that seem smart at the time but turn out to be major investing mistakes in hindsight.

Most importantly, this episode explains how each setback became a turning point. The goal is not to scare you, but to help you spot these investing mistakes early so you can build a stronger base for your financial future and avoid losing precious momentum in your 20s.

If you want a grounded, practical take on what to avoid and how to learn from hard-earned lessons, this one is for you.
