Who has it harder when building wealth today?

Is it harder for younger Australians to build wealth today, or are there more opportunities than ever before?

In this episode of The Winner’s Playbook, Josh and Billy unpack the latest changes affecting self-managed super funds, including the government’s move to stop borrowing for residential property inside SMSFs.

They also debate one of the biggest money questions in Australia right now: who really had it harder when it comes to building wealth, today’s generation or the generations before them?

From housing affordability and university costs to tax changes, superannuation, AI, online business, investing apps and the rise of side hustles, they break down both sides of the argument.

If you’re trying to build wealth, buy property, start a business, invest for the future, or understand how the rules have changed, this episode gives you plenty to think about.
