Property investors should be wary of more regulation in 2025! With Emma Duffy from Your Investment Property Magazine
For the first time in 2025, Emma joins us to discuss CoreLogic's latest home value index, plus what investors should watch in 2025. This includes any further regulation with APRA signalling if the housing market gets too hot, it might apply the handbrakes. This could include higher lending standards, or other caps and tomfoolery. This is the second-last time Emma joins us before embarking on a big overseas sojourn/sabbatical, so her savings tip is very handily travel-related.

The potential $400k cost of putting a child through school! With Bernadette Lunas, InfoChoice finance journalist
Bern runs us through some research from Futurity Investments that found the entire cost of a kids' 13 years of education could cost more than $400,000. This pertains to Sydney at a private school, with a lot of extracurriculars thrown in. Public schooling isn't cheap, either. And how are parents coping? Well they're realising maybe Timmy doesn't need six triangle lessons a week plus piano, French, and soccer.
