    You've Built the Wealth. Now How Do You Retire? - A case study with John and Julia

    John is 58. Julia is 57. Together they've built $5.63 million in net worth — a family home, two investment properties, super, cash in the bank. On paper, they've made it. But 76% of their wealth is locked in property, and over half of it sits in a home that earns them nothing. One investment property has gained $400K. The other has lost $200K on paper and still costs more to hold than it returns. And despite everything they've built, they're not sure they can afford to spend it. In this episode, Cam sits down with Andrew Brown - Independent Financial Adviser at IWP to unpack a real case study: a couple standing at the crossroads of retirement, torn between the life they've accumulated and the life they actually want. Time with grandchildren in Adelaide and South East Queensland. A slower pace. A beach home in Ulladulla. Being there for aging parents. They dig into the accumulation mindset that got John and Julia here, the emotional pull of a family home full of memories, and the strategic questions every couple in this position needs to ask before they can retire with confidence — not just capacity. If you've built wealth but aren't sure how to use it, this one's for you. DISCLAIMER: This videocast contains general advice which does not consider your particular circumstances.

    IWP Market Update - June 2026

    Global growth holds, house prices don't — the July market update Nvidia alone is worth more than twice the entire ASX combined. Melbourne house prices just posted their worst quarterly fall in years. And Australia is on track for its weakest decade of living standards growth since the 1910s. Cam and Chris break down what's actually happening in the economy this month — global growth staying resilient (with Asia doing the heavy lifting), Aussie inflation easing back toward target, and why the May Budget's negative gearing and CGT changes are being blamed for the property slowdown. Plus: why is the US seeing a productivity boom while Australia's economy grows only because more people are moving here? If you've been wondering why your portfolio's international holdings are running rings around your Australian ones, this one's for you. Topics covered: Global growth and the US/Australia productivity gap Inflation update — headline vs trimmed mean Why house prices are falling (and what the forecasters think happens next) Global vs Australian share markets — the numbers behind the gap Where BHP sits on the world stage Independent Wealth Partners | Wealth strategy delivered with integrity DISCLAIMER: This videocast contains general advice which does not consider your particular circumstances.
