The Financial Advice myths that cost you money

Length
00:23:55

Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!

In this episode, Billy and Andrew cut through the noise to bust the most common financial advice myths they hear from clients every single day: the beliefs that feel safe, sound reasonable, and are quietly keeping you from building real wealth.

From waiting for the “right time” to invest, to assuming property always wins, to ignoring your super because you can’t touch it, these myths aren’t just wrong, they’re expensive. And the fix is simpler than you think.

If you’ve ever caught yourself making any of these excuses, this episode is your mirror moment.
