Latest / Money Grows on Trees / #362 - Can Dividends Pay More Than Property?
Transcript
- 0:00Most people assume property is always better with
- 0:03an income play, but the numbers say otherwise. See, the property crowd
- 0:06will tell you that rent's reliable, tangible, and real, and
- 0:10they're wrong. But the reality is, when you actually compare dividend income against
- 0:14rental income on the same dollar invested, the answer is not as clear as
- 0:18either side will admit. And in 2026, the budget,
- 0:22especially in Australia, changed the tax treatment of property forever,
- 0:26and the gap shifted. I'm Lloyd J. Ross, second figure investor entrepreneur, and
- 0:30I've helped thousands of everyday Australians, Americans, New Zealanders, and Canadians, and
- 0:33those from the UK get out of debt and build real wealth. And in this video, I'm gonna
- 0:36show you my exact dividend portfolio and how its income compares
- 0:40to property with the same capital and the honest verdict on
- 0:43which one actually pays more. Okay, so
- 0:47the most important thing to understand is how each one of these asset
- 0:51types generates income. So let's start with property. Everybody
- 0:55knows, I think everybody knows, whether you're a renter or
- 0:58you're owning, property works in this manner. the
- 1:02property is built, the owner purchases it and either
- 1:06lives in there, in which case they don't pay rent, they might repay a mortgage. But
- 1:10if it's an investment, which we'll talk about in this episode, they
- 1:13will buy the property and they'll lease it out. Now, For
- 1:17the purpose of this exercise, I'm going to talk about residential
- 1:21property because the reality is there's industrial property, there's commercial office property,
- 1:24and there's obviously retail property. They're the other sort of uses of
- 1:28property, there's storage, et cetera. And there's multiple ways you make money in
- 1:31property. You can development, buy and flip, and add equity.
- 1:34You can rezone, you can start a title and resell. There's
- 1:38lots of different ways. But for the sake of this exercise, we talk about residential property.
- 1:42So you buy a property, residential house or apartment, and
- 1:45you put a tenant in there and the tenant rents the house out. It's probably one of the oldest
- 1:49ways to make money ever, right? Being a landlord. And
- 1:53so when you have, let's say a million dollar
- 1:56property, house or apartment, and we could probably go with apartments because
- 1:59I think they're a bit more popular. People think that you just buy the apartment and
- 2:03the tenant goes in there and the money comes to your account and that's it. And
- 2:06that's just not true. And for those of you who have ever owned property
- 2:10before, you'll know that's not true. It's not as easy as that. And
- 2:13you do see a lot of instances where people have bought houses on
- 2:16that premise or apartments on that premise only to find out
- 2:20sadly that it's not what it was all made up to be. So
- 2:23let's say you buy a million dollar apartment, the amount that you'd expect to
- 2:27generate from a rental return is called the rental yield, and
- 2:30it's typically around about 5% of purchase price. So if we
- 2:33look at 5% of a million dollar property, 5% of
- 2:36a million is $50,000. So you'd anticipate that property would pull in
- 2:40just under a thousand a week. And by all accounts, that's probably still accurate in
- 2:44some markets. Although in major markets like Sydney, Hong Kong,
- 2:47New York, and so forth, it may not be the case. Certainly in
- 2:50Sydney and some parts of even where I live in the Gold Coast here in Australia, it's
- 2:54more like 4% or 4.5%. And sometimes yields
- 2:57have even been as low as 3.5% at the peak of the boom. But now
- 3:00it's starting to adjust. Prices are falling and rents are going
- 3:04up a little bit, but they're actually not going up as drastically as what people think. And
- 3:07so we've had the situation where a million dollar property should be pulling in
- 3:1150 grand a year, right? At 5% yields. So just under $1,000 a
- 3:14week. So I'll call it 950. And if I look at our apartment too, where we live, it's
- 3:17probably around about that. So that's pretty standard,
- 3:21okay? But have a look at it from an owner's standpoint. If
- 3:24you've got a million dollar property, it's pulling in 9.50 a week in
- 3:27rent, and you have it as an investment, with rates, insurance,
- 3:32body corporate, you're gonna have around about $200 come
- 3:429.50 a week times 52 weeks, yeah, call it roughly 50 grand, it's about
- 3:465% yield. But if we've got 7.50 after those operating costs,
- 3:50then we've got $39,000 a year, so you're
- 3:53basically down a good $10,000, right? And
- 3:57divided by a million, you have to do it 3.9%. So
- 4:01we've now got a bit of a net yield of 3.9%, but it's not over yet.
- 4:04Rental income in Australia is fully taxed.
- 4:08Now, I'm not gonna get into the negative gearing argument, because it's only if the property is negatively geared.
- 4:12I'm just gonna assume that the property is purchased outright with cash. I'm
- 4:15gonna compare apples to apples in the sense of if you had a million dollars cash,
- 4:19would you buy a property investment to generate income, or would you buy
- 4:22shares? And that's what I'm comparing here today. So we'll do, at $39,000 a
- 4:26year income, you're gonna get taxed full freight. Now, if your
- 4:30average tax rate is, say, 35%, you're gonna have only 65% of that left over. So
- 4:36all of a sudden after tax, you're gonna have $25,350 left.
- 4:40Now there might be some depreciation benefits in there. You might
- 4:43have some obviously deduction from your body corporate fees and rates and
- 4:46sorry, not rates and insurance, et cetera. But you're going to have
- 4:51some tax back, some depreciation. blah, blah, blah.
- 4:54Let's just say for the sake of this, you're going to get $4,000 back in tax. The
- 4:58after-tax and after-cost yield
- 5:03on a property of $1,000,000 is $29,350 a year. Now,
- 5:06that's not including times where the tenant's not paying. That
- 5:10also happens, by the way. And it's not including the dishwasher
- 5:13you gotta give them, the whatever else might be included in
- 5:16that, the upkeep, the fair wear and tear of certain things that you have to replace, like
- 5:20carpets and curtains. So we can take off, for the sake of this, we'll take
- 5:23off, I don't know, call it a, worst case, a thousand a year. right?
- 5:27It's going to be a lot more than that. Now, this is also not including special levies.
- 5:32If the sinking fund in a strata titled apartment complex goes
- 5:35to zero because of mismanagement, or the building needs repairs or
- 5:39painting or whatever, they will raise a special levy where each owner
- 5:42pays a specific amount, a levy, to actually top up the sinking fund
- 5:46and pay for the stuff. Now, it might be that there's a sinking fund
- 5:49or a special levy within a 10-year period of $10,000. So we can probably
- 5:53say over each year, there's another thousand. So take another thousand off the special levies and
- 5:56things that need to happen to the building. So now you're at $27,350. And
- 6:00of course it can get way worse than that. I know owners that have paid $25,000 to change
- 6:04balustrades and balconies and all sorts of different things. So that's a
- 6:08pretty fair estimate of the fact if you bought a million-dollar apartment
- 6:13as an investment, you will yield in your bank account after
- 6:17tax, after operating costs, after even some of those things we can't see, and
- 6:20after maybe a couple of times where the tenant's not there, which we haven't really even included. If you get
- 6:23a tenant that can't move for six months, it's going to cost you a lot more money than that. But let's just say for
- 6:26the argument's sake, it's that. You can see it on my screen. It's $27,350. Now,
- 6:31if we divide that by a million, it's an
- 6:34after-tax net yield of
- 6:372.73%. See that? 2.73%. Now,
- 6:42if inflation is running at five, and real estate is not growing, which
- 6:45currently it's not, and I know that over time it does, you're
- 6:49losing money on an inflation-adjusted basis if
- 6:53you buy a property for cash flow. That's where we are right now. Now, if you've got
- 6:56a mortgage on this, and it's 6%, 6.5%, deduct
- 7:016.5%, now you're negative 3.7%. And there's no negative gearing
- 7:05benefit anymore. So now you're losing 3.7% a year, not
- 7:08including inflation. If we include inflation, you're down 8.7% a
- 7:11year. So you're now losing money. So when I say things
- 7:15like, I don't buy a property, blah, blah, blah, I'm not just doing it and pulling it out
- 7:18of my ass. I'm not doing it just to irritate you, annoy you, and take it different. I'm just doing
- 7:21it from the numbers. It just doesn't stack up. It doesn't make sense to
- 7:24me. So I'm not running out presently to buy property investments because
- 7:28of this number you see on the screen. Does that make sense? Now, you might have
- 7:31a different take on that. You might have been someone who bought property fortuitously, because
- 7:35by all accounts, it's not necessarily science, because if you
- 7:38had have been born in 1890, you would not have the
- 7:42ability to skydust your 80% property gains in the last five years. but
- 7:45you weren't. You were born in 1983 or 1985, and
- 7:49you just happened to be available with some debt to buy a property at the right
- 7:52time in history. But that property doesn't rise by 60 to 80% in five
- 7:56years under normal circumstances. It only went there because interest rates went to zero, and they
- 7:59printed too much money. You're not a genius. It's
- 8:03just fortuitous. It's blessed. It's timing. Bit
- 8:07of luck. But I don't want to beat you up too much. Well done for you to
- 8:10getting a deposit together and well done for you taking a risk. I want to commend it still. But I'm saying
- 8:13it's not normal for property to grow at 12% a year, just so
- 8:17you know. And now we're finding out that's true. We're finding
- 8:20it out. It's like, oh shit, Lloyd's podcast for the last two years, he's
- 8:23right. Yes. I'm only saying this stuff because I'm just working from mathematics,
- 8:27the universal language of maths. I'm not doing it through emotion.
- 8:31Okay. So that's the result before inflation
- 8:35if you were to borrow money to buy a property. But again, I'm not suggesting to
- 8:38borrow, I'm saying cash. So we can actually add the 6.5% back in their interest
- 8:42rate. That's just the interest by the way, it's not including the principal. And that's not including the rates
- 8:45that might go up again. Now you're starting to see why people are starting to let go of their properties. Okay,
- 8:492.7% net yield after tax. That's the cash flow in
- 8:53your pocket with a million dollar acquired residential property as an
- 8:56apartment where I live. Cool, okay. Now
- 8:59let's do shares, move to the other side. Million bucks, shares. This is
- 9:03interesting. There's a couple of ways to do it. One, we could anticipate you
- 9:07buy one share of one company, okay? Now by our accounts, I
- 9:10think having a million dollars in one company, depending on what the company is,
- 9:13is not such a bad thing either. I've had a million dollars in a
- 9:16company before, close to a million, 980,000 in one holding before. So
- 9:20it's fine, as long as you know what you're doing. So let's do
- 9:24it on this basis. Let's do it on a single share basis. Let's do it
- 9:27on a group of shares, so a portfolio you built with individual shares, and
- 9:30then let's look at an index fund. Then let's look at different types of index funds
- 9:34to see the difference. But what we've got to beat here today to show you categorically that
- 9:38more money lands in your pocket from a cash flow standpoint with shares than
- 9:41property, is this, and I wanna show you categorically
- 9:45that it does, okay, for now. So a million bucks. Now
- 9:49let's say that you did some research and you realize that, oh, okay, that's
- 9:52interesting. There's gonna be a 50-year copper undersupply. Fascinating.
- 9:56So there's not enough copper mines to be produced for copper to happen, and there's a massive
- 9:59AI boom behind this copper price. And copper, by the way, just this
- 10:03week hit a record price. So copper's undersupplied. Now,
- 10:07who's the world's leading supplier of copper? mining company.
- 10:10And if you do a bit of research, you'll find that it's BHP, a
- 10:14proud Australian company. And if you look at BHP in
- 10:19detail, you'll notice that over 50% of their profits now come
- 10:22from copper. because they've obviously seen
- 10:27the opportunity. So it's got, it's primarily iron ore, which
- 10:30has historically been its main income driver. Now 50% is
- 10:33copper. So it's the world leading copper supplier. It's
- 10:37got tenements and leases in mines for copper mines that can't be easily
- 10:40replaced. Like in the next 20 years, not many are gonna be done. Like you can't, you can't pull it
- 10:43out of your ass. And they know that. And so now they're also being
- 10:47able to fund that copper. mine development and
- 10:50expansion through their cash flow without tapping any more
- 10:54capital, without raising capital through share purchase, without taking
- 10:58on debt. It's actually fully funded with their copper earnings. Now,
- 11:01if you're understanding that, you'll see why BHP ran up 35, I
- 11:05think it's up, what is it? It might be more, a huge run
- 11:08up this year. I think it's even 40%, some massive number. And it's
- 11:11just gone through the roof this year because people understand the copper story. Now,
- 11:16I believe the copper story's got a long way to run. So let's
- 11:19say it's BHP. I think well-diversified company,
- 11:23can't be disrupted by AI. They're excellent capital allocators. They haven't always
- 11:27been, but now they are. And it's in an area that's going to be booned by
- 11:30the AI boom. It's going to be a beneficiary of the AI boom,
- 11:33because a lot of copper is used in war. It's used in
- 11:37AI. It's used in power, like flipping grids, data centers. So let's
- 11:40say that. Now, right now, currently, the dividend yield and BHP with
- 11:44its current dividend payments. And again, not all dividend payments are
- 11:47always going to be the same because it does change and never flow with the business. But generally, BHP
- 11:51has been a good dividend payer and it seldom stops
- 11:55paying a dividend and they tend to grow their dividend with their earnings. So,
- 12:010.04 is the dividend. That's $40,000. Now
- 12:04here's what's fascinating. If you were just to buy BHP as an example,
- 12:09One, diversified, not going to be disrupted, continue to grow and will
- 12:12grow in value. Now it's already grown and will probably continue to grow in value over the next
- 12:1712, 18, 5 years, 20 years, whatever. In fact, I did some sums yesterday. I believe that
- 12:20we could see it 4x in the next 20 years. So
- 12:24there you go, with the COP undersupply. So it's going to grow. Now I can't say the same thing
- 12:27for property. I don't know what property is going to do in the next 10 years. It doesn't look like it's going to grow much if rates are going
- 12:31up. By all accounts of Redscope, it doesn't impact share prices too,
- 12:34but I think the corporate story will hold. So this is probably gonna grow and producing up,
- 12:37but let's just look at the cashflow. $40,000 if the
- 12:40dividends do not grow from here, if the dividend stays put, okay? Now
- 12:45I think it will grow, but if it stays put, 40,000. Now what's fascinating about shares
- 12:48and companies is that in Australia specifically, it's
- 12:52different in America. In Australia, there's a
- 12:55taxation ruling where the government's already
- 12:59taxed the companies their income tax on
- 13:02their profits. So when they pay their dividends, they pay them with after-tax
- 13:06dollars that they've actually got sitting there. So when they pay that 40,000, they've
- 13:09already paid the tax on it. Now, if you're an Australian citizen and you receive that,
- 13:14whether you receive it in your personal name or a company, the shares are deemed to
- 13:17be what's called fully franked, which means you don't pay
- 13:21tax on them again up to a marginal rate
- 13:24of 30%. So if you have a
- 13:27base rate entity like a company, an operating company that's receiving this dividend and
- 13:30it's paying 25%, you actually get a tax refund. The ATA will pay you for getting
- 13:34these dividends, which is fascinating. But let's just do it on a holding company rate of
- 13:3730% or a personal average tax rate of 30%. If
- 13:41you receive that $40,000 and that's your average tax rate, you
- 13:44will not pay any tax on that. Does this make sense? So the
- 13:47whole hog goes in there to your skyrocket, your
- 13:51pocket. Now, what's also cool about companies is
- 13:55there's no body corporate fees, there's no special levies, there's no
- 13:58sinking fund, there's no rates, there's no insurance, and there's no
- 14:02tenancy out of play, and there's no dishwashers, and there's no upkeep, and there's
- 14:05no fair warranty. None. And there's no
- 14:08tax to pay on that up to 30% marginal rate. So that whole amount of money goes in your pocket. So
- 14:12if we divide that by a million, if you put the position in there, it's
- 14:174%. So property, after tax, after cost, 2.7. Shares
- 14:21and BHP, four. I rest my case, your honor. Mathematically,
- 14:26shares do better from cash flow standpoint. But what if we were to
- 14:29play around this a little bit and say, okay, what if the objective was
- 14:33income? So what if the objective was, what if we just positioned our portfolio within
- 14:39reason maximum, because you can't go too high on the dividend yield, because quite
- 14:42often a high dividend yield dictates too that the dividend is going to fall and the
- 14:45values of the shares are falling because they're going to hit an earnings challenge. Their
- 14:49profits will be challenged. So it's not always the higher the dividend, the better. But if you look at
- 14:52companies like, let's look at Nick Scully Furniture, it's about 5%. Pretty
- 14:57good company, small, smaller company. Let's look at Fortescue Metals,
- 15:00six and a half percent. They got a big iron ore business. Let's
- 15:04look at, like you could probably do, I don't want to reach into that in a minute, but we'll
- 15:07do BHP, that's three stocks. We might do, what else
- 15:10are we paying? Oh, what's it called? McMillan, which is actually paying
- 15:145%, which is actually like a novated lease company. Really interesting
- 15:18company, actually. It's paying good dividend. And it's progressive and
- 15:21it's good. What else is there? There's probably a nut like A
- 15:24and Z bank. Let's go there. I think they're paying. God, what are they paying? I
- 15:28don't wanna get, can I just check? I don't wanna give you the wrong data.
- 15:32And someone say in the comments, it's not paying that. That's how
- 15:35I imagine, when haters come and say things, that's the voice I can
- 15:39use. Okay, let's have a look here. 4.39, okay,
- 15:43ANZ Bank, cool. So that's five. I think Bank of Queensland, chuck
- 15:47that in there too, because it was pretty high dividend. I don't want you to
- 15:50buy companies that are gonna be crap though. Like BOQ, let's just have
- 15:53a look. Because BOQ pays good dividend, but it's probably grown nowhere in
- 15:56the last, Oh, that's not too bad. Oh, it's down 30% in five years. We
- 16:00might avoid that. Let's do... What's another good domain? JB
- 16:03Hi-Fi, we've done that one. I'm gonna do Telstra, what's another good, or
- 16:07store, Aussie store, whatever, doesn't matter, let's just do them. So we've got a bank, we've
- 16:10got a miner, we've got furniture, we've got electronics,
- 16:15and I'm not suggesting the dividend's gonna stay exactly this, but they're reasonable, right? And
- 16:18we've got a no bad lease company and administrator, so we'll just do either of those five.
- 16:22So we've got 4.97, so for the sake of this exercise, we'll call it almost five, okay, good.
- 16:26You could generate a portfolio with five or six holdings or more that would
- 16:29generate 5%, so all of a sudden, 5% on a million, if you spread it across, you're at
- 16:3350,000. Now that's 5% place 2.7. So if we do 5% place 2.7, you
- 16:38can see that shares produce almost double the
- 16:41amount of actual after-tax After costs,
- 16:45net cash flow in your pocket, shares, individual
- 16:50shares, beat it by double. Fact. Just quickly, if
- 16:53you're ready to take control of your finances but feel stuck on where to start,
- 16:57I have a solution. My book, Money Buys Happiness, simplifies
- 17:00investing and wealth building with practical steps to help you achieve financial
- 17:04peace. Get your copy via the link in the show notes and let's get your
- 17:08money working for you. Now back to the episode. But if we do
- 17:11an index fund, if you look at a high yield index fund in Australia, I'm not going to
- 17:14tell you what the stock ticker code is because I don't give you any advice, but if you do
- 17:17the research, you can probably find one that pays, you know, at present time
- 17:20between three and a half and five percent. So we'll take the middle number because
- 17:24it does change, divided by two times 0.5. It was 0.035 plus
- 17:270.05 divided by two. So
- 17:314.25. So even if you had an index fund that paid a good dividend that holds all
- 17:35those companies, you're still going to be way ahead by 0.027 by
- 17:391.55% on shares in your back pocket. And that's
- 17:43fully diversified. And you're going to get growth probably think
- 17:46maybe not too much, but you get some. So if we add some growth of even 3%, it's probably
- 17:50going to be better than property, you're going to be ahead. Now, if inflation's at
- 17:535%, like I said, at least you're not losing heaps. You're squared out. So you're maintaining
- 17:57and holding your wealth. Now, if you look at an investment, say, in America
- 18:01or on the New York Stock Exchange, like the S&P 500, its dividend
- 18:04is 1%. And you've got to pay tax on that after. So you're going to end up with, say,
- 18:090.7 of a percent of income. Now in a million bucks, that's not
- 18:12much. What is it? $7,000 next to nothing. So
- 18:16you're not going to make a ton of money after tax after costs in an index fund
- 18:20in America, but you are going to generate tremendous
- 18:23growth. I think in the S&P 500 in the last 10 years produced 14% returns. That
- 18:29is just 140,000 a year compounded. If you, if
- 18:32it's to repeat those returns the next 10 years, which who knows with AI, what's
- 18:35happening, who knows, but a hundred, that's pretty good. So you. With an international
- 18:39fund like that shares in the United States, you're going to have more
- 18:42growth, but there's other stocks like ETF portfolios, not
- 18:46to go into much detail, but there's others that sell covered calls over
- 18:50the NASDAQ that JP Morgan has. And there's others that have
- 18:53like store what dividend pays in their ETF, like Pepsi and
- 18:57McDonald's. So you can get three and a half percent in
- 19:00some American funds too, but you're not going to have the tax benefit. So if you're watching this
- 19:03as an Australian, it's so interesting right now to think based
- 19:07on the budget changes and based on negative gearing, changing property, and
- 19:10based on the fact that property's falling and rent's going down, it's, oh my God, we went through this massive, what
- 19:13do you do now? I'm like, holy, like Australian shares,
- 19:18particularly the types that are going to do well in the next five, 10, 20 years.
- 19:21It's very compelling, which is why I positioned the portfolio to take that on. So
- 19:25currently in my portfolio, I've actually got a lot of it. By all accounts, incidentally,
- 19:29I actually have a lot in term deposit at the minute because term deposit producing 5%. I know
- 19:33interest rate is going to go up again, so I might eventually
- 19:36get 5.5%. Risk-free. There is a risk to some extent for a term
- 19:39deposit because it's a bank, but I don't think there's going to be bank runs. They're very conservatively run banks.
- 19:43But again, the government guarantees. It's quite close to risk-free,
- 19:47over 5%. Risk-free, even after tax, 3.5% in
- 19:50my pocket, still better than property, and it's completely different
- 19:54risk profile, and it takes no effort. So some of it's there, and then half
- 19:58of it's in oil stocks, rail, and copper, and
- 20:02I'm producing 3.7% dividend yield from
- 20:05the oil, but I gotta pay tax, so .037, because it's
- 20:09American. So I'm probably left with 2.6, and
- 20:13the rail's paying about two. After tax, I'm left with
- 20:19.7. 1.4. So I think all in all, my portfolio is probably bringing in 3% on
- 20:23that side, which is fine. It's still better than
- 20:26property because I don't have to manage it all, even after tax.
- 20:30That's the way that sits. And then the term deposit is 0.05. So if I just split it,
- 20:350.3 times 0.5, I'm at a net yield. We
- 20:38could probably take a little bit more because of the tax of the term deposit. we're at a net yield
- 20:41of probably three and a half. So I'm still a whole percentage point ahead
- 20:46of property with no challenges, like
- 20:49no administrative stuff. But if I was
- 20:52building, if I was positioned for pure income in my pocket, of
- 20:56course I wouldn't hold international stocks. I'd hold Australian companies, paying
- 21:00a fully frank dividend, and I'd hold a basket of stocks that
- 21:03were paying three to four to five to 6%, hold
- 21:06a variety, probably get the yield to five. And my, let's say for
- 21:09example, $3 million invested, that $3 million would bring
- 21:12in about $150,000 a year of untaxable income. Pretty
- 21:15good. You can retire in time. You can live off that, and you're done.
- 21:19If you wanted to retire, you could. But retirement's not
- 21:22in my, I'm not interested. We're only starting. In
- 21:26the next 20 years, it's going to be so fun. But I wanted
- 21:29to do this exercise with you so you can see that I'm
- 21:33not just making this up, which one does better. You can see from this
- 21:36episode that shares clearly
- 21:39win this. They win. Is there opportunities where
- 21:44rent can go up in properties? Yeah, of course, and it increases the yield. But is
- 21:47there chances where dividends can also go up? Absolutely. They can pay special
- 21:51dividends with blight earnings reports. You can get paid a lot in
- 21:54dividends too, and that will rise. I prefer shares because
- 21:57more of the money ends up in my pocket and it takes less effort. And
- 22:01it's not concentrated. It's spread across and diversified. Where if I buy one
- 22:04house, it's fully concentrated in one street, one suburb, one type, and
- 22:08it's there. And if I go through like a 10-year period where it's like rent's not
- 22:11going, I'm not growing, I just don't like it. And especially the
- 22:14end of a big boom. So would I be interested in property yields? Yeah,
- 22:1910%. I would be. And that's possible too. So if I see that happening, I might
- 22:22switch my strategies. But until that happens, you know
- 22:25where I stand. So I hope that makes sense. I hope you've enjoyed that. And you can see categorically
- 22:29that I prefer shares because of that. And I've
- 22:32given you the facts there. If you agree with me, great. If you don't pop it
- 22:35in the comments anyway, let's have a conversation about it. But if you're someone who wants to learn
- 22:38more about shares, because you see that, oh my God, I didn't know you could
- 22:41get tax-free income. And I didn't know you didn't know these things. This
- 22:45is just because it's a lack of education. So if you want to get more educated, what I would encourage
- 22:48you to do is go back a few episodes. I did this masterclass
- 22:52called Shares Masterclass, not meant for the public, which it wasn't. And
- 22:55I firmly, I'm obviously biased, but I firmly believe it's the greatest piece
- 22:59of content we've actually put out on the show. And if you watch that, it's
- 23:02going to be an absolute masterclass in shares. I want you to watch it, skill
- 23:05up, level up. So you do know, so you've got options. So it's not just like people
- 23:09that get into profit, they didn't do it because they had no other idea. But get the idea, go
- 23:12watch the masterclass, and of course, if you want to get educated with all things money,
- 23:16grab our book, Money Buys Happiness. It's the best place to start. Go
- 23:19to moneybuyshappinessbook.com, but I'll put the link in the show
- 23:23notes below. Grab that book, start it off, and let's
