Topic: How to Make Better Financial Decisions

 

Welcome to another edition of the Propertybuyer Podcast

 

Today we will be discussing an issue close to many people’s hearts and that is …money matters, and in particular how we think about money, and how we can make better financial decisions.  And how this relates to property decision.

 

Being aware of our attitudes and upbringing around money has a big impact on future financial behaviour. And in the context of buying a home or investment property – managing, saving and investing money is a critical step to achieve your own personal property goals.

 

Today, we’re joined by Evan Lucas, a seasoned financial expert whose passion for markets started young, sitting alongside his grandfather and discussing investments. Evan's journey has been shaped by his deep interest in behavioural finance—a field he’s explored while working across the Netherlands, the UK, and Australia over the last 15 years.

 He’s come to understand that our attitudes toward money are uniquely personal and always evolving.

 

He's even written a book called “Mind over Money”
