Expert Economist: Inflation, HECs, buying a property & recessions
06/13/22 • 49 min
Wondering what impact inflation will have on your life?
In this episode of the podcast, we ask Dr Sam Wylie (Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Melbourne) to unpack what everyone’s talking about: interest rates and inflation.
Sam gives us a rundown on inflation and what it means for our living costs, mortgages, jobs and investments. Plus, we discuss what a recession is, investing in times of uncertainty and making the most of our finances by better understanding where we sit on the risk spectrum.
