Dave's background is a story of true grit and determination. Dave is known as the forklift driver who retired at 28. He did that using a detailed budgeting plan while investing in property and shares.

Dave's first book, Strong Money Australia: How to Gain Financial Independence and Create a Life of Freedom has sold over 20,000 copies, making it one of the most popular books on retirement in Australia.

In this episode, Owen and Dave talk about using debt to invest, whether Dave would choose property again, debt recycling and whether it makes sense to save money in an offset, or invest in shares.
