Mark Tilbury joins Rob for an enlightening discussion on money including challenging common misconceptions, including the moral implications of money. They unpack the truth about issues like inflation, interest rates, taxation, and what real financial freedom means. Mark shares his valuable perspective as an entrepreneur and investor, debunking myths and offering insights on how money impacts happiness, relationships, business, and life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Money is a tool for freedom, not the root of evil. That view is meant to suppress ambitions.
- Inflation erodes money's value, but people don't see it because their savings balances stay stagnant.
- Goal number one for anyone should be beating inflation.
- Property owners benefit during inflation as mortgages lose relative value, but most people only see the rising interest costs.
- The global reserve currency equals power. The US dollar will likely lose status eventually and be replaced by something like a cryptocurrency.
- Taxation beyond a certain point demotivates the "doers" who create growth and opportunity. It needs simplifying (e.g. flat tax).
- Happiness is about the journey, not the destination. Money enables freedom but doesn't directly bring happiness.
BEST MOMENTS
“It’s all about control isn’t it”
“Money is not evil, money is a tool”
"If everyone's paying 20%, you know everyone's fair. Everyone's the same... Your lower earners could be tax-free for a much bigger amount."
"As an entrepreneur for nearly 20 years... You shouldn't have that feeling. You should have the feeling of, I'm really doing well, I'm helping this country."
“I don’t mind a property crash because I’m an investor”
“I wanna awaken people”
“I reckon money is up there with the wheel in terms of a great invention”
