Pizza and Property Ep 306: Starting at 50 to be Financially Free - with Gary Carnell & Todd Sloan
Starting at 50 to be Financially Free
What would you do if you realised at 53 that your retirement fund was a million dollars short? That’s exactly the challenge Gary faced in 2018, and instead of giving up, he turned it into an opportunity. His journey shows how the right mindset, education, and action can completely transform your financial future—even when starting later in life.
In this episode, Gary shares how he went from an ordinary retail worker to a successful property developer. From his very first one-into-two subdivision in Morphett Vale to navigating the challenges of rising costs during COVID and now managing a $3 million one-into-five townhouse development, Gary’s story is full of lessons in resilience, adaptability, and the power of taking control.
You’ll hear how he built confidence through small wins, learned to pivot when things didn’t go to plan, and embraced his mantra: “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”
Whether you’re considering property development, worried about your financial future, or simply need some inspiration to take action, tune in because this episode will give you the insights and motivation to get started!
