Money and Investing with Andrew Baxter

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

In this episode, Andrew break down the Truth about financial freedom that most people get wrong. Many Australians think financial freedom means quitting work, earning passive income, or hitting a large net worth target. The reality is far more practical and, at times, uncomfortable.

The Truth about financial freedom starts with clarity. It is about control over your time, strong cash flow, low consumer debt, and a clear plan for investing. Without discipline around spending, investing, and risk management, income alone will not deliver freedom. Lifestyle inflation, ego spending, and poor asset selection can quietly erode progress.

Andrew shares why building assets that produce consistent income matters more than chasing trends. Highlights how education, patience, and execution separate those who talk about freedom from those who achieve it. Together, they outline the Truth about financial freedom in simple terms: structure your money, invest with purpose, and act with intent.

If you are serious about improving your position and taking control of your financial future, this conversation will give you practical direction.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

Twelve months into the Trump 47 presidency, markets are reacting to rapid policy moves, shifting alliances, and rising geopolitical pressure. This discussion breaks down the Trump Policy shake up and explains how it is influencing currencies, commodities, and global asset prices.

Andrew and Mitch examine the real market impact behind the headlines. Topics include oil supply changes linked to Venezuela, Middle East tension and Iran risk, pressure on China through trade and technology, and the implications of tariffs, NATO friction, and the Greenland debate. Each issue is assessed through a market lens, focusing on how policy signals translate into price movement rather than political noise.

The conversation also covers interest rates, the Federal Reserve, and the growing tension around Jerome Powell. With stocks near record highs and bond markets adjusting to delayed rate cuts, the episode explains how uncertainty affects investor behaviour and why clarity matters when volatility rises.

This Trump Policy shake up is not framed as prediction or opinion. Instead, it connects global events to currency strength, equity performance, and portfolio risk, helping listeners understand what matters and what does not.

If you want a clearer view of how the Trump Policy shake up feeds into markets, currency moves, and portfolio positioning, this episode offers practical context grounded in current conditions.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

In this episode, we dive into the real reason so many Aussies are turning to side hustles. With rising costs and limited wage growth, we talk about building extra income, creating options, and using side hustles to stack cash for investing. You’ll hear how to pick ideas that earn, not just entertain, and why knowing your margins matters from day one.

We walk through digital side hustles, service ideas, and practical ways to get started after work hours without burning yourself out. You’ll also hear honest talk about risk, time, start-up costs, and the smart way to test an idea before committing too much money.

This conversation shows how the right side hustles can grow over time, help you move closer to financial freedom, and give you more control than relying only on a 9 to 5. The focus is simple: start small, learn fast, and build something that pays you back.

Listen in, take notes, and start planning your next step. If this episode helps you, subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who needs it.
