The Pay Off with Sylvia Jeffreys

Next week, the federal budget drops. For most of us, it’s a flurry of headlines and jargon that feels a world away from our daily bank balance. But behind the billion-dollar figures are the decisions that dictate your rent, your grocery bills, and your job security.
And luckily, to help us 'get it', there's Nine Finance Editor Chris Kohler.
In this episode, Chris breaks down what might be the budgets biggest tickets - including capital gains tax, negative gearing, housing affordability, grandfathering, gas exports, unemployment and more.
He also discusses some of the tools he's heard have been most helpful to people from his book 'How They Get You', including giving delivery apps a second thought and scheduling a 'hell day', and why he decided to start a podcast of his own: 'How We Got Here'
