    #88. SOLO - How to Build Wealth When Property is SO EXPENSIVE

    15/05/2026 | 17 mins.
    For decades, buying property in the UK was the safest bet you could make. But the conditions that made it work — falling interest rates, rising incomes, cheap debt — may never return.
    In this video, I break down why the golden age of UK property might be over, what the real inflation-adjusted returns actually look like, and why blindly climbing the property ladder could be the biggest financial mistake of your generation.
    I also cover the hidden cost of property most people never calculate, why the rent vs mortgage debate is more complicated than you think, and what building wealth actually looks like for the next generation.

    #87. Renting vs Buying: What’s Actually Better? | Curtis Anderson

    12/05/2026 | 8 mins.
    Is renting really a waste of money?

    In this clip, we break down the modern property debate, discussing why renting isn’t always a bad financial decision and why buying a house isn’t always the smartest move either.

    We discuss mortgages, investing, savings, ISAs, property prices, financial flexibility and the psychology behind owning a home. We also explore why more young people are questioning traditional advice around buying property and whether investing money elsewhere can sometimes make more sense.

    A powerful conversation around modern wealth, financial freedom and the realities of renting vs buying in today’s economy.
