Rule 1 Lack of structured plan/financial goals is the biggest reason for not achieving financial success
Rule 2 You don’t have to be rich to invest, but you have to invest to be rich
Rule 3 Share market pullbacks are healthy and normal – their volatility is the price we pay for the higher returns they provide over the long term
Rule 4 Minimising tax goes hand in hand with investing, by increasing your tax-deductible debt for investments
Rule 5 Think about increasing your assets rather than increasing your income
Rule 6 Superannuation is the best tax structure for tax-free passive income
Rule 7 A penny saved is more than a penny earned
Rule 8 Your lifetime results as an investor will be mostly determined by what you do during wild times
Rule 9 The pain of losing is psychologically twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining so reconsider taking unnecessary risk
Rule 10 There is an inverse relationship between investment performance and time spent watching financial news
Rule 11 Get rich quick and get poor quick are two sides of the same coin
Rule 12 A house is a place to live but also provides an amazing opportunity to leverage the equity and build your asset base
Rule 13 Keep some powder dry….volatility equals opportunity
Rule 14 Learn how to convert bad debt into good debt using debt recycling. This strategy involves transferring your non-deductible debt on your home loan into a tax-deductible debt on an investment loan
Rule 15 If you employ an evidence-based approach in the long run, the investment returns produced by property and shares should be materially similar
Rule 16 Good savings – not income – are the key determinants of wealth, so achieving the retirement you want means being disciplined no matter the size of your salary
Rule 17 Compound interest applied to investments is like magic. Set yourself up to benefit from it rather than battle against it
Rule 18 Investing is a game of doubles – use the rule of 72 to work out how long it will take for your investment to double in value. It’s as simple as taking the anticipated interest rate and dividing it into 72. So if you expect a return of 8% pa then as 72 divided by 8 equals 9, it will take 9 years to double your money.
Rule 19 Always be prepared for the unexpected, and have the right buffers and line of credits in place
Rule 20 Most people overestimate what they can do in 1 year and underestimate what they can do in a 10-year market cycle
