At nineteen, Rob Creaton walked into a bank and asked for thirty grand to buy a silver V8. He got it, plus some loan insurance he'd later claw back in a class action. The car's long gone. The maths on what that $600 a month could have become is still sitting there. In the aftershow, Rob and Alex compare bad car decisions, and Bindi asks the question that reframes the whole thing — what did you have to unlearn before you could build wealth?
- The $30k car loan at 19, and the $300k it quietly cost
- Alex's Mustang, and why you can justify almost any purchase after the fact
- Why "pay off the mortgage, bank the rest" was never a retirement plan
- Shares and property — Rob on why he rarely picks one
- Your goals aren't your strategy: what to do when a client says "I don't know what I want"
The pour: The Macallan A Night on Earth: The First Light. Speyside single malt, 43%, no age statement, artwork by New Zealand illustrator Bonnie Brown. Caramelised marshmallow, pavlova, vanilla ice cream, manuka honey. Chosen for Rob — dressed sharp, approachable underneath.
