Should I Be Investing in Times Like These?

Fuel prices have nearly doubled. Two back-to-back rate hikes. Consumer confidence at its lowest point in over 50 years. A war in the Middle East. Should you be investing right now? It's a fair question. This week, we sit down and work through it honestly. We unpack what's actually happening with fuel supply (it's not what the headlines suggest), what the 1970s oil crisis tells us about investing through periods like this, and what Australian property has done through every major crisis since 2001. We also run through a scenario analysis overlaying 1970s conditions onto today's market, and talk through how to think clearly about your own situation when everything around you feels chaotic. Not a pep talk. Just an honest conversation. If you're looking for signal in all this noise, this is it.
