Both used the same playbook Infinity clients follow. Elly sold her car, did Uber Eats at night, and 2 years on, owns 2 investment properties wh...

Sean and Monique were told no for 3 years. 90 days in, almost $30,000 is off their mortgage. Sean and Monique had spent years asking for help with their money and hearing no from everyone, financial advisors included. When Infinity said not yet back in 2023, they took it personally and went to work. The 3 years that followed were brutal. The business dried up after Covid, they lost a pregnancy two weeks before Christmas, a tornado...

Benji and Cherry had $1 million sitting in the bank and a $750,000 mortgage they never paid off. They weren't struggling, and that was the problem. The cash sat there earning interest they were taxed on while they kept paying interest on the home loan, and Cherry was sceptical of Infinity from the start, convinced anything that sounded this good had a catch in it. What changed her mind was seeing their super broken down and realisi...

Clare thought the age gap meant she'd have to work long after Stewart retired. 2 years on, that's changed. Clare and Stewart started with an $855,000 home loan, a credit card maxed out at $12,000 most months, and repayments that barely dented what they owed. Because of the age gap between them, Clare had quietly made peace with being the one still working long after Stewart stopped, funding a retirement that wasn't hers yet. A free...

Jim Chalmers says you'll "get over" the broken tax promise, but Sydney rents just hit $900 a week.   This month we unpack Chalmers' admission that Labor broke its negative gearing and capital gains tax promise, and what "you'll get over it" actually means for renters and investors. We cover the case for capping migration to housing supply, why first home buyer loan applications are down 19% while rents keep climbing, and the...

The retirement plan was to use super to pay off the mortgage and downsize, and it never sat right with Woody. There had to be a better way.
