507 | “I Won't Have Enough to Live Comfortably”: The 3 Greatest Generational Fears of All Time! - Chat with Mark McCrindle

The Property Couch

What should property investors focus on as we prepare for Australia’s next population growth wave?

Class division: We rarely think about it in Australia, but could it become our reality as the gap to enter the property market continues to widen?

To help us unpack this and more, we’re welcoming back Mark McCrindle (who last appeared on the podcast in Ep 185), the social analyst and demographer expert who coined the newest demographic: Generation Alpha!

Mark’s passion in life is tracking social trends across Australia and communicating these groundbreaking insights and generational analyses.
As a sought-after commentator and advisor to executive boards and committees across Australia, he is also the author of five books and the founder of McCrindle, a company that provides demographic data for pretty much any field!

Today, we have the privilege of picking his brains on:

• How decoding generational trends is the hidden KEY to helping individuals make informed and strategic choices with their money and finances
• The three greatest fears and aspirations each generation faces
• Financial Stress: It’s one of the greatest causes of mental health issues and relationship breakdowns. So how is spread across different demographics?

If you want to start making more strategic financial and investing decisions, tune in now!
