It’s easy to assume that someone earning big money with solid savings must already be winning in the property game. But that’s not always the case.

A recent conversation with a Teach Me About Property (TMAP) student really brought this to light. This person is a successful professional at the director level, about to turn 50, earning over $200K a year, with more than $150K in savings—yet they still don’t own property.

So, why not? With that kind of income and savings, what’s holding them back?

There are three layers to the answer: Comfort, Fear, and Education.

Let’s break them down.


1. The Comfort Game

This student is living well. Travel, dinners out, freedom to spend, freedom to enjoy—it’s all part of the lifestyle that comes with a strong income. And fair enough—they’ve worked hard to get there.

But here’s the issue: comfort today can lead to discomfort later.

The end game of the comfort game looks a lot like the poverty game if you don’t build assets. When you go from earning $200K a year to relying on $500 a week from the age pension, your lifestyle won’t look the same.

That income drop? It’s called the income cliff—and it hits hard.


2. Fear of Losing Freedom

A lot of people believe that owning property means sacrificing lifestyle.

They worry that buying a home or investment property will eat up all their cash, cut their holidays, and stop them from enjoying the finer things.

The fear is simple:
“If I buy property, I lose the freedom I worked so hard for.”

But that thinking only works in the short term. Without assets, there’s no income to support the life you want later.


3. Lack of Education

This is where everything changes.

Once someone understands how property works—really understands it—they see that property doesn’t take freedom away. It gives it.

Owning property builds asset-based income. You buy the asset, the asset pays you. Over time, the property increases in value—that’s called capital growth—and your wealth builds.

And that wealth? It’s not just for the next five or ten years.
It’s for the rest of your life—and the lives of your kids, and their kids too.


The Real End Game: Generational Wealth

The truth is, the wealth game isn’t about giving things up. It’s about:

  • setting things up.
  • buying assets now so you can keep living the life you love later—without stress, without struggle, and with options.
  • building something that lasts beyond your own life.

Generational wealth means your children and grandchildren get the life you never had growing up. That becomes your legacy.
