Hello and welcome back to SugarMamma’s Fireplay 🔥 This episode is one that may challenge everything you’ve been taught about money, property, and what it really means to build wealth.

But what if that belief isn’t always the best financial move? In this episode, I sit down with Sydney-based wealth manager Mark Welsh, who has made the conscious decision to rent — despite having the financial capacity to buy property .
