Get Invested: Scott Phillips on your one page investing plan - The hard part is you!

Investing doesn’t have to be complicated, but with endless opinions, market noise and thousands of investment options competing for your attention, it’s easy to spend more time researching what to buy than actually building a plan you can stick to.

In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy sits down with investor, author and market commentator Scott Phillips to unpack his new book, The One Page Investing Plan, a refreshingly simple framework for making better investment decisions.

Scott challenges the idea that complexity equals sophistication and explains why the best investment plan is often the one simple enough to survive real life, market falls and our own behaviour.

From knowing what “enough” looks like to building buffers, automating your investing and giving different assets a specific job, this is a practical conversation about turning investment theory into a system you can actually follow.

In this episode you’ll discover:

Why “what should I buy?” is the wrong place to start

Why “enough” should come before the asset

The key ingredients of a simple, sustainable investing system

How shares, ETFs, property, super, cash and business interests can work together

Why starting ugly and learning cheap can beat waiting for perfection

The difference between an ETF wrapper and genuinely broad, low-cost diversification

Why maximising after-tax returns matters more than simply minimising tax
