Is Australia's Middle Class Disappearing? | Fat Profits Podcast Ep. 20

Welcome to Episode 20 of the Fat Profits Podcast.

In this episode, Corey and Ben unpack one of Australia's biggest financial debates: is the middle class disappearing? The conversation begins by reacting to a viral social media clip about wealth inequality before diving into what really creates wealth, whether the financial system is as "rigged" as some claim, and why building long-term financial security still comes down to discipline, ownership and consistency.

Corey also shares his experience of building multiple businesses from the ground up, the financial and emotional pressures of running a small business, and why entrepreneurship isn't as glamorous as social media often makes it seem. Whether you're thinking about starting a business, investing in property, or simply trying to improve your financial future, this episode offers practical insights into the realities of building wealth in Australia.
