This week we're talking housing supply. We've talked about it a few times before, but the recent building approvals data shows a healthy uptick in homes approved for construction, most notably apartments. So, is this a positive sign? Here to discuss all that and more is Shane Garrett, the chief economist at Master Builders Australia. Great chat!

And we chat to savings scribe Bea Garcia about transitioning from renting to buying a home and how to know you are ready. It comes down to flexibility versus stability.

And all the latest news and savings tips.
