Freedonomix is a podcast about more than just money—it's about people, purpose, and the stories that shape our lives. Powered by Independent Wealth Partners, this show is for anyone who believes that true financial freedom is about living the life you want, not just the returns you get.
At Freedonomix, we dive into two key areas, Practical Financial Wisdom (tax, investing, wealth strategies etc.) as well as Inspiring Life Stories from friends and clients .
Whether you're here for the financial insights, the personal stories, or a bit of both, we're glad you've joined us.
Lets get started.
This week, Cameron sits down with Brigitta, an independent financial adviser at IWP, to talk through what to do when someone passes away.
Losing someone comes with grief, and then it comes with paperwork. Bank accounts. Wills. Super. Bills that were never in your name. In this episode, we cover the practical side of death that no one prepares you for, and why calling your financial adviser before you notify anyone else can save you months of headaches.
We cover:
Why joint accounts and single accounts behave completely differently after a death
What happens to super and pensions if there's no clear nomination
The extra mess that comes with assets or property overseas
Simple things you can set up now so your family isn't caught out later.
If you've ever wondered why should I be prepared for when I pass away, this ones for you.

The Real Value of Financial Advice: Less Stress, More Confidence, Better Life Decisions
We looked at our own client data on the IWP Life Survey. Clients who've been with us for a few years score higher across every area of life we measure, not just the financial one. Spiritual wellbeing showed the biggest jump.
That sent us looking at what other researchers have found. Vanguard says advised clients are about half as likely to report high financial stress. Russell Investments found confidence in reaching financial goals roughly doubles after advice. The CFP Board found advised households are better prepared, with more emergency savings and estate planning in place.
In this episode, Cameron Howlett and Chris Haggart walk through the numbers and the stories behind them. It's less about the returns and more about what changes when people stop wondering if they'll be okay.

IWP Market Update September 2026
Rates on hold, inflation still sticky, and the housing correction keeps spreading. In this month's update, we cover the RBA and Fed both holding steady, Australia's headline inflation easing while underlying inflation stays stubborn, a softening US labour market, and dwelling values falling across every capital city. We also look ahead to the big dates in September: US employment and CPI data, the Fed decision, and the RBA's next call.
