About this episode

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 How to write your investment rules before fear, FOMO or a market crash takes control Why checking your portfolio constantly can do more harm than good The importance of separating your emergency fund from your investing account The one low-friction action you can take in the next seven days to get started If investing has started to feel unnecessarily complicated, this conversation with Scott Phillips is a timely reminder that a great plan doesn’t need to fill a spreadsheet. Sometimes, the best investment plan really can fit on one page.
