3 Money Mistakes
Most Aussies Don't See Coming

Each one quietly costs everyday Australians thousands.
We help you spot them β€” before they cost you.

Debt mistake

A $40,000 new car costs you closer to $62,000 in 5 years β€” once interest and depreciation are counted.

Most Aussies look at the sticker price. They forget the loan interest (about $11,000 on a 5-year, 10% loan), the insurance (~$1,400/yr), and the depreciation (a $40k car drops to about $18k in 5 years). Add it up and a $40,000 decision costs you $62,000 β€” and you have an $18k car at the end of it.

Educational example. Based on a 5-yr loan at 10% p.a. plus typical depreciation and insurance. Your numbers will vary.

Timing mistake

Buying near the cycle top means waiting years just to get your money back β€” but most people never check.

Historically, buying near the cycle top means waiting years just to get your money back. Anyone who bought Bitcoin at its November 2021 peak waited nearly 3 years. This happens every cycle. The signals are there if you know where to look β€” and we show you.

Tax mistake

Same $10,000. Same 20 years.
One path leaves you $112,000 behind.

Invest from your pay and the tax office takes 32.5% going in β€” plus capital gains tax when you sell. Salary-sacrifice the same amount into super and it only costs 15% going in β€” with zero CGT in pension phase. Over 20 years at 7% growth, that's a $112,000 difference.

Educational example. 20-yr scenario, 7% p.a. growth, $10k/yr salary-sacrifice. Actual outcome depends on ATO rules, super caps, and your tax bracket.

Meet Adrian

Adrian, founder of Ripper Wealth

β€œEducate everyday Australians to grow and protect their wealth, without handing it over.”

Ripper Wealth mission

I have been investing through multiple market cycles for over 15 years. I have made the mistakes on this page and learned from them.

I built Ripper Wealth because I could not find a place that taught Australian investors how markets actually work, in plain English, without selling products or advice.
