#291 Money News in human words; Home upgrading, how wealthy are you, & stamp duty vs land tax

<p>In this week's money news in human words, I talked about home upgrading, how you can do that and plan around a home upgrade in a way that doesn't sabotage your investing progress. I chatted about the wealth distribution in Australia off the back of some recently released AVS data which is super interesting for money nerds like me.</p> <p>There are a bunch of interesting insights around how you can compare where you fit on the wealth spectrum as well as the New South Wales land tax, the first home buyer choice scheme, and how popular it's been.
