Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 28 June, 2021 “You’ve never been richer” says the Government’s chief statistician. And he’s quoting stats, so you know it’s 100 per cent fact. (Oh, except for when they need to belatedly revise things.) Given the financial year we farewelled last month, that would have been a gutsy prediction […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 14 June, 2021 June is finance Grand Final time and you can smell the tension in the air. Might make you jumpy enough to get you a little punchy – give or take a little bit of a jab. Lucky […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 31 May, 2021 Kids always seem to forget their parents were once their age. And every excuse they try to pull on is one their oldies have previously used themselves. “Oh, DebtBoy. You haven’t done your homework because you haven’t had […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 17 May, 2021 No matter your political colours, it’s fair to say most rules and laws are made for sensible reasons – at the time they’re made.

Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 3 May, 2021 Done and dusted. That’s it. A line in the sand has been drawn on low interest rates. The only way is up. The Reserve Bank has mouthed the words. And the major lenders have responded. They’ve even told us when. […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 19 April, 2021 The on-off argument went for longer than a year. But, finally, Mrs DebtMan and I agreed on terms. And a way forward. It was tough. As always in these situations, there were no outright winners. Both sides had to compromise. But […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 5 April, 2021 It’s not often that first home buyers get one-up on investors. But they certainly did coming out of the depths of Covid last year. In a “normal” market cycle, investors tend to swoop first on the bargains, leaving first timers buying into an already rising market. This […]

Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 15 February, 2021 Elon Musk doesn’t care much for rules or boundaries. Certainly not the rules of science, gravity, defamation or securities exchange bosses. He revels in having an extreme view on pretty much everything, from populating Mars to Covid-19, from public transport to artificial intelligence. And the world needs […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 1 February, 2021 Once upon a time, saving was fun. Put money into the bank and get a warm glow each month when your interest arrived. Remember then? When banks actually paid interest and helped you […]
