Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in The Money Show which aired on Friday 21 October 2022. They start the show by talking about luxury car tax, a tax that was introduced to protect the Australian car manufacturing. This week’s topic for discussion however is: Rising interest rates and your mortgage. They are on the rise after a long period of being at record lows, so what might mortgage holders think about?
Key topics covered include:

- For those with loans, Luke offers several different strategies to consider.
- Luke explores the benefits of using a mortgage broker.
- Are there other things you can consider in the family budget with rising costs?
- The benefits of paying with cash.
