How rich are you really? What 3,000 Aussies told us about wealth

How rich are you really, and how do you stack up against other Australians? In this episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, Owen Rask and Gemma Mitchell unpack early results from Rask’s free Wealth Checker after around 3,000 community members benchmarked their finances. Together, they explore what the data says about net worth, debt, super, property, shares and crypto, and why context matters more than comparison alone. Owen and Gemma break down some of the standout findings so far, including the age groups with the highest crypto balances, when men and women typically hit millionaire and multi-millionaire status, and how wealth gaps widen over time. They also look at why property still dominates household wealth, what the data suggests about debt and business ownership, and why benchmarking can be reassuring when you feel behind. Instead of doom-scrolling everyone else’s wins, this conversation shows how tracking your own net worth can help you spot progress, reset goals and focus on the decisions that actually move the needle. If you want a practical, data-led look at what wealth really looks like in Australia, plus a simple way to check your own numbers, this is a great episode to queue up.
