  • Boyle's humorous take on government spending and financial systems.

"Debt is actually good, especially if you can pay zero percent interest or anything under like four, anything under four or five, it's basically free money"
In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle dives into the latest changes in Australia's student debt policies with his signature humour and candidness. Boyle shares the good news for himself and the bad news for the rest of Australia as the government announces a shift from CPI to WPI for student debt indexation.
This change means a significant reduction in the annual increase of his student debt, which he amusingly points out, benefits him while costing the country billions. Boyle's reflections on inflation, government spending, and the absurdity of the current financial system are both eye-opening and entertaining. He emphasises how debt can actually be advantageous in an inflated economy, making a compelling case for why you should never rush to pay off your student loans.
If you're looking for a mix of financial insight and comedy, this episode is a must-listen. Boyle's raw and honest take on economic policies and their personal impact is bound to resonate with anyone navigating financial challenges. Tune in for a dose of reality, laughter, and perhaps a new perspective on debt.
