Financial Freedom for Every Generation: Moonee Valley Voices with John Cachia

John Cachia recently appeared on the Moonee Valley Voices podcast to share his story and vision for Thriving Wealth. John’s approach is not just financial planning; it’s about empowering ambitious Australians to align their finances with their life goals so they can truly thrive. 

John was a guest on the local podcast and shares his personal story, his connection to the Moonee Valley community, and what sets Thriving Wealth apart.

Starting with a Vision of Change

John’s journey in financial services started at 14. By 20, he had begun Thriving Wealth because he believed financial advice could be much more than investment strategies and retirement plans. His early career taught him about resilience, hard work, and building trust with clients. Today, Thriving Wealth helps clients gain clarity, confidence, and financial freedom.

“Financial freedom isn’t just about having wealth,” John said in the podcast. “It’s about using that wealth to live a life that truly reflects your values and aspirations.”

Financial Literacy for Every Generation

John’s financial literacy goes beyond his work with clients. Through workshops, online masterclasses, and his podcast Cash Talk, he’s determined to make financial education accessible for all ages—even children. As a father himself, John knows that teaching basic financial principles to kids is invaluable for long-term success.

“We’ve run workshops for young kids on financial basics, and it’s amazing how quickly they pick up concepts like saving, budgeting and understanding the value of money,” John said. “These are skills that can set them up for life.”

A New Way of Wealth Management

At Thriving Wealth we believe financial planning should go beyond the traditional models. That’s why John has developed a new approach that combines strategic financial advice with behavioural coaching. By helping clients understand their core motivations Thriving Wealth guides them towards financial goals that really resonate with them on a deep level.

“Our approach is about asking the right questions: not just ‘How much do you want to save?’ but ‘Why is this goal important to you?’ When clients can connect their finances to their values they’re more likely to stick to it and achieve true fulfillment,” John said.

The Community

Growing up in East Keilor, John’s connection to the Moonee Valley community is at the heart of Thriving Wealth’s purpose. His dream is to create a community where financial literacy is for everyone. From workshops and educational content to free resources, John and the Thriving Wealth team are here to support individuals and families at every stage of their financial journey.

“As much as we love working one-on-one with clients, we’re just as passionate about giving back to the community,” John said. “Financial literacy is the foundation for financial freedom, and we want everyone to have access to it.”
