Show Notes
Most of us know we should be paying more attention to our super. But knowing and doing are very different things.
In this episode, we're joined by Anne McLennan from Vanguard to break down the seven personas that explain why so many Australians stay stuck when it comes to their super, and what to actually do about it. Some of us are panickers, some of us are procrastinators, and some of us are a whole lot of other things in-between.
We cover: 💸 Which persona might be costing you money 💸 Why set and forget can backfire as you get older 💸 How to actually get on top of your super without it taking all weekend 💸 What's worth reviewing before June 30 this year
Chances are you'll recognise yourself in at least one of these. The good news is none of them are unfixable.

Business plans can feel like something left over from year 12 business studies. But skipping the document is different from skipping the thinking. Your target market, pricing, risks and long-term plans can expose whether the business actually makes sense, and whether it will give you the life you wanted in the first place.
Corey Goldby bought his first property at 19, went on to build a business with 35 staff and recently negotiated its sale. Yet when Tash asks whether he feels successful, his answer is no. In fact, one of the biggest feelings of achievement he's experienced came from something much simpler: paying off his personal debt.
If you had $1,000 to invest and were starting from scratch today, where would you begin?
Opening a separate business account sounds simple until the money starts coming in. Suddenly you’re juggling tax, GST, payroll, profit, late invoices, interest and the uncomfortable reality that a healthy-looking balance may not actually be yours to spend.
Alternative investments can sound like the part of investing reserved for wealthy insiders. Private equity and private credit can offer access to companies and opportunities you won’t find on the share market, but they can also mean six-figure minimums, less transparency and locking your money away for years.
