About this episode:
What the heck is Super and who cares? You will. This episode of The Australian Finance Podcast is short and sweet. We’ll tell you why you need to give a damn, the simplest ways to change Super funds, how to check your insurance, ways to add extra and how most people could retire with a few hundred grand extra. If you follow the ideas in this episode, we think it could be the most important 25 minutes of your financial life.
Rask Tip: Paying 1% more in Super fees could mean 20% less at retirement (e.g. in 30 years). It should take a few hours — at most! — to choose a Super investment strategy/options and keep costs low.
