- How long will you live? Factors that can influence an individual’s lifespan include genetics, lifestyle choices, and access to healthcare. Making healthy choices can help increase one’s chances of living a longer life. Ultimately, it’s important to take proactive steps towards improving overall health and well-being in order to potentially extend one’s lifespan.
- Starting your child’s education fund with ETFs. Investing in ETFs can be a smart way to start saving for your child’s education fund. By choosing low-cost options and diversifying your investments, you can potentially see significant growth over time. It’s important to start early and consistently contribute to the fund in order to maximize the growth potential.
- The Australian generational wealth divide. There is a growing wealth disparity between generations in Australia due to significant asset price appreciation particularly among baby boomers. Younger generations are facing significant financial challenges compared to older generations. Factors such as rising house prices, student debt, and limited job opportunities are contributing to this divide. The best government policy response is to address the housing demand/supply imbalance.
- Q&A
- When we stop working, how much income will we need to live comfortably in retirement?
- Some friends of ours have recently started getting the Age Pension. We would also like to apply for this. Can we get it?
- I’ve recently changed jobs and realised that over time I may have lost super accounts with money still in them. Is there a way of finding them, even if I don’t have any paperwork?
