  • Fantastic information and comforting!

    It took me about a dozen clicks to figure out how to rate this podcast but I persevered because of how important I think this podcast is. I am financially literate, know how to budget and manage my money but I am clueless about my super and whether I will have enough for retirement. I worry about this. Even something that sounds simple like topping up my super, I don’t know how to actually do this. I have commenced building my knowledge on this phase and Becs book and this podcast are a valuable... more

  • The info I needed to hear

    Really enjoying the variety of topics that this podcast presents relative to my life as I consider what “retirement” looks like. It speaks to the fact that the one size fits all doesn’t apply.

  • Entering But Need Info

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while and happy to look past its sexist views on things as 30 years ago it would have been the other way around. But the current episode inspired me to wright a review and unsubscribe.

    The episodes are entertaining but if you are looking for some factual information there are no links to sites or what governing body the referred help and assistance can be accessed from. Pointless!!! I just realised I’ve been wasting my time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The top-to-bottom mid-life health audit!
Q: What tests should people take at midlife?
Screenings a government program covers are key (bowel cancer, breast cancer, cervical screening, eye/hearing exams, blood sugar, cholesterol, diabetes risk tools). People should update Medicare with current address and consider online risk assessments to tailor prevention.
2026 budget breakdown; 'Fundamental changes to the way we invest'
Q: What does this mean for planning in the next 12-24 months?
Work with an advisor to crystallize gains or losses for the financial year, assess asset mixes, and consider timing around CGT changes, the potential shift to margin lending in share investing, and the continued importance of superannuation as a tax-efficient growth vehicle.
2026 budget breakdown; 'Fundamental changes to the way we invest'
Q: How should a typical saver near retirement adjust their strategy given these rules?
Prioritize maximizing superannuation contributions, consider the concessional cap increases, potentially rethink property exposure, and look at a diversified portfolio with a tilt toward shares and franking credits, while using any grandfathered arrangements to minimize tax hits.
2026 budget breakdown; 'Fundamental changes to the way we invest'
Q: What are the headline changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, and who is most affected?
Capital gains tax discounts are being scaled back, with more emphasis on inflation-adjusted cost bases and longer holding periods. Negative gearing on established properties is being restricted, which affects older property investors more, while new properties still have some favorable treatment; long-term equity investments and superannuation are highlighted as more tax-efficient pathways.
The hidden ways you’re being nudged to spend; with Chris Kohler
Q: What motivated you to write a book called How They Get You?
He explains wanting to apply a 2025-26 lens to rapidly changing consumer tricks—subscription models, loyalty schemes, pricing tricks, and the cash vs tap economy—so people can understand how these systems are designed to separate them from their money.
