  • Annoying Host

    The host is patronising towards listeners and dismissive of other peoples opinions. His mild profanity is unprofessional and he constantly talks over his guest.

  • Helpful, friendly and always informative

    This is one of my top 2 podcasts on planning for retirement. I love that it covers both complex financial choices and technical issues in a simple way and the human side of retirement. Glen is a master asking simple questions in a way that brings out the best in his guests

  • Rambling fools

    These guys are uninformed and spend half the time talking about how you should spend a bunch of money to use financial advisors, and try convince you it’s worth it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

442 Super contributions over $500k, selling the IP, the bucket strategy debate + more
Q: Given my wife won't be able to access her super for another two years after I retire, are we better off selling the investment property and bank the 450, or keep it and use my super to continue to pay off the loan, then use the rental income to supplement our super related income?
The hosts say there is no single right answer. The decision depends on whether the couple wants to retain the property, its yield and maintenance needs, their liquidity, debt costs, tax planning and estate plans. They note the couple's substantial super balance gives them flexibility to keep the property if they wish.
442 Super contributions over $500k, selling the IP, the bucket strategy debate + more
Q: If the super balance is over $500k, can you still make non-concessional contributions that a Notice of Intent can claim can't be lodged for?
Yes, non-concessional contributions can be made above $500,000, subject to the relevant total super balance limits. A notice of intent to claim is used to claim a personal deduction for a contribution, converting that portion to concessional, not to make a non-concessional contribution.
440 Centrelink Q&A: bereavement, gifting, super recontribution, carer payment + more
Q: What's the difference between the carer payment and the age pension, and should a couple consider staying on carer payment or switching to age pension?
The two payments often align in total value, but the eligibility criteria and rules differ (e.g., residency, overseas travel, and the handling of super as an asset). People weigh the additional flexibility of age pension against the continued support and conditions of carer payments, making the choice based on individual circumstances.
440 Centrelink Q&A: bereavement, gifting, super recontribution, carer payment + more
Q: How does a potential carers payment work for a retired person who is going to be looking after a 95-year-old parent?
In general, the carer payment mirrors the age pension rate when the carer is the primary recipient, and there is also a carer allowance; the decision to move between carer payment and age pension depends on factors like residency, the need to prove ongoing caregiving, and whether the partner's circumstances still qualify for support.
439 Property Q&A: how CGT will work, investment property after age 50, best time to sell + more
Q: Is there a best structure to hold a property for inheritance?
There isn't a single best structure; for child inheritance, ownership can be via personal name or trust depending on estate planning goals, with careful consideration of CGT, deeming, and potential estate taxes.
