  • 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.

416 What to ask to avoid bad financial products & why some funds collapsed
Q: Okay. So Vince, why did some failures in super happen?
Failures tended to arise from the investment management layer and related-party arrangements, with cases showing loss due to mispricing, high leverage, and weak governance, though compensation schemes exist for APRA-regulated funds while direct investments outside that umbrella can leave individuals exposed.
415 Super strategies at 65, moving back to Australia for the pension & borrowing to invest
Q: What are the pros and cons of starting an account-based pension at age 65 when still working?
The hosts outline that pension phase offers 0% tax on earnings and can simplify long-term tax planning, but it also involves minimum drawdowns and potential limits on re-contributing to other super accounts. The decision depends on individual cash flow, income needs, and whether you want the flexibility to access funds later while optimizing tax outcomes.
410 Transition to retirement (TTR) pensions and strategies
Q: What exactly is a transition to retirement pension and when should someone consider using it?
A transition to retirement pension is a specialized form of an account-based pension available from age 60 while you are still employed; it's primarily meant to create a smoother transition into retirement by allowing partial access to super while continuing to work, rather than a full retirement withdrawal plan. It's not a pure tax arbitrage tool anymore, but a flexible mechanism that can fund lifestyle goals, debt reduction, and strategic spending while maintaining balance in future retirement planning.
408 Retiring before 65, super vs shares at 60, contribution decisions and buying a caravan
Q: What should I be looking at regarding super and my shares and retirement planning?
It's advisable to consider building a cash buffer, potentially reducing risk in your investments, and focusing on making the most of your super contributions.
403 Living, moving or want to retire overseas? investing, super and tax as an Aussie expat
Q: What about if Emily did have help debt?
You now have an obligation to give the ATO your foreign address and declare any income to them.
