  • Great podcast

    Love the podcast! However just a bit of feedback the number of references to Gemma’s book is getting a bit grating. Love you guys.

  • Great show, poor editing

    I love this show, I’ve learned so much from listening and will definitely miss Kate.

    My one gripe is the editing,which is similar with some of the other Rask podcasts. I skip the first two minutes because the preamble is so long, and occasionally the editing has been a bit random, with little bits that they talk about editing out, being left in. Today I was listening to one of the latest episodes and was totally gripped when the last 15 minutes became a garbled edited chat repeating certain bit... more

  • Superannuation…it needs more love and accuracy

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year now and find the financial information generally helpful. However, the exception, and it’s a big one, is the superannuation content of this podcast. The hosts, Owen and Kate, have at least two episodes dedicated to this topic, and by estimation, it’s time to bring in a third party expert to clear up the inaccuracies that both hosts have provided. For example, both hosts have failed to emphasise the crystal clear early retirement benefits of sup... more

  • University savings hacks by Kate

    Kate Campbell on this podcast is very basic and very cheap, I’d hate to be on a date with her as it’d be dry biscuits and a packet of dates for both of you.

    I’d recommend she have her own podcast living in poverty instead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fuel relief is coming, credit card surcharges are going plus, starting with $2k & retirement planning
Q: What should a couple in their mid-40s with a mortgage, two kids, and no investments consider next?
Focus on behavioral aspects and a practical plan: balance mortgage repayment with investing, consider engaging a financial advisor for accountability, and build a simple, sustainable long-term strategy that fits their situation and comfort level with money.
Estate planning, super & SMSFs: What happens to your money?
Q: How does an SMSF differ from an industry or retail fund in terms of estate planning and control?
An SMSF provides greater control over who manages the fund and how benefits are allocated, but it comes with higher costs and responsibilities compared to industry or platform funds which are more automated and less hands-on.
Estate planning, super & SMSFs: What happens to your money?
Q: How important is a binding nomination in super, and what happens if you don't have one?
Binding nominations force the trustee to follow your wishes, potentially avoiding disputes; without one, distributions follow state laws and trustee discretion, which may not align with your intentions.
Estate planning, super & SMSFs: What happens to your money?
Q: Is there anything like I need to consider before planning my next steps with funeral funds after a relative passes away?
Yes—check the total benefit, what costs are covered, whether funds go directly to the provider or to the beneficiary, and whether any debts remain in the estate that could affect how the money is used.
Becoming a financial planner, SpaceX IPO & your questions answered
Q: If SpaceX IPOs, will it force inclusion in major ETFs and how would that affect investors?
If SpaceX IPOs, it could be added to major US ETFs like the Nasdaq ETF, potentially becoming a large holding and influencing index fund dynamics; however, investors cannot selectively exclude SpaceX from an ETF.
