So you might be thinking, we’re an investing podcast, why are you talking about super? But super is invested. So if you have a job, and you’re earning money, you are investing in the stockmarket. In this episode, Sophie and Maddy take a tour of how the current system functions, talk about some of the main issues with the current superannuation system, look at what the recent government changes mean (particularly for young Australians), and have a look at the different options you can take with your super. And, we hear some of your thoughts about the super industry.
This episode was brought to you by Superhero Super
