Glad to help!

Well explained and clear video. Agree it is for people who know nothing about personal finance.

First Home Super Saver scheme is the most under valued and under rated way to get FREE money towards buying a house. I don't hear enough advertisement for the scheme and frankly am shocked by how little people use it. Not only can do you get the tax benefit (free money) you also get earnings generated from the voluntary contributions, if I had known about it years ago I would have used multiple financial years to maximise it.

I had a free advice session with my superannuation - I learnt about this. What a great scheme!

You deserve more subs than what you have

Thanks, really enjoy your efforts.

If you have a good capital, you should definitely have some flexibility. I would consider diversifying across different asset classes.

Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm a beginner, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.

Before a brokerage account I got my kids into managed funds with regular monthly contributions to help train them for regular saving. My youngest has now opened a broker account and will start in etf’s. The eldest has a hecs debt so some years to pay that down before moving to the brokerage stage.

The only problem is the Government controls the age where you get to access your super. That is a risk i add into my investments. Add money to something i may never see

Great, I happen to have several thousand in savings that can meet my interest earnings goal.

Hey mate I did a video on that comparison here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaKYxrupdLnZcpM.html

To clarify, do you think we should pay off mortgages/100% offset them before investing? I feel like if we did that, we'd never invest. I currently am about 65% offset and was thinking of starting to invest in shares.

@raymondla

Ай бұрын

I think this is personal preference, being completely debt free can be quite liberating but you’ve already significantly offset your mortgage. Another option to consider is debt recycling which turns your non tax-deductible debt into tax deductible debt

Hi raymond, I’ve got a question. Why are there term deposits rates of 4.9% for a year, and are there 5.5% on saving accounts. The bank is supposed to give more because I'm leaving my money alone for a year, but savings accounts give me better returns and I can withdraw my money at any time. I hope you can help me with that dobt. Thank you.

@adambrown5830

Ай бұрын

Hi mate, the reason for this seemingly odd discrepancy is that the 5.5% bank rate may change (typically in response to the Reserve Bank changing the cash rate). So, while it seems obvious that the savings option at 5.5% with no-lock-in is the better option, it may not be if the cash rate drops. For example if you lock in at 4.9% in a term deposit and then interest rates suddenly drop, you'll be glad you got the term, because the bank has committed to paying you that amount. The answer as to what's better really depends on your need for liquidity (instant access), your need for certainty of returns, and speculation about what RBA will do with the cash rate. Hope that helps 😃

I got the shock of my life when I was hit with a tax bill due to Div 293 tax. I was ensuring that I stayed within my backdated self contributions, only to learn that I pushed myself into that bracket. Made it even worse was the extra tax I had taken out of my wage, was gobbled up to pay the Div 293 tax (was paying extra in tax as a savings account for land rates that come in the financial year).

Ай бұрын

super (taxed internally at 15%) is our equivalent but our employers are forced to put in 11% of our salary into it. We can add extra as discussed in this video but only get the 15% contribution tax up to the concessional threshold (unless we have carry forward allowance). Genrally cannot access super until you are 60 and retired or 65.

Yes you can have control over what your super is invested into. Either through a DIY option where there will be a few options to choose from. Or via a SMSF route where you have 100% control, you can buy stocks, bonds or even a property via this route. But the admin overhead becomes a factor with this route

I lost over $75k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong.
