272. What’s your super persona? And what is it costing you?

Most of us know we should be paying more attention to our super. But knowing and doing are very different things.

In this episode, we're joined by Anne McLennan from Vanguard to break down the seven personas that explain why so many Australians stay stuck when it comes to their super, and what to actually do about it. Some of us are panickers, some of us are procrastinators, and some of us are a whole lot of other things in-between.

We cover:

💸 Which persona might be costing you money

💸 Why set and forget can backfire as you get older

💸 How to actually get on top of your super without it taking all weekend

💸 What's worth reviewing before June 30 this year

Chances are you'll recognise yourself in at least one of these. The good news is none of them are unfixable.
