Let's be honest — most young people don't think about estate planning. It sounds like something for much later in life… right?

In this episode, we chat with Alannah Matchett from Harwood Andrews about why things like wills, powers of attorney, super, and even your digital accounts actually matter more than you might think.

We talk about what happens if you don't have a will, why your super could be worth a lot more than you realise, and the simple steps you can take now to make things easier for the people around you.

It's not as complicated (or scary) as it sounds — just a practical conversation about planning ahead.

🎧 Have a listen. Your future self will thank you.

Aged care in Australia is changing and many families are only starting to realise what that means for them. With new rules now in place, more of the cost of care is being shared with individuals based on their income and assets, making forward planning more important than ever.

In this episode, Jay and Delta discuss the broader changes affecting both support at home and residential aged care. They talk through why cash flow matters, how costs are assessed, and why having early conversations can help avoid rushed decisions during already stressful times. The discussion also touches on the challenges facing the sandwich generation as they support ageing parents while still planning for their own financial future.

Whether you are thinking ahead for yourself or helping a loved one navigate aged care decisions, this episode provides practical insights to help you understand the landscape and prepare with greater confidence.
