If you’ve ever looked at your super and thought, “Am I in the right investment option?” — this episode is for you.

One listener recently asked me:
“Hi Canna, I’ve just realised I’m in the Balanced option with my super, but I don’t think this is right for me or my age group. Should I switch to Growth or High Growth?”

It’s such a common question — and one that could have a huge impact on your financial future. But before making any changes, there are important things to understand.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

• ✅ Why your super investment option matters more than you think.

• 🧠 How to work out your risk profile and why age isn’t the only factor.

• 💸 The hidden costs of switching options (like capital gains tax inside super).

• 🔍 What to check in your super fund itself — fees, investment menu, insurance, and retirement features.

• 📈 Why contributions matter just as much as investment choice.

• 🔄 How to review your super regularly so it stays aligned with your life.

• 👩‍💼 When and why to seek advice from a licensed financial planner.

Most importantly, I’ll show you how to move from confusion and hesitation to confidence and clarity with your super — one of your most powerful long-term wealth-building tools.
