Super Informed Radio

It’s time to face the spending music. This month, we rope in UniSuper Advice's Alexia Jackson to see how we went with our spending and saving challenge. Things get real—who became more mindful about money? Who saved or spent more?

We also talk retirement adequacy—aka, how much you think you’ll need in retirement—and give you some things to consider when planning for the financial future you want.
