About this episode

How do you make smart money decisions when you don’t know what your future looks like? That’s the question to start this episode.


Alex and Scott, co-founders of Everest Wealth, join us to unpack big financial questions from the Equity Mates community. Whether you’re juggling saving, investing or super; wondering when to get a financial adviser; or trying to explain to your partner that investing isn’t gambling - this one’s for you.


In today's episode we also discuss:

  • Paying down debt vs investing
  • Labor’s super tax proposals and what they mean for investors
  • Investing for kids in a tax-smart way
