Your Future Self is Begging You To Liste...

Victoria Devine
About this episode

Trying to figure out how much super you actually need? Yep, it’s confusing. With all the numbers, charts, and retirement buzzwords flying around, it’s no wonder most of us throw it in the “deal with it later” pile. But future you? They’re going to be so glad you tuned in.

This week, Victoria’s giving you the real talk on super: why comparing your super to everyone else’s might leave you short, how to figure out your own retirement number and what to do if you’re feeling a little (or a lot) behind. This episode is all about ditching the overwhelm and making you feel empowered by your super. 

In this ep you’ll find:
💸 The average super balances everyone’s curious about 
💸 What the “ASFA comfortable retirement” number is... and if we’re buying it
💸 How much super you'll actually need for the retirement lifestyle you want
💸 A stack of free tools that do the hard maths for you
💸 The easiest way to check if you’re on track 
💸 Tiny super habits that can have a serious impact on your balance
