An Epic Start

Super… when you’re young it can feel a bit irrelevant, BUT it’s not! If you’ve never paid any attention, here’s where to start! At the very beginning 😉🥳

Paris had $2,500 sitting in her high interest savings account - her "Epic Start" account - and we sat down to talk through what to do with it before the end of the tax year.
This is the conversation we had about the First Home Super Saver Scheme - how it works, the caps, and why the tax treatment matters more since the new 30% minimum CGT on ETF growth outside super came in.

Part 2 coming - Paris actually makes the contribution, screen recording and all 👀

The old formulas for wealth building just got blown up. Now … there’s a new job to be done… 💥

A lot of people asked us “why?”
Follow along to learn the formula Paris is following next…

So it’s time to really dig into the options Paris has so we can set some realistic goals. And looking at them with her, we’ve had to have some hard conversations about what is sensible and achievable 😳

It’s tough to explore this stuff but it does show us the most sensible ways forward …
