real time help

I think that Alan has provided some great information to assist with retirement. The pace was good and the information is very current. I really enjoyed it and have recommended it to two other friends.

Very Informative Book.

I learnt a bit of history within the banking industry, as well as good information for the future.
Thank you.

I could listen to his dulcet tones all day.

Just a really good intro into all the things we should all know about: our money, financial planners, the banks, basic terms and trends.

He covers a lot of bases and I'm a massive fan. Cheers Alan

Foundational read on personal finance

Highly specific to Australia, but I would say Australians should read this first before the traditional personal finance books (The Wealthy Barber, even perhaps The Intelligent Investor).

Stock take all your investment especially your superannuation

How much do you keep track of your superannuation? Do you know the fees? What are the annual return and what sort of assets class it is currently being invested in?
Everyone is different, and you should care because it is your money. Especially post Banking Royal Commission, you need to be more diligent in managing your own money and not letting it hoping someone else will do it for you.

Great book and summary

Only wish I’d been able to read this years ago. Excellent narration by Alan Kohler. Disagree with the blockchain trend at the end, AI completely will change our world and the war markets and businesses perform but blockchain still is a product looking for a problem.

Excellent - a field I lack expertise in

Liked the advice - and personal insights
Like the success he has had in bringing reform among the banks and super companies
Like the onus on me to retain control - of sorts
Do this while outsourcing to others! Thanks Alan.
