Investing insights from experts like Paul Clitheroe & Effie Zahos and more Investing insights from experts Getting older has its pluses. Sure, by our 50s and beyond, the days of notching up a personal best in a marathon are likely behind us. But the good news is that we are often approaching peak wealth. Research by KPMG found baby boomers enjoy average net wealth of $2.31 million per household - significantly higher than either Gen X ($1.88 million) or Millennials ($757,000).

Investing insights from experts like Paul Clitheroe & Effie Zahos and more Investing insights from experts The Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC) has been making headlines lately. Not because it's anything new - the card has been around for over 30 years. Rather, it's estimated that around one million Australians could be missing out on the savings the card provides - perks that can add up to $60,000 over the course of your retirement.

I have a confession to make. I am a big fan of chocolate, bubbles and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). What I especially love about ETFs is how they’ve revolutionised investing, allowing more Australians to get into asset markets even when they don’t have much cash to invest. ETFs are simple, accessible and affordable. And with well over 300 to choose from, it’s possible to build a well-diversified portfolio using ETFs alone.

Here’s something I didn’t expect. Despite a cost-of-living crunch, more Australians are signing up for private health insurance. It turns out that 20-somethings are behind the uptick as they hunt for affordable dental, mental health and maternity care. Even so, fewer than half (45 per cent) of us have hospital cover, and less than 55 per cent have general or ‘extras’ insurance, which pays for non-hospital services like dental, optical and physio.

A while ago I shared an health insurance hack that's wasn't so well known. Feedback has been good - most are getting the discount. Those "switching" deals ie up to 12 weeks free aren't just for new customers. Ask you you may just receive. One call saved me $588.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MONTH MAKES. 🤯 CoreLogic’s latest Home Value Index shows home values recover to new record highs in March. Affordability issues may slow things down, but with another rate cut potentially on the cards in May, momentum may continue… #9News https://t.co/2ShCbZvRYS
