Dear Paul,I'm 37 and am the main household income earner (close to $100,000pa gross) and my wife, 32, has a net income of about $35,000pa. I have been salary sacrificing 10% of my income over the past 10 years, and my super is in a tax-deferred fund with about $210,000. I've contributed and invested consistently over these years in my share portfolio, which currently sits at $140,000, with an average return of 21% since inception (eight years).

Dear Paul,My wife, 31, and I, 38, have just accepted an offer on our home in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs. We essentially own it outright and will keep the proceeds of the sale with the exception of the agent's fees and usual costs. I bought the property as a single man some 11 years ago for $325,000 and our offer sits at well over double this price.

Dear Paul,I arrived in Australia as a toddler. My family were refugees from Vietnam. Money was always tight, but my parents worked hard to make sure my siblings and I never went without. We patched clothes, wore shoes with holes in them and were raised to maintain and look after our things. Losing a hat at school was not an option. I got a scholarship for uni and am now fortunate to be earning more money than my parents ever earned combined. My husband also has a decent salary.
