Episode guide
The conversation
Most people think retirement is something you figure out later.That mindset could be costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In this episode of the RichHer Podcast, Sarah Coombes sits down with financial advisor Kieran Menzie to unpack the truth about superannuation, wealth building, and the hidden tax advantages most Australians completely overlook.
Because here’s the reality: the difference between retiring stressed and retiring wealthy often comes down to the financial decisions you make in your 30s and 40s — not your income level.
Kieran breaks down why so many Australians misunderstand super, the expensive mistakes people make when they ignore it, and how simple weekly contributions can quietly build serious long-term wealth. He also explains why emotional investing during market downturns destroys wealth for everyday people — and what financially successful people do instead.
