There has never been a better time for Australians to take control of their financial futures, all it takes is a little bit of time and research. On this episode of In the Balance, hosts Munzurul Khan from KHI Partners and SPI’s Phil Tarrant discuss avenues for increasing financial literacy. They welcome to the show two of Munzurul’s colleagues, Stephanie Youngman and Aboho Haroon, who each share some of the valuable lessons they’ve learnt as accountants from observing client risks and opportunities. Stephanie shares her experience as a property investor, and how she amassed a portfolio of six properties to secure her financial goals. Aboho, meanwhile, delves into the intricacies of self-managed super funds as one avenue for a prosperous retirement.The group discusses how access to information has changed, and shares how resources – just like this podcast – have made information on financial matters more accessible to the general public.
