In this month’s newsletter, we tackle a common concern among elderly Australians: the possibility of having to sell your home to cover the cost of aged care. And with so many people wading into the share trading waters these days, it’s worth revisiting passive and active investments and seeing how the two styles compare.

Next, we take the concept of financial freedom and break it down into its core components to see how you might be able to achieve each. Then, for parents of kids who are just entering the workforce, we have some tips to help entice them into making smarter decisions with their money. Finally, we take a look at the drivers of over- and underconfidence in an investor, and how both might impact your bottom line.

Enjoy the edition.
