Buying a home is the great Aussie dream…but, it could turn into a nightmare if you don’t know what you’re doing. Which is obvious right? I mean who tries to buy a house without having any idea of how settlement, offset accounts and mortgage insurance works (awkwardly sips coffee). Fear not because I’m chatting with CommBank Home Lending Specialist, Brooke McArdle, and proud Aussie home owner, Hannah Blackiston, to finally understand the technical stuff - like conditional pre-approval, interest rates and stamp duty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Answer me this, do you know how much super you have saved? Do you know how many super accounts you have? Oh, and could you tell me who those accounts are with?

I also chat with two legends who are proof that retirement isn't the end of the road, it’s the beginning of the open highway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thankfully, Relationships Australia CEO, Elisabeth Shaw, and Group Executive at CommBank, Sian Lewis, join me in this episode to provide the answers. Ohh... one more thing. Given we’re talking about relationships, I thought it was only fair that Laura comes along for the ride too!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
