In today's episode...
G’day legends! This week on Aussie English, Pete chats with his Dad, Ian, about everything from swimming in shark-infested (not really!) waters to the ins and outs of planning for your golden years Down Under.
We’re talking superannuation, pensions, the crazy cost of housing these days, and whether or not the government’s got a clue what they’re doing with the economy.
Ian shares his own experience navigating the world of retirement, and gives some ripper advice on how to set yourself up for a comfy life after work.
Plus, we have a bit of a chinwag about the differences between generations and how things have changed over the years.
It’s a fair dinkum Aussie conversation, full of laughs, insights, and maybe even a bit of snoring (you’ll have to listen to find out!).
So, if you’re keen to learn about retirement planning, or just want to hear a couple of blokes having a yarn, tune in to this week’s episode! You won’t regret it. Give it a crack now!
