Super is pretty good value for most people, but as you say getting rid of debt that is not tax deductible (i.e. your home mortgage) makes more sense in a lot of cases. And when you almost pay it off if you keep a small balance there you have a ready, low-cost line of credit (assuming you can redraw) that can be used when you need/want to act fast on something.

"Whoever said politics is just show business for ugly people was truly an individual of supernatural insights."

^ A gem from this New Limited article on how Dutton and the LNP are struggling big time.

Also: "Whether it’s the fallout from Dutton’s backflip over work from home or tariffs, proximity to Trumpian ideas is proving deadly."

I don't really read the papers,listen to radio or watch the news so I wouldn't know anything about politics tbh. Actually I didn't even know there was an election. I have been on a business trip in Tokyo.

Chinese, EU, Japan and and random mega rich people who wanted to teach him a lesson tanked the bond market.

It meant that the greenback was no longer a safe-haven currency.

Donald Trump ran into a brick wall and had no option but to back down

The US president was confronted by a force far greater than his own and the office he now holds overnight. The bond market, an arena where brutality knows no bounds and where the participants take no prisoners.

Considering that old mate has f**k all super and super contributions are taxed at a concessional tax rate of 15%, it seems to the casual observer that his accountant might not be top shelf.

He is old school. Types with 1 finger,drives a xf falcon and wears track pants.
Anyhows he said instead of super we take out $150 a week and every month purchase Gold. So that's what we did from 2001 to 2009. It was f**k all when started doing it. It was cheap then like under $300 an ounce.
He said when there is a war SHARES and UNITS get shaken down. GOLD goes up and Property is like a rock. Stick with them.

So maybe he is an idiot like you suggest. But gold I can see. Property I can see. Superannuation is just an invisible number.
However he did say to buy bitcoin and I never did for this reason. He said it will hit a million dollars when it was only about 20k

Talk to him about debt recycling if you've still got a mortgage. I don't know enough about it but he probably will.
