Many Australians know they could benefit from financial advice, but never take the first step. Whether it's the cost, uncertainty about where to start, or the belief that advice is only for wealthy people, there are plenty of barriers. And putting it off could have significant consequences.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Jenneke Mills, Head of Technical Services at MLC Expand, about when to seek financial advice, the mistakes people make, how to choose the right adviser, and why the benefits can extend well beyond money.

This interview is part of Fear & Greed's weekly series in partnership with MLC Expand.
