Many Australians are pushing back their retirement age — not because they want to, but because they feel they have to.
In this empowering episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, Financial Planner and author Canna Campbell reveals the seven powerful steps that can help you retire earlier, live better, and finally enjoy the freedom you’ve been working toward.

Forget luck or risky crypto trades — early retirement is about strategy and discipline. You’ll learn how to:
💥 Prioritise and grow your super for long-term success
💥 Manage debt strategically so it’s gone before you retire
💥 Invest outside super to create early passive income
💥 Cut financial clutter and stop wasting money on stuff
💥 Build side hustles or part-time gigs that accelerate your goals
💥 Use the downsizer rules to free up equity tax-effectively
💥 Set meaningful money goals and track them every 6 months

This episode will leave you motivated and empowered to take practical steps — right now — toward your own version of early retirement and financial independence.

🎧 Start today. Your future self will thank you.

Key Quotes:

“Every dollar you save or invest today buys you more choices later.”
“Retirement isn’t about quitting work — it’s about choosing how you live your life.”
“Financial freedom doesn’t come from luck, it comes from direction.”
“Super is your future income machine — feed it now so it can feed you later.”

So many people tell me, “I’ve tried budgeting — it just doesn’t work for me.”
But here’s the truth: it’s not you — it’s the budget.

In this Start Here episode, I break down why most budgets fail and share seven practical foundations to help you finally take control of your money — without guilt, shame, or unrealistic expectations.

This episode is for you if:


You keep running out of money before payday


You rely on credit cards to get through the month


You’ve tried budgeting before and “failed”


You feel stuck in a cycle of debt and frustration

🎯 What you’ll learn in this episode:


Why budgeting is about systems, not willpower


The biggest budgeting mistakes people don’t even realise they’re making


How forgotten expenses quietly sabotage your cashflow


Why honesty and buffers are essential to any successful budget


How simplifying your bank accounts can completely change your money flow


Why your financial goals must be built into your budget

This episode is designed to help you get started properly, feel empowered again, and stop going around in circles with your money.
