We are on the cusp of the biggest handover of wealth in the history of the nation: A wall of money- estimated at $3.5 trillion - from both wills and super is about to transfer to the next generation. In Australia, we don't have an inheritance tax (though we do have an effective tax of 17 percent on money inherited through Super). With everyone living longer and the age of inheritance moving ever higher, the issue of 'impatience' is building with some investors not just anticipating future income but actively mortgaging their inheritance...it's a very bad idea. In today's show explain why... and also look at:

How to lower the tax due on super inheritance
 Ozempic's health and investment outcomes 
Super statistics for women
