5 Money Essentials
from Money with Alpha · host Alpha Schulte
Looking at your finances can feel overwhelming, and questions like "where do I start?", "what do I do first?", and/or "but, how?" are extremely common (even for me!). In this episode I break down the Top 5 things I believe are the most important money things to do, in order of priority. Here is a summary: Set up your Emergency Fund, with 6 to 12 months of living expenses in there Pay off debt with the highest interest rate first, and then move down until what's left is your mortgage Increase your superannuation contributions (preferrably through salary sacrifice) Get into the habit of saving (automate it!) Sort out your Estate Plan (Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, etc.). More detail in the episode to help you with the how.
