He discusses the real cost of holding underperforming investments, how to assess whether an advisor is actually adding value, and the common pitfalls of over-contributing to super when tax benefits are marginal.For listeners who’ve built up significant property equity but now want more lifestyle freedom, Campbell provides guidance on when to upgrade your home, when to walk away from additional property investment, and how to think about risk-adjusted returns from ETFs versus real estate.
